We've never played them all... If you get players around you it's easier to play...we literally don't get enough players fwd fast enough and players end up isolated... They then lose the ball or miss the only available pass and everyone thinks the players useless. Get them all in the team and give them players to play with around them... One twos are something I've never seen us play
It's a bit of they can't read the game then see all the ****e spouted on twitter and are ****ing sheep who can't think for themselves. Way better than Gayle or Carroll so with ASM, Miggy and Wilson out he is probably the next best option up top for us... not saying he is great like but **** me some of the flak he takes is unreal. Interesting shout on moving him to the left - I presume so he can cut in to shoot? I was thinking the other day he seems to have a lot of chances fall to his unfavoured left foot but that's more about how you set your body up when receiving the ball, first touch and how much forethought he has in what he is doing - all very limited . Hendricks needs to make way for Murphy or Anderson to go into the AM position, drop Willock back in to CM alongside Hayden and a Longstaff brother, although say it quietly - I've been semi impressed with Shelvey in the last two games - disclaimer* all this means is I think Hendricks should be dropped from the squad nothing more...
I completely agree with what you've said. Get Willock back into CM - he's box to box - switch Fraser and Joelinton's sides, throw Hendrick in the sea and put one of those lads in AM. Really decent shout. Will it happen?
I am not his biggest fan as I have mentioned many, many, many times but he has shown improvement in the middle of the three CM's, best passer we have and his work rate is up atm (not sure if he's just realising we are in a relegation fight) but can only last 60=70 mins before he's basically just a body on the pitch. Sean or Matty should be coming on for the last 20/30 to give us some legs in there.
Shelvey is a ****. Should be nowhere near the pitch. I would play Hayden Willock Longstaff 1 Longstaff 2 Saivet **** it, i would even play Hendrick Above the **** that is Shelvey
He's just garbage. Tried to defend him early doors but I'm shocked how poor his ability levels are. Sympathy with him being deployed as a striker, but it doesn't explain him having the body mechanics of a Sunday League players, being unable to trap a bag of cement, or having the touch of Harold Shipman. West Brom was one his better games too I thought when we spent 40m this kid must be something special. Nobody is paying those kind of fees for absolute mugs. Step forward Newcastle United. He sums up this owner really. Knows nothing about football and it shows in how he runs a football club.
He has been killing us. I get why he was here. He was tailor made for Rafa's defensive counter. He has good passing range, its all he has. I personally don't think he's particularly accurate with his passing. I don't know if the stats back that up, but obviously stats are misleading at times anyway. When you sit deep and counter, your midfielders don't need to make gut busting runs - fine. However Bruce talks about changing how we play. Then picks Shelvey which dilutes his whole commentary immediately. You can't play modern football with Jonjo Shelvey. He doesn't run anywhere. Again I don't know what the stats say, but he's lazy to me. He watches people run off him all the time. So if he is covering ground I'm not seeing, then he's not using his energy very wisely. Should have been sold by now.
Did he start 17 games or make 17 appearances... The two things are very different and often overlooked.
