No one is comparing Shelvey with Alberto. I was saying that in this current campaign Shelvey would have played more games than Alberto. You cannot argue with it. Albero may as well be a cardboard cut out on the bench, because he ain't coming on. Shelvey was starting in the league against United and Chelsea. So whatever you may believe about Rodgers' thoughts on Shelvey it's fairly fucking obvious that he rated him to a degree.
Alberto got 5 minutes away at Bournemouth in the FA cup and didn't make our squad yesterday.
It's not about the players being compared, Alberto may be ok, but Shelvey would have added something to our squad this season. It's at least a body, Alberto doesn't get a sniff. Rodgers appeared to trust Shelvey, i don't get that impression with Alberto.
