Shelvey for me, more direct and will work harder in defence. Him and Gomis looked a good pairing v Saints too.

JJS is our most naturally gifted player no doubt , he has it all in his locker , he just needs to get it together .
I read he covered more ground Sunday than everyone in the team bar Tom Carrol . |
Tom for once I disagree with you ......
Gylfi IMO is more naturally gifted (a nice problem for Garry to have).
The most disappointing part is that with all players fit, I believe we had a great chance in the FA cup this year where all players could got game time. |  | | |

Is this a serious thread??
Are we talking about the lazy, unfit and ill diciplined shelvey that most swans fans called him the last few weeks??? One decent game, a good strike and a cracking goal and now he's keeping our most creative player out of the team??
What a load of bollocks!! Gylfi is twice the player shelvey is ...
Just so you know, I'm a fan of shelvy too |  | | |

In fairness, those "ill disciplined" criticisms of JJS are mostly based on his performances as a DM. Obviously not the right position for a guy who is simply not a very good tackler. |  |

Gylfi is a far better and more mature player in his position then Shelvey.
And
The partnership with Shelvey and Ki on the central midfield has worked perfectly so far. Why fucck it up?. |  | | |

How dare you disagree with me
Stop slagging me off
How much money do you earn
Your a c@@t
I've sent you a pm
I'm off to another forum .
Sorry I just caught PS itus .
Shelvey ability to drift past players is his better quality let's say .
As you rightly stated he's been the whipping boy this season to much as a point they look for every mistake and every time he tries to something that doesn't come off the haters & slaters vent .
Shame really . |  |

agreed,
Siggy has been consistent for us and then when hes out of position as in Blackburn he loses it aswell as jjs who likes to play AM aswell.
there is always play the way Barca do sometimes ie without a striker.
that's something we've never done, is it?
I don't mean when one gets sent off |  | | |

Great point, I've never considered it from that viewpoint.
JJS has an enormous amount of work to do to put aside the bad boy his image and liability he has been since his arrival, we've all seen him hit 40 yard ball on to the toe of someone and then, it's not red mist, he just simply loses the plot. However, for him to achieve all this he simply has to be given game time and nobody can base their views purely on the last game. Will GM be able/willing to do this, I have my doubts. |  |

Its got to be SIggy. His set pieces are better. His shooting is same as Shelvey (Compare his Blackburn goal to Shelvery's Soton goal). He is much better defensively - in our attacking mid field role - his stats say he has covered 13km in a number of games - which is most for all our players. He then has 6 or 7 assists already this season.
Shelvey looks over weight and doesn't seem quick and agile enough for defensive midfield role. Fulton seemed so much faster and dynamic. Because it looks like he could do with losing some pounds - extra weight appears to be causing him to get knackered out in 2nd half. If he lost that weight then think he would be much sharper and last longer in games.
Shelvey is definitely our best option in attacking midfield role until SIggy comes back - but then in my view should replace Siggy about 65-70 minute in games. Really think with Ki, Cork, Carroll and Fulton - we don't need him in defensive midfield role - going forward. | | | |

What a great choice for a manager to have with two top goal scoring winners in their side. Rotate I say. Keep em both hungry and on top of their game. I am a fan of both. |  |

I'm still struggling with this Shelvey offers us something in defence argument. |
Yet in the programme q and a sessions he is consistently listed as best and hardest tackler by his peers? | | | |

We are losing Montero then though and Villarreal is an example of what can happen when we mess about with a formation that we have utilised for years. I am not against trying it but I just cant see it working. | | | |

Ultimately yes. Thats the idea. Running about like a headless chicken is great but it is about winning the ball back bottom line | | | |

nice
have seen Siggy on the wing a few times
Ledley plays there to good effect
makes way for Siggy, Shelvey and Gomis to join the attack easily with Montero providing the ammo |  | | |

I'd pick positional sense, being able to read the game and being able to pass to a teammate being more desirable attributes at the top level for a defender personally. There's a reason Bartley isn't in our starting XI as well, friend. | |

No worries!
This is now the 3rd time this week I've seen it proposed that we go with 5 midfielders and no wingers. This thread, ESPN's Swansea blog, and in another blog at theswanseaway.co.uk
Interesting...doesn't really make sense IMO though until Siggy comes back. | |

yes only with siggy back but as i said our wide players have hardly been beating full backs and getting great crosses in have they? so worth giving it a try at home | | | |
| Shelvey or Sigurddson as CAM...... on 21:58 - Feb 3 with 1276 views | jack247 |
Sigurdsson, but there isn't that much in it for me.
Both can play the defence splitting pass, both can shoot, although Siggy is more consistent. Shelvey can smash it in the top corner or balloon it miles over. Siggy works a lot harder off the ball and just looks naturally fitter. Shelvey is better at retaining possession in tight situations. Shelvey is better at driving forward with the ball.
I wouldn't be that disappointed to see Siggy start but Shelvey come on for the last half hour. | | | |

Play them both in a four man midfield as we only have one fit winger plus a centre forward. | |

Hmm...
Sigurdsson
4 goals, 8 assists
Shelvey
2 goals, 1 assists |
But how many times has Shelvey played as AM compared to Gylfi? I think AM makes the most of his abilities and doesn't show up his weaknesses as much. |  | | |
