In several opportunities he ran down Theo Walcott (yeah I typed that correctly), and looked comfortable at the left back, which is a great need in our current team. Could we depend on a Kelly, Skrtel, Carrager, Robinson back line for the future? I would like a slightly better center back but the defensive future looks bright with Flanny, Kelly, and Robinson. All three have looked young at worst and stout at best.waldonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-19911521337744465572011-04-17T18:47:40.534-04:002011-04-17T18:47:40.534-04:00@Anonymous:

It's a small sample size, but I've been more impressed with all three defenders, as well as Spearing of late. I'm hesitant to criticize any player so young, but I agree, he just seems "slow" (in both play and decision-making) too often. His range of passing is very good when he picks the right option, he gets in good attacking positions (see his tenacious role in the run-up to Lucas winning the late free kick), and he's certainly not lacking in confidence.<br /><br />There has to be a reason he's gotten so many substitute opportunities from both Hodgson (regardless of Roy's other faults...) and Dalglish while Pacheco went out on loan to Norwich, and it's not just the nationality on his passport. I assume there's more I'm missing.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-64107371147050441182011-04-17T16:51:48.137-04:002011-04-17T16:51:48.137-04:00That was something to see.

As impressed as I've been with youngsters like Kelly, Flanagan, Robinson...Shelvey looks out of place whenever he comes on. He just looks very stiff and doesn't remind me of any of other attacking midfielder I've ever seen in his movements, pace, decisions. I know hes very young and I don't know much about him.

When you consider the first half, the teenage fullbacks whose jobs were to defend Samir Nasri and Theo Walcott--amazing.mardianoreply@blogger.com
