Would love a player like him in our team! Because he comes across as a bellend and an idiot? Even ignoring the racism issues (because I didn't follow the story close enough to pass comment), he regularly goes into challenges with the intention of injuring his opponent (elbows, off-the-ball stamps and the like) and never seems to get punished for it. He's pretty good at kicking a football though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Shelley looked dangerous every time he had the ball around our area and in their half too. He managed 8 shots during the game closely followed by Fletchers 6 shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thought Westwood saved it, pulled the crossbar down the ball hit it. Genius :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 It would have been grossly unfair if it had gone in, we'd had three clear chance s and they'd had none. Anyway, Westwood had it covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last_Great_Hope Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Dad was unhappy that our midfielders weren't getting "in this face". I replied that if they commit themselves to tackle him, he will just go past them like they aren't there - exactly what happened to Jones just before the shot. Best midfielder in the League? I'd say so. Its either him or Mooy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why Liverpool snapped him up as a teenager. Do wonder if his attitude will ultimately let him down as he should be playing in the Prem really. Got loads of talent. Very few players - at any level - who have the ability to hit a shot like he did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 It's well and good to say Westwood had it covered. But it was shall we say suboptimal to have the keeper tangled up in the net as the ball rebounds into a penalty area with a footrace on between players of both sides to get there. Just shows how fine the margins are. One down at half time having outplayed them. Who knows? We might have gone down to a 0-3. We didn't. But worth remembering because sometimes the breaks go the other way - the litany of near misses against Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 no it's hit and hope either way if the keeper is off the line it's worth a go but from that distance you hit and hope it goes in , he tookthe option to have a go and well done fior that , it was a great effort and well done for that , but over that distance that's where the hit and hope comes in,but i digress i ain't making an argument out of it , ive done it myself a few times as a player , and i know how it feels you hit it and you hope , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
