Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)

[STM]

Do you reckon he will be in the next England squad? Has to be in with a shout, if Hodgson picked him in the last one.

 

Would be nice to have some interest in an England game.

I think he may well end up in the squad for the Euros. Would be nice to have a lad involved.

That was a very competent debut.

 

Delicious passes to set up the goals.

Let's hope he keeps playing at this standard. For gods sake keep him away from our medical staff.

[henke]

Identifying what's missing in the midfield, then going out and buying exactly that? Jesus it's such a monumental shift in policy. My heads done in.

[1964]

The incident was a whole heap of shag all. Petulant but the way some were going on I thought he must have knifed him.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good debut, not at all surprised, as he is clearly an upgrade on what we had in the middle. Hopefully Saivet can get to grips quickly, badly want Colback out of the team

 

There was nowt in the incident, Valencia made a complete meal of it

[Interpolic]

This mad gyspie freak is exactly what we need. Outstanding performance yesterday.

[54]

That ball though.

[Heron]

Looks like the seagulls out of Nemo...

I like to imagine him as a Shelby from Peaky Blinders- East London branch. Can see Tom Hardy nailing the part!

[OoOGazOoO]

Im only repeating what has already been said but my days, that ball to Janmaat was unbelievable. So refreshing for both goals to see him pick the ball up and be positive and look forward and to initiate things.

played son!

Am I the only one seeing McClaren's face in Jonjo's elbow tattoo?

That first touch from Janmaat into space behind the defender was lush too. He used to do that regularly when he first arrived but we've not seen it so much for a while now.

That's been a little bit overlooked by pundits, it's a fantastic touch, sets up the cross to perfection.

Aye, if that ball's going from right to left then it's a throw-in or goal kick to West Ham.

Georginio Wijnaldum believes Jonjo Shelvey “brings football” to the Newcastle United side because he sees everything out on the pitch.

 

The £12million January signing from Swansea City enjoyed an inspired Magpies debut at St James’ Park on Saturday, controlling the game and playing a key role in both Newcastle goals in a much-needed 2-1 victory over West Ham United.

 

For Newcastle’s opener, Shelvey fed the ball into Wijnaldum on the edge of the box, and the Dutchman laid it off for Ayoze Perez to curl into the bottom corner from 18 yards.

 

But his contribution for the second was even more impressive.

 

Picking the ball up in his own half, Shelvey saw Daryl Janmaat making a run down the right-hand side and pinged an inch-perfect 60-yard cross-field ball to the full-back. Janmaat controlled it brilliantly, centred to Wijnaldum, who finished off a wonderful team goal.

 

And Wijnaldum – who grabbed his ninth of the season on Saturday – believes Shelvey has already made a big difference to the Magpies side due to his vision and range of passing.

 

“He brings football,” Wijnaldum replied when asked what he thought Shelvey added to the side.

 

“What you can see in the first goal, the other players were really close but he still found me between the lines.

 

“I just popped off the ball for Ayoze to shoot.

 

“The second goal his pass to Daryl was magnificent. That is something that we need.

 

“We can use a player like him.

 

“We already know he is a good player because I played against him.

 

“We are all happy he is here because he can bring more football to the team.”

 

Not only does Wijnaldum believe Shelvey has added a new dimension to Newcastle’s play, the £14.5million summer signing also admits he finds it more enjoyable with the England international in the side.

 

Shelvey’s arrival has also given the whole side a confidence boost too, insists the Dutch international.

 

“Yeah it’s really enjoyable (playing with Shelvey)” the 25-year-old said.

 

“You know he sees everything. You don’t even have to look behind you and he will find you. He gives confidence to the players and to me.

 

“The first goal we made I stood there and expected him to find me and he did. I trusted him. I am happy with him.”

Takes one to know one: class acts.

Maybe we've signed Charles Xavier by mistake.

His dream of a peaceful coexistence between mutants (midfield) and humanity (forwards) has long been the driving force for the X-Men (the SD free-jacket wearing faithful).

I fucking love Wijnaldum, such a great player and seems to be a decent lad as well. Some nice words being said about Shelvey there like, and from yesterdays showing, he's spot on.

Suits me

[Gallowgate Toon]

The other thing that was noticeable in that first goal is as soon as Shelvey gets the ball, Sissoko makes a run in behind straight away. They obviously trust him to find them.

 

Edit: the pass had a bit of disguise on it too, I thought. He sort of gave the eyes before popping it off.

[Nobody]

Class through ball for Mitrovic in the second half as well. Would have liked to see Anita or Colback even attempting that one, they would have turned and played it back to Coloccini or some shite instead.

[relámpago blanco]

Sort of makes sense that a central midfield that looks to contribute to attacks is better than one that does fuck all.  Can't believe the shit we have had since Cabaye left.  Can't wait for the time when Mclaren realises Colback is shite.

[Altamullan]

omfg how fantastic was that move for the second goal! Think I need to go and watch it again. If we get one in three games like that, man, Ashley/Wonga/TransPennine traffic or not, I fear I may have to frequent SJH and the lesser venues our chaps bless with their presence.
