Alan Doh'liver 219 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 25 minutes ago, Alex said: When Shelvey played well under Benitez he reminded me a little bit of Paul Scholes at times. I’m not suggesting he’s anywhere near that level but he seemed to easily find pockets of space on the pitch. He was usually available when we had possession and would rarely give the ball away (despite not being scared to pass the ball forwards). Under Bruce he looked like he couldn’t give a fuck It would be a lot easier to find a place for Shelvey in a Benitez side, we tended to sit quite deep, and that meant players who weren't the quickest were less exposed. Shelvey might cover a lot of ground, but he does it slowly. If Howe's going to play a pressing game, he's going to find it hard to get Shelvey on board. If you watch him, his tackles are always a second or two late, he just doesn't have the acceleration to get his foot in on time. On the ball he is class, just don't think he's cut out at all for a quick passing side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Joelinton unsurprisingly has a look of utter bewilderment on his face as Howe is giving out instruction. In fairness to him maybe his English still isn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Also Howe is talking about football which isn’t one of Joelinton’s specialist subjects. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Imagine the players actually making space for themselves to receive the ball, and in better areas. That's what Howe seemed to be trying to get across to them. The team is so static and disjointed, that if they can take in and reproduce his instruction in games, it's going to make us look like an actual coherent unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Bruce would be out of breath just watching that, why is Howe running? Shouldn’t he be guzzling coffee in his office to fight off the hangover from last night? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His face looks better now that he's got his hair brushed back in a slightly less nerdish fashion. The hip factor goes up 30% to -25 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to him maybe his English still isn't great. Most of them do tbf, Shelvey looks like he's been asked to pick up dog turds all around the ground. The only one who looks remotely interested in running is Lewis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
