Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Sounds like a good 5/7 debut. Hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the season.

 

I can see him being treat similar to Ben Arfa/Robert by some fans once he's settled like, in the way that he'll be shot down and we'll get massive groans when one of those 60 yard balls goes into the crowd 10 yards behind Janmaat, etc. He's not going to do that every game but it'll be worth it in the long run seeing the benefit of his type of play.

Stonking debut. Completely changed our side. The missing link. Controlled play and opened things up. Can't be underestimate how much he helped improve the team. Less pressure on gini and Moussa to create and Gave them more space. He even made colback look good imo.

 

Great point, he'll really help other players with his own play.

Perhaps, but I see him as closer to a Nobby style player; occasional ambitious misses but outweighed by a perceptiveness and technique which was like witchcraft.

Match reports in the papers seem to be making a big deal over that shoulder barge on Valencia. Really didn't see much of a problem with it at the time. Is there genuinely a case for a retrospective ban?

Of course they are. Ruins the narrative of us going down if we are playing well and picking up points.

 

Absolutely nowt in it. Like McClaren said, it's handbags. Can't be banned for it surely. Barely a yellow.

Referee was looking straight at it so I don't think they could do anything anyway, even if it was deemed ban worthy (which it wasn't!).

Was very negative about this signing because he looked a bit like a dick and not the  character we need. Absolutely delighted about how wrong he proved me though. Some of his passing was delightful today, if we could just get rid of Colback it would be swell!

brilliant debut.  The long pass to Janmaat was sublime.  Love lethal touch football.

Colback doesn't even dream of attempting that kind of pass. Let alone actually trying and pulling it off.

Valencia was milking it for all it was worth also, pretty sure from the replay the arm never even reached his face.

Indeed, was looking for that on the replay. No contact with the face at all... But of course that's the first thing Valencia went for.

Colback is so negative he even tried to turn back to someone behind...when he was the last man! :lol:

Chalk and cheese between him and Shelvey today. Shelvey was on everything, trying to make forward passes, even when they couldn't go forward his passes were still progressive. Colback was unseen in first half apart from committing a foul to give West Ham a cheap free kick. What the hell Colback was trying to do in the 2nd half when he was on the ground shielding the ball in our own box I'll never know, he should have just got rid of it.
