Interesting take on Liverpool's problems and the Liverpool Supporting journo's take on Shelvey and Henderson at the "yet this performance" paragraph. They did not replace Alonso, Mascherano or Mereiles with similar quality?

Jonjo did well at Blackpool, back at CAFC perhaps next season on loan?

still only a young lad what do they expect

Steven Gerrard was intentionally played as a second striker for some time behind Torres so blaming that on either Shelvey or Henderson is a bit baffling really.

It would probably help if between £55million, their two forwards could score 20 each a season., or in Carroll's case a realistic target, like say half a dozen.

Shelvey on season long loan would be best signing of the summer!

Liverpool's problem is that SG is cack and can't pass to a red shirt.

Oggy Red

Or won't pass, more like it.

Donvito

Not really!! He spent most of his time here on the bench!! I think he is a little overrated, average - good at best to be honest!

killer kish

Wouldn't want Shelvey back on loan next season not even a months loan! I think he is overrated and we got a great deal for him end of story.

I agree with Kish, vastly overated, too slow and ponderous in midfield.

That article says a lot about the problems in English football. Too many teams are signing young players and then rathet than working with them to get them up to the right technical level and standard of fitness they are chucked in at the deep end. Some sink, some swim. I hope Jonjo makes it, but perhaps a move to a decent attacking upper CCC side would be the best move.

I also don't see Shelvey in our future plans. Good passer of the ball but can't tackle, can't head, too slow and all one footed.

eaststandmike

I am in the "don't want him back" camp and he looks out of his depth playing for Liverpool at the moment

Deadred

Don't need him. Anyway Dale ( I'm your latest scapegoat) Stephens is better!

Henry Irving

We seem to be getting very fussy for a team that will just have been promoted from League 1.

Did well in the Championship for Blackpool and will be maturing month on month.

Whether a season long loan is what we should be looking at (for any player) is a different question but I find it hard to see why he is being dismissed so quickly.

iaitch

Got to agree with legaladdick points above.

Never liked the way he used to swagger off whenever he was subbed.

Also saw an interview last season when he was selected by LIverpool for a Europa Cup game and he comes out with 'I was born to play football at this level'......pretentious tosser.

falconwood_1

Nah, I don't want any two-footed passing midfield players in our team.

Is he tall enough etc etc

paulbaconsarnie

well shelvey and/or henderson are somehow keeping maxi rodriguez on the liverpool bench. perhaps we can get him.
at least king kenny is breaking some long-standing liverpool records this season. the only thing that would make it more pleasing is if he were to take over scotland on a part time basis.

Richard J

Liverpool will be in the Europa League next year , so I suspect he will feature regularly in that competition and would not be available to come on loan until the January window.
