Hope Jonjo doesn't start v Chelsea or SpudsShelvey hits out at 'keyboard warriors' after Twitter abuse
The midfielder struggled to assert himself against West Brom on Monday, as the Baggies stunned Anfield with a 2-0 win, and received abuse from followers online after the game
Jonjo Shelvey has hit out at fans who criticised his performance during Liverpool ‘s 2-0 Premier League defeat to West Brom on Twitter.
In what was Shelvey's first start for the club since the Boxing Day defeat to Stoke City, the midfielder struggled to assert himself and was eventually substituted after an hour.
And after the game Shelvey took to Twitter to slam the critical "keyboard warriors", tweeting: "Love people giving me stick... when half of the people on here haven't got a clue what they're on about."
The post has subsequently been deleted.
Daniel Agger, meanwhile, took a different approach on the social networking site by admitting that he had under-performed.
Agger was partially responsible for West Brom's opener shock opener after failing to track the run of Gareth McAuley at a set-piece, allowing the Northern Irish defender to head home.
The Denmark international tweeted after the game: "I agree with most of you, my performance in the last 10 minutes was NOT good enough."
He won't.
Hopefully he won't for a long time either.
“I was lucky because I was physically very quick. Everybody could see that. It was obvious. So straightaway people could say: ‘Thierry Henry – he’s quick.’
“It is not so easy to see inside a player’s mind. Jamie’s mind was very, very quick. In some ways that is an unfortunate quality to have because it is not an obvious quality. It takes a while for people to see it. But when you are there on the pitch competing against someone with a quick mind, you know about it.
“Defenders don’t always get the recognition they deserve for keeping a clean sheet… The way I saw it, especially with Jamie, is that when I was at my best and he was at his best, neither player would win and it would be up to someone else to either win or lose the match.”
Nice of him. And probably true, tbf, he does read the game very well. Not that it'd be admitted here.
Unfortunately the only thing I think of when facing Henry is that 4-2 game. Still, it's no disgrace to be outclassed by Henry...
Liverpool got a bargain, tbh
