After promising myself to not mention this again, I am overwhelmed by the fact that Shelvey is a pure liability. He's an attack killer and momentum depressant with his ever more creative ways to give the ball away. Even I'm impressed by the variety and frequency - negatively impressed, that is. I refused to do the counting, but I'd bet that he just plain gave the ball away in the attacking half more often than the rest of the team combined. Sorry to say this, but we'd have been better off today playing with ten men. | |
