Thiago Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He's a microcosm for the team. We don't have players that can pick locks. It's a group built to counter attacking football and running into space. He's best when he can gallop into space, and even then he created a good chance for ASM.

Guest HTT II Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He needs peddled too, despite his recent upturn in form. He’s still shite! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Great that this fella has turned up for the last month or so but, fuck me, how can a professional player not generate any fucking power in their shots?!!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 When he let the ball run across his body instead of just smashing it... man, wish he would have more confidence in the final 3rd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Rene Higuita finished his club career with a higher game/goal ratio than he has with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it’s been nice watching his resurrection I don’t see it lasting. If it’s restored his transfer value to £15-18m, cash in while he’s ‘hot’.

Palestoon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) I know he missed a couple of chances, but he was immense again. the best player for on the pitch for us bar maybe trippier week in week out. get him some help in midfield and i think we'll see another level from him.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 He was good again after last week's shitshow. Time and time again, he wins the ball and gets us on our way on the break but we contrive to fuck it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 He shared a lovely moment with the Gallowgate at full time, bowing down to the supporters as his name resounded. He was fantastic, and is going to be crucial to us if we're to stay in the league this season. Continually our best player for months now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palestoon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 there was a moment where he received the ball in our own half with our back to goal, turned his defender, burst past 2 players into the opposing half, and played fraser in on the right wing. 10 seconds later he was by our corner flag tackling one of their players. i had to rewind to make sure it was him. great engine. Shelvey should be embarrassed strolling about for 90 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I love him like, it was pretty obvious months ago but surely nobody still believes this is just a purple patch? The only thing he really lacks is a proper crunching sliding tackle imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Mental to read people would peddle him. He's one that cares, and after some of the shite he's put up with he could easily have downed tools and demanded a loan move January 1. He won't always be what we need in CM, but hes consistently a ball winner and instigator. Get him next to a reliable ball player and we'll be so much closer to having a serviceable midfield.

Vinny Green Balls Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Shelvey and whoever has gone alongside him are the obvious problem. That is my biggest disappointment with Howe, sticking with Shelvey. You are just asking for the midfield to get overrun. And for what, an occasional sixty yard pass?

But Shelvey is an even bigger liability defensively, and he's not exactly making up for it by creating a ton of chances. This area needs addressing so badly to state the obvious.

How hard is it to find someone who can close down the opposition and pick a simple pass? I reckon you could take someone out of the under 21 side who would make a better fist of it. We've already seen a CF make it look much easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 IF we could get a tune out of Willock or find consistency with Hayden not being a card magnet we'd be fine. Joelinton is the least of our issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
