Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)

Our best player by far, as he has been in the vast majority of games since he's joined.

 

No chance, absolutely no chance.

Shelvey is a very good player. He's enabled by the players around him though, our movement off the ball has been atrocious for years.

 

We've got plenty of players that like running on the ball, but have no concept whatsoever of moving off it - Sissoko, Townsend, Wijnaldum to name 3 of our 'best' players.

 

It's no coincidence on Shelvey's debut he pinged about 5 long passes to Janmaat as he's the only player with a football brain, despite his shite defensive contribution.

 

Our team is awash with brainless, head-down, Forrest Gumps and it's no wonder Shelvey is looking gash when faced with trying to pick a pass in our team.

He's nowhere near a very good player.  He's got one attribute and that's it, rest of his game is either poor or awful.

And it's an attribute that doesn't even come off that often.  Some of his drilled balls from the centre circle in a vertical line to the keeper were beyond baffling - it's a pass that would literally never work.

He loses the ball through misplaced passes less than nearly all of our other attacking players when they just have the ball at their feet.

He does that as well.
