I remember a thread on this board during the summer window when we were being linked with a move for jonjo Shelvey and the members on this board joined in a chorus of protests to say that he's wank. After watching him turn shawcross round twice on a sixpence for the third goal yday do you think that he has managed to improve so much since summer or is there some reflection to be made about shawcross himself ?

So you think we should go after Shelvey?

The post was intended more as a reflection on shawcross rather than an assessment of Shelvey

Shelvey is average at best, a truck turns quicker

ha ha ... trying to get your point across through the back door ;-) ...... My thoughts on Shelvey is .... he's bloody good, and better than most of the posters on here gave him credit for when he was being linked with us in the summer. My thoughts on Shawcross is ...... He's a good strong defender in the old fashioned Pulis style. Physical, Strong and committed beyond the call of duty, but technically he's limited, especially when surrounded by equally technically limited colleagues.
When we were playing as an 8 man defence, there was no room for technical ability, it was just battle and get it out, now we are trying to play the more pleasing on the eye style, the limitations on almost ALL of our players is blatantly obvious.

Great assesment, now the defence is more isolated the flaws are there to see,Palacios did a decent job sitting yester-day but when subbed we were to exposed,i suppose we are not as good at the back as we all thought

In the words of my Dad "Shawcross shouldn't be getting turned by that cunt". I agree with him.

I thought he beat Cameron and then crossed it to Bony for the third goal?
I wish we'd have signed Shelvey although I'm not a fan, I think he'd be an improvement to our squad.

Shelvey is shite and Shawcross was made to look stupid by him. Make your own conclusions from that.

I'm not sure that he is the type / position of player that is our top priority at the moment - we need an out and out striker / goal poacher style of player and a composed and capable midfield player if at all possible, Hopefully we can strengthen our squad in January

Same as with the chamack goal vs palace. Plus missing a number of sitters in front of goal due to a glaring lack of technical ability is so frustrating
