Consortium of one Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Surely Bruno replaces Shelvey in a midfield 3? Guimaraes can pass, defend and cover ground. Shelvey seems content to do as little as possible to keep his job. He was a passenger under Bruce. Put his head down under Howe but when he started feeling comfortable again he started slacking off. I can't stand him. If it's a Midfield 3 it almost has to be Joe, Bruno and Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a feeling Shelvey won't be the one to be dropped. He's started every game under Howe hasn't he? Even took the captains armband on Saturday when Lascelles scored. EDIT: I mean, I wouldn't be arsed if he was binned off, like. Edited January 27, 2022 by Mr Raspberry Jam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said this in the Joelinton thread but I think if you have Joe and Bruno in there, that's enough legs to allow Shelvey to do his quarterback stuff. You can afford to have one lazy playmaker in a 3 man midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Shelvey can pass, and he's shown he's capable of improving his fitness. It's up to Howe to keep on top of it and push him, dropping or at least bollocking him if he starts to fall back again. He's clearly a very capable footballer but just not a great athlete. Hopefully he can sustain the improvements he's started to show. If we're going to have 3 in midfield, and if Bruno signs, then that will give us Bruno, Joelinton, Shelvey, Willock, Longstaff and Shortstaff to pick from. Given that we'll pick up injuries, cards, and people will get tired if they play all the time, then it would be stupid to suggest Shelvey won't have a decent role to play still.

timeEd32 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 My guess is it would be Willock that misses out if Bruno, Joe, and Shelvey are fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand him. If it's a Midfield 3 it almost has to be Joe, Bruno and Longstaff. Joe —— Bruno —— Willock For me I take Willock over Longstaff. Willock could genuinely break from midfield knowing he’s got a decent short to mid-range passer to find him and good legs to cover if the move breaks down. If Willock scores 1 or 2 (his composure in and near the box is better than Longstaff’s and Joe’s) then he could get on a run again. It would also stop opposition defenders honey-potting around Maxi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you cannot play the same 3 players for 90 minutes every week, it just won't happen. We need Shelvey still, he'll get plenty of game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Shelvey gets a lot of stick but he is just a robot, he just mimics his manager , under Rafa he grafted and stuck to a position, under Bruce he was akin to Homer Simpsons helper monkey and now under Howe he's back to performing and looking very fit, he has talent but he's obviously on a downward trajectory career wise but he almost certainly has a part to play this season.
