Eddie Howe

[Colos Short and Curlies]

I can't get my head around the fact that a member of S Club Juniors is married to Shelvey.

Based on his pre-match conference, think we'll probably see Dubs and Schar starting, but the rest being players that have been there for the last 10 days.

I just can't see any reason why he would continue with Ritchie at LB so Lewis has to be in the starting line-up. That makes 3 which isn't 4.

Old, but wtf?

It's interesting he mentioned two players who probably need to feel loved to perform. Eddie knows what he is doing.

Spot on. He strikes me as someone who'll know what approach will work with different individuals.

If Howe says Shelvey is the man after 2 weeks intensive training then who am I to say he's not 

[Yorkie]

Enjoyed his presser. So refreshing listening to someone earnest and sincere and methodical. He's got a very trustworthy vibe.

Is there anywhere I can listen to the press conference?

Firstly, where can I watch the full thing? 

 

Also, hes picked out Shelvey and Joelinton, 2 players synonymous with the Brucey era. One lambasted for his laziness and the other for being an over priced flop. Why do you reckon he's done this?

 

It's almost certainly because they are the two players who could benefit from a lift. Shelvey because he's a sulky bugger who needs constant prodding and Joelinton because he's clearly bereft of confidence. It's man management. I mean proper man management.

 

It's ironic that they are the polar opposite of each other. Joelinton keeps his head down and works his socks off but has zero end product and Shelvey who has the heart of a pea but can put the ball on someone from 40 yards.

 

If Eddie Howe can get Shelvey working and Joelinton using his brain, he will be a miracle worker.

He was specifically asked about Joelinton in fairness, but very deliberately brought Shelvey up.

Well he was asked to talk about a player too but shelvey was the one that came to mind.

 

I have zero doubts we will see an improved Shelvey. We always do, he was immense for Rafa to start. It's in 6 months time, give or take he will revert to type. 

 

If we can change our style and successfully attack to push teams back, while retaining pressure we might create the space shelvey needs to be effective. If there is time and space shelvey can be useful but it seems like a big ask for any team in this league let alone the one with the usual lowest possession and no fluidity and effective plan to attack. That's where Howe comes in, but we shall see if it's possible.

[Guest reefatoon]

That press conference was a great listen. He's a confident bloke, which will rub off on the people around him. Was also amazing not hearing our manager putting us down and bigging up the opposition. Tomorrow's game can't come soon enough.

[GWN]

Shelvey I predicted would be a EH player for now , he CAN pass a ball , he’s just a lazy cunt at times .

 

Good listen , now go get the win .

[Billy Pilgrim]

It will take months of decent performances before I drop any sort of grudge against Joelinton and shelvey and darlow. I am pure sick of the sight of all of them, more than most of you lot were with Bruce, and it will take literal miracles to turn them into premier league footballers. Shelvey has the talent but he is as thick as a brick and a self destructive, lazy dickhead. The amount of stupid fouls and cards he gets himself into because he was too lazy to go early. Maddening. 

[Away Toon]

Shelvey can't play in a two man midfield even with Hayden as off the ball and defensively he's so poor and if he plays further forward he doesn't have any space and gets lost. Not sure what anyone can do with him really. Maybe if we have players running around and looking for space he can find someone to pass to.

[KaKa]

I would love to see Joelinton emerge under Howe just to show how utterly useless Bruce was, and same with Shelvey really. If Howe gets those lot performing to a high level then we really do have someone extra special in place.
