Jonjo Shelvey

[Joso]

I love the baldy. He is a beauty of a player, smart, confident, and skillful.

[Geraghty]

His reaction to Skrtle slapping him was class,looked like he was gona crack him back

 

He has a presence on the football field that a player at his age shouldn't have and could simply never be taught.

[DooooodekNo5]

Ive always liked him from the bits and pieces weve seen of him since hes been here.....

 

What i like about him the most is that hes extremly comfortable with both feet like all proper footballers should be .... hes never really had a run of games which is a shame as im sure he would do well , hes definatly a Liverpool player......

 

....You can see the hunger and desire to do well , the potential is blatently there with him , i just hope he gets a fair chance to make it here.

Definatly.

 

Hope Kenny finds a place for him on Saturday.

[Strontium]

The good thing is we now don't need to worry about what we do when Gerrard gets old and shit.

 

(What do you mean "when" ho ho ho)

[Jhinge Machha]

one thing this lad has is confidence, isnt afraid to try things out- anyone remember when he tried to embarrass van der sar with a free kick from the half way line,

 

 

he seemed annoyed with robbie savage's tweets a couple of days ago..that might have spurred him on

[llego]

knows what he wants to do before he gets the ball.

 

For some players thats a confidence issue. With him it seems to be a game intelligence thing. ace.

[Iceman]

He was immense tonight. Really hope he gets a good run in the team, because his attitude and fearlessness are great to see. He's a bit of an animal too. Which is good. That shows a winning temperament.

[withnail71]

Looks a far better option than Henderson. He had a great game tonight, quick, skillfull, and very confident.

[KopOut]

We may not escape more injuries until the season's end. I'd be keeping him, and giving him selected games.

He struts, he doesn't walk. Put that down to his presence, arrogance or onfidence, I don't really care. He showed for the ball, trusted his ability and went for it.

[DanDanShaw]

If only Hendo had his confidence.

[Best Believe It]

He's quality, is young Jonjo. Never hides, works hard and looks to get in goalscoring positions.

[Bjornebye]

shelvey and coates are a glimpse at the future .... it's looking better already.

 

shelvey has to play on saturday....

 

Holloway has sorted him right out !

[Lario]

Looks a player.

[kalasoma]

Call me all the names under the sun, but what I saw of Jonjo yesterday, and against Oldham (even down to the way he runs) was a little glimmer of a young Gerrard. Not saying right now, but he may be, possibly in there somewhere, someday. He can only benefit from playing alongside Gerrard too. So who knows?

He obviously lacks Gerrard's power and pace, but he has a very appealing manner; a confidence and bravery that can only help.

 

He played well last night, looked a good player.

Jonjo Shelvey joins Rafa Benitez's plan to revive Reds with players who 'feel' Liverpool | Mail Online

 

Thanks Rafa.

 

 

He's a cracking player.

[Evil_Ways]

Dont mean to be a negative fuck, but makes you wonder if we really needed Adam and Henderson with Spearing and Jonjo coming through...

[kalasoma]

I think we were looking for the experience and composure of Adam, and the legs and youth of Henderson. Henderson can run for days, it's just sometimes he's doing it with no positive effect. Combined, Adam and Henderson might have been looked at (on paper) as suitable replacements for Gerrard with support from Lucas? I don't know. It was hard to know what Jonjo was going to become. The times out on loan helped him a great deal. He looks far more composed now than when we first saw him at 18.

Yeah i realise why but quite honestly i dont think we'd have had a worse points tally giving Spearing and Shelvey more games.

Yep. Welcome to the World of Wasted Millions.

 

Shelvey's been there all season as well, just waiting, patiently, and training hard, getting his head down. It's not like we just discovered him last week.

Coady could do what Adam has done.

 

That's £25m that could have been spent on a proper right winger, as opposed to playing Henderson right midfield every week. Lunacy.

 

 

We're an odd team really, we play Suarez as an out and out forward, which isn't his position. We play Henderson wide right, which isnt his position, we play Gerrard centre mid which isnt his position, we play Kuyt as a winger, which isnt his position, we play Bellamy as a winger which isnt his position, we play Maxi on the bench which isnt his position...

[RobbieOR]

Spearing isnt good enough.

 

Shelvey and Henderson are though.

[JohnnyH]

I've been saying it for ages, but Shelvey is going to be excellant. Two great feet, wonderful player awareness, great range of passing. Pace doesn't matter a shite for a midfielder. He's going to be superb, I just hopes it's here.

Shelvey does have a bright future if he can fulfil his potential. This would have been the perfect season for him to really break through. But with us signing Adam and Henderson his chances have been limited and that has certainly held him back, tho i guess the Blackpool loan did him good. I hope he gets to stay in the team for the rest of the season, if not against Everton on saturday, certainly in the rest of the prem games. For him to develop into the player his potential suggest he can become, he needs games. Looking at him play you wouldnt imagine he's just turned 20, and im not talking about how he looks, but how he plays.

 

Very unlikely but, for next season i'd hope we shipped off the signings that clearly has not worked out, brought in a quality defensive midfielder to play alongside Lucas, or flat out replace him if he can't come back from his ACL injury. And then gave Shelvey the chance to prove himself, and also bring in a couple of top attacking players, aswell as playing Gerrard in his best position consistently.
