Nepharite Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Shelvey playing out of his skin looks like Bruno's day to day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon_Geordie Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Looks good but I think him and Shelvey were on each others toes a little. He clearly dictates the rhythm of the team, but more so through a far more diverse set of passing and movement than Jonjo. Clearly a very smart player and was far more vocal with his demand for the ball. Excited to see more when he's can run the show.

Sima Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Thought Shelvey was poor today. Now’s the time to make a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He looks like the quality player we thought he is, he will get more time slowly but i don't see a reason to change things while its working so well at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even closing players down with 10 mins to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Can’t wait to see him play through balls to Paqueta and Nkunku and Wilson or whoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I missed most of the second half so didn’t see him play. Where did play when he came off and how did Howe change it as he came on for Murphy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played alongside Shelvey in the middle and Joelinton went a but further forward on the wing Then Lascelles came on for Willock and we went 5 at the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like we changed from a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1, him and Shelvey as the two, Joelinton on the right and Willock central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Thought Shelvey played well today so wouldn't be surprised if Bruno starts on the bench again against Brighton, but it's clear as day that of the current midfield 3, if one of them is to be sacrificed, it's Shelvey.

Lush Vlad Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Loved how positive he was. Always looking to get on the ball and seeing if a forward pass was on. He didn’t mind receiving a pass under pressure or making one to a teammate who had a marker. Just that and also the fact he passed and moved and was busy, is an extra dimension to this midfield. No passing it and then admiring it and loafing off. As good as the 3 have been. Shelvey does things in slow motion. He actually looked better when Bruno came on next to him. Joelinton isn’t one to get on the ball loads in the middle, just better at winning it back. Seems more comfortable in wider areas for some reason. Willock is a runner and a bloody good one at that. Just not great with his passing (as in how many he makes, not accuracy) and not regularly showing for the ball. Hard to judge against ten. But I really liked what I saw. Not sure how he fits in the starting XI. But he should be starting IMO. Edited February 26, 2022 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Really like the look of him, he was instantly dictating the game after he came on and is the type of player that will make the pitch feel 10 yards wider each side. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if he makes a costly mistake or two as he gets used to the division. He seems to like to hold the ball whilst he's manoeuvring to make a progressive pass and can see him getting caught out as he gets up to speed.

Conjo Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) If he starts, players in front of him needs to work on anticipating passes this coming week. He played some lovely balls into space, but players in front of him didn't react until the ball was played. Edited February 26, 2022 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1892er Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 There was a nice through ball he played but I don't think he was counting on the sloth that is Wood chasing it down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Played one luscious through ball, just after his shot wide, that should have amounted to more n all. His tackling technique is a bit off though, might need some work albeit the state of the Brentstoke players it’s no surprise he didn’t want to get leg snapped.

Oregon_Geordie Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I think Bruno and Wilson would give us something very different. We're starting to add far more dimension to our attacking threat. Exciting times for sure. Edited February 26, 2022 by Oregon_Geordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hasn't even started a game yet but he's gesturing to our right back where to run WHILE he's in possesion of the ball. We've had midfielders in the past who have failed to communicate accurately in their post match interviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
