This axed star must return: Three things learned about Newcastle in clash v West Brom
Shelvey makes Magpies tick – must return
Whether rested or axed, Jonjo Shelvey was undoubtedly a huge miss in the Magpies’ midfield, and proved it when he came on in the second half.
His creativity and distribution in the centre of the pitch ensured that Newcastle kept the ball better, which in turn helped them fashion the chances they needed to snatch a point at the Hawthorns.
He can go missing in games but if he can find a way to always have an impact then he is a crucial asset to the side, and must return when Chelsea travel to the north east over the weekend.
