andyc35i Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 He was still top level today. He did miss a few passes that he’d usually make and didn’t get those fouls he gets by protecting the ball, but still made a big contribution. That two footed lunge at the end of the game was ludicrous though and he’s lucky he didn’t hurt the Chelsea guy baldy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Thought he was fine but for a noticeably misplaced/overhit key pass or two. Grafted well and was part of a central midfield that won the individual battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wasn't at his best in possession today, but his tenacity and defensive work were first class. It's very rare that you see teams tearing through the middle against us like they used to when Shelvey was in that position under Bruce. His off the ball work is very underrated IMO.

elbee909 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I'm sure he won't have been happy with his own standard of play. It's not slagging him off at all to recognise that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Their only decent shot was from him giving it away on the edge of the box. Sometimes he is a bit to casual in dangerous areas. Maybe you can have that extra second on the ball in other European leagues, but not in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely not in his nature to just get rid even when the situation demands it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Slight dip in form has got to be because of the new bairn. I didn't know whether to shit or wind my watch for months and months when I became a new fatha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Just one slightly less good performance than all his others but let’s not call it a dip in form ffs.. we just beat Chelsea and are 3rd .. he played a big part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how he does it, but despite not being the quickest, he seems to be everywhere at once. This wasn't even one of his best games but he was still calling the shots.

Oregon_Geordie Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Looked knackered the last 2/3 games. Understandable with Matteo and the amount of games. WC will do him good. Less intensity, some sun. Back to his best in 23! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Absolute insanity, I kind of like the fact he’s a bit unhinged. It’s all linked to him not being able to cope with when he plays anything below his best. However, he will get a red one day, probably not that far off, in a game where he gets frustrated at himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it odd I think he's pretty inward-looking, like; very much wants to be the hero. It's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't think his performances have dropped that much tbh. He moved the ball really well yesterday and his tenacity off it was as useful as ever, he's just lost a bit of precision with those passes into the final third. I'm pleased for him that he's going to the World Cup but not devastated that the likes of Fred seem to get the nod over him. He, like basically every player in the Premier League, could use the rest.

He’s usually the first to run over to Miggy too, I saw it as he was trying to get his focus to defend the lead / tired legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
