Thank you! We need to try and get rid of TMac before the end of the season and I’ll be ecstatic.

Shelton was never the same after his break-up with Mix.

I have to take a moment to give him credit for one of my all time favorite moments with this team.

2016 - NYC host DC United. NYC is down 1-0 when Shelton comes off the bench. First, he harasses a DC player into a bad back pass that goes straight to Villa, who equalizes. Then, in the 85th minute, Shelton hustles to a ball on the end line and crosses it back to Lampard, who finishes. However, in stoppage time, DC United were able to equalize off a corner. But, a minute later, Shelton gets the ball on the wing, brings it forward, and slots a perfect pass to Lampard in the box, and he knocks home the winner. It was a thrilling game, and Shelton had a hand in all 3 goals.

I think it was those moments that ultimately made him so frustrating for people, because they showed how good he should be if he could develop any consistency.

This does that night much better. Only time I've seen people in Pitchside run over to celebrate with players.

One more original gone. We are left with just Villa and TMac right?

Not for me. Blind squirrel theory is a better explanation for anything good out of him.

People were frustrated with him because he kept getting played even though it was pretty predictable he wasn't going to do a damn thing unless he accidentally peter-bumped one across box.

Stated more positively: Only one more original to go to be cleansed of the Kreis crap.

So a momentary fissure in the time-space continuum like Frank?
