Khiry Shelton [Forward]

Khiry Shelton - 2015/16 season
-3 Starts
-213 Minutes
-1 Goal
-1 Assist
-Goal/Assist every 106.5 minutes

Also:
Total career MLS minutes: 1036
Age: 22

Thats pretty good considering he plays on the wing, also consider that playing at yankee stadium is more difficult for a player like him as there is not much space to run into. No coincidence that he had his best game when we were playing on a bigger pitch.

Also he tracks back and does alot of defending as well and against New England it showed just how important this is.
PV clearly likes him and sees potential in him and after what he said about the wingers not tracking back in the last match I don't see him not starting anytime soon.

You mean his brick feet aren't useful?

Also, your signature still contains reference to the man known as "Jacobson." Not sure if you wanted to get the point across that you still would rather be a man down than have Jacobson play. Or his ghost still haunts you more than Khiry's touch.

Send him down to Wilmington to work on his skills. Get his first touch and feet ready so he won't fuck up all the time in matches that matter.

1. Is there really lead in your foot?
2. Do you use a flatiron?
3. Are your Team Messi boots the only pair designed with a steel toe?

his runs off the ball were just awful, for a guy that's said to be speedy, he simply couldn't catch up to a lot of balls

He rarely runs to open space until after the ball is sent there.
Worse, it seems to me he always hesitates just enough so that by the time he gets the ball either it's in a bad position or a defender had time to reach the ball at about the same time. This is a recent development from the last 4-5 games or so, and I could just be guilty of unfair mind-reading here, but I think he's sabotaging himself so he won't be criticized for not doing something effective when he gets the ball alone in good position. It definitely seems he is afraid of getting the ball alone in the box where he will have to do something positive with it.

His reaction time to passes is horrendous..... because he truly is reacting instead of being proactive and seeing the pass either before it happens or as it's happening. Contrast that with the Cosmos last night and they had guys making runs into space before the pass was made because it was obvious that the safe play was always to space. It's like he slept through the course Through-ball Passing 101.

I don't know. I just noticed that he's wearing the Ace 16. Could be just because he's in training but I don't imagine he'd wear a different boot for training.

Certainly could be though!
 
Per Snapchats from Khiry and Mikey, it looks like Khiry finally got a haircut and got that raccoon off his head. Now he can be the 2nd SuperDraft pick he's supposed to be.
