Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)

The thing is I think going into half time he genuinely thought everything was rosey. Where he should have been using the 15 minutes to change things about and make sure everyone understood their role he seemingly just stood there grinning.

So my mate got in a right strop about Shelvey.  Text me saying that he's a right prick and he played shit.  Reckons one of our fans was telling Jonjo to lift his corners and get more height on it, as he wasn't clearing the first man.  I'm sure he said this in a slightly more aggressive way, mind :lol: Shelvey turned round and told him to fuck off :lol:

 

If he ends up helping us get enough points to stay up.  I'm not sure that I give a fuck about him swearing in the heat of the moment.  I'm sure he was pretty frustrated at how badly he played and how shit we were in general.

Everything else aside he has two attributes which we have been missing from our CM. Firstly, he always looks to go forwards and do it quickly - there was one free kick in the 2nd half Saturday from about 45 yards out that he took and his first instinct was to look up and he played a clever reverse ball into the box along the ground to Mitro. Colback would still have been lining up to float it into the keepers arms at that point. Secondly, he looks like he cares. Was shouting at a ball boy to get the ball back to him more quickly at one point. Ok so as a professional you shouldn't really be swearing at a kid, but at least he showed a bit of passion.

Your mates version:  'Mr Shelvey, have you possibly considered adding loft to the ball so that your set piece may more effectively bypass their first line of defence?'

 

Reality:  'How, Shelvey, ya bald cunt.  Put some fucking height on it man, your corners are shite.  Stupid twat.'

:lol: that's exactly how I thought of it and all. 

 

I honestly couldn't give a toss either way.  I'm glad he's fired up and pissed off with playing badly.  Would be better to just ignore it, like.  But a lot of players would probably just shrug or laugh it off.

Pretty sure this isn't true. For starters his corners were decent enough and only one hit the first man from memory.

 

One of the ball boys was taking his time to give him the ball so he had a pop at him. Then after the corner went in he ran past and had another tirade at the kid. :lol: That was the only thing I saw being down by the corner flag.

My mate was raving about Shelvey the other week.  So I have no reason to not believe him.  I think he was right near the front and all.

 

However.  I wouldn't have thought he'd be so quick to fall out with fans.  Especially not after the way he went on after his last game for Swansea.

At least he still wanted the ball. That's about it.

I'll give him that - also there was zero movement - he had nothing to pass to in the 1st half.  When Mitro came on he feed a couple of decent balls to him.

As bad a central midfield display as I've ever seen in our colours. And I include Nicky Butt in that.

 

What the absolute fuck are you on about? :lol: Ignoring the couple times he basically had Mitro in on goal with 50 odd yard passes

Sounds like you are ignoring the other 92 minutes and 50 seconds when he was utter garbage.
