colinmk Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Can't stand him, rare to see a player at that level with so little awareness of positioning and opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Can't stand him, rare to see a player at that level with so little awareness of positioning and opposition. Pretty much my feelings about the bloke as well. He's a luxury player and it's not what we need in this position. Awful signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Big call by Rafa to drop him today, but it was 100% the correct call, think he'll be benched for the rest of the season now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 What a difference an actual manager can make. Brave and knowledgeable enough to drop players or take them off. Good to see him take Wijnaldum off too today. He wasn't deserving to stay on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Shelvey reminds me of Nicky Butt, with this pattern of losing possession by playing the pass that was only possible half a second before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much my feelings about the bloke as well. He's a luxury player and it's not what we need in this position. Awful signing. was marking fresh air most of the time he was on the pitch and we weren't in possession. good call by rafa, not afraid to drop big names and reputations so hopefully Gini is next.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Didn't agree with dropping him but it worked for team shape. He could be a really good player, I have hope he can be a good all-rounder under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm just not sure how he's ever going to fit in if he needs two in there with him, unless you're going to play him in the 10 position but there's half the squad who seem to prefer to play in that role.

TRon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I thought our worst passage of play coincided with when he came on. In the first half Norwich barely had a shot in anger, after he replaced Tiote, suddenly there was gaps all over the place and they had three great chances to score which if they'd taken could have wrecked this game. He's the Steven Taylor of midfield, lots of pointing and not much else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The main issue with Shelvey is once he has no space to work with, he's pretty useless. This weakness has been exploited quite a lot recently so it was the right call to drop him today imo. It's certainly come to the point that he shouldn't be starting our remaining games.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 He hasn't been a good signing at all, needs loads of time and space when attacking and it's like he's not there when we're defending. Maybe he can improve but I would be playing him at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can improve but I would be playing him at the moment. It's going to take a huge change in attitude for him to become someone dependable in the team.

Leazes_End_Mag Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Didn't agree with the decision to drop him but it worked 100%. We looked far weaker defensively as soon as Tiote went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'm not rating Shelvey. If we can't control the game he's a luxury. If you're in a relegation scrap he looks like a luxury also. Wouldn't play him again this season unless something dramatic changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begbie Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Sooooo slooooow. Slow motion technique and slow motion running. So far he is worse than i thought, think he would be good in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh74 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 He's more of a number 10,just add him to the list of number 10s in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 He's more of a number 10,just add him to the list of number 10s in the squad. He isn't, his long passing is his best attribute by a mile. He's not agile or skillful enough to be a number 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I don't get what he is. He's supposed to be a proficient long range passer (which is questionable imo), so should surely sit deeper...but he looks terrible there. He's not got the guile, agility or intelligence to play in behind a striker. He couldn't play anywhere on the sides due to his lack of athleticism...so what the hell is he? Really don't like him, technically or attitude-wise. English tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
