Dr Venkman Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thought I'd quote this in here as it was brought up during the Stoke game. I've read a few things about the Bournemouth game saying he looked the only one bothered, I didn't see it. He seems to really polarise opinion but every time I've seen him play for us he's looked the most likely to do something by virtue of always looking to be involved. Am I mad? It's been a long time since I can remember a new signing give less of a fuck than Shelvey. It's weird, this. I don't see that at all. I see someone always looking for the ball and trying to make things happen. He's been defending all night as well. Just me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't play it safe though and as a result he stands out which will naturally split opinion. He's like the anti-Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 He's horrible defensively mind, I know some people subscribe to the running around like a mad man is a good thing but when your playing central midfield with job back then holding position and managing the space is much more important to prevent us being exposed on central midfield.

He doesn't play it safe though and as a result he stands out which will naturally split opinion. He's like the anti-Colback. Yep. Like people complaining about his pass completion rate against Stoke. He's one of the only players who passes forward. He tries low percentage, higher risk passes. He's going to give it away from time to time. I think he has 3-4 assists already and a load more key passes on top of that. We needed a midfielder like him. He just isn't very mobile and he's pretty crap at defending.

thenige Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 You need good players around him doing the running and being positionally sound. Instead we have Jack 'Coward' Colback and Gini 'Invisible Man' Wijnaldum. We've got such an unbalanced squad we've got little to no chance of staying up now.

I haven't seen it myself, yes - he's been shite in games but I wouldn't equate that to not being arsed. I think some get confused between the two unfortunately.

I think our whole midfield is like that tbh. It doesn't come naturally to Wijnaldum or Sissoko, that's not what they were bought for. This is what happens when you have a chief scout who is buying players usng a different criteria to the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillipealbert Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 So. Where will Shelvey go this summer? Because ATM he is the odd one out. Doesn't fit in with the rest of the squad. Needs to be cashed-in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Really talented player playing in a shit team. See also Perez, Mitrovic, Wijnaldum and Mbemba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The only one who offered any effort on saturday, to the extent where he could of been sent off twice from what I recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The difference in him compared to others on Saturday was very obvious, IMO. He wanted the ball, tried to take players on, made tackles, passed the ball forwards (quickly) and always tried to be positive. Wijanldum and Sissoko were patently hiding at various points in the match, Bournemouth were quite physical and pressed in numbers and they both wilted. The fighting thing might be a cliché but it's not wrong. You do need it in this league when you're so deficient of quality in other areas. It was the most captain-like performance I've seen from one of our lot in years, and he was hardly spectacular Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Got pointed to Sunderlands site where there was a thread on relegation and Swansea mentioned. I looked at other threads and found this in another thread (Shelvey & Andy Carroll) "I was in the diamond ponteland Sunday night, and these two were in getting absolutely hammered. Cue the responses of "they're allowed a life" but they were necking pint after pint and dancing to a karaoke... Also just noticed the mags had a day off training yesterday so it epitomises Shelveys attitude going out getting smashed when they're in a dire situation" Hope that's not true. can't recall any mention of him getting drunk between games when he was with us.
