a reason soutgate didnt pick shelvey for me is simple
under pressure and tracking back shelvey doesnt do it
pinging a ball 30-40 yards there arent many better in england

but more teams play the pressing game and i just cant see his long balls working like that

the further he drops to pick the ball up the further up the field the opposition can press

under pressure he snaps

and we wont win a world cup or games with 10 on the field at this level
