Love him

been thinking that kenny always mentions shelvey, i really like shelvey think he is a future star

sorry why do we have to love him or hate him? surley we can find a middle ground. for me his a good squad player but would like to see someone better in that position

He is a very limited player and I cannot see him surviving in the starting line up when Gerrard and Meireles and a few more wingers brought in, I just can't see him starting, not creative enough and we need someone that is very creative alongside him or lucas, one of them have to be off the field next season or maybe both.

He's come on loads lately, perfect squad player.

I won't lie I was one of the fans that didn't hold him high in regard to be honest, untill this run is the first team his only game of note I can honestly remember was when he came on as sub when we played Real madrid at Anfield.

But due respect to the lad he has been nothing short of brilliant and him and Lucas have formed a great partnership.
I am glad he has signed a new deal as he will be part of teh future Liverpool team as he has proved he can step uop to the mark when counted on.

Kenny mentions Shelvey about as much as Rafa mentioned Lucas. Interesting, no?

I think that Spearing is the epitome of a Liverpool squad player; reliable, robust, gives his all, never gives up. How can you not love that?

Ye i like him, works hard for the team and he is improving and rewarding Kennys faith... although he's not a scouser lol. He's from the wirral but i can understand why someone other than a scouser would think that.

i think we are underselling jay a little bit because against fulham his passing was actually very, very good and he reads the game brilliantly and he has an alright shot on him. he has become more than a hard working player without a football brain

He's certainly played as if he is for the second part of the season and his form will no doubt give a very welcome headache to Kenny Daglish once the likes of Steven Gerrard, Raul Merieles and Aqualani (if he's not sold of coyrse) are available for selection

With Lucas Levia beginning to show the sort of form some of us suspected he wasn't capable of, Jonjo Shelvey coming into contention and the likely purchase of Charlie Adam, I don't think anyone (steven gerrard apart) is guaranteed a starting midfield place in our first 11

All he can do is to keep playing like he had been doing

Also he's not a born and bred scouser - he's from the Wirral - which is on the other side of the Mersey in Cheshire
