Newcastle United’s Jonjo Shelvey was frustrated at being taken off in his side’s last match.

Some Newcastle United fans feel that Jonjo Shelvey’s time at St. James’ Park is up, after his latest show of indiscipline.

Shelvey was substituted off during Newcastle’s last match against Swansea City, and he was clearly not happy to be withdrawn.

The midfielder did not shake Rafael Benitez’s hand, such was his frustration at being taken off.

Shelvey has since apologised for his actions, but some Newcastle fans feel that the writing is on the wall for the midfielder at St. James’ Park.

Shelvey has played a key role for Newcastle this season, but his fiery temperament has got him into trouble.

Shelvey has been sent off twice this term, with his lack of discipline coming into question.

Benitez has aways backed Shelvey publicly, and even played down the former Swansea man’s actions at the weekend, but he is a manager who always demands respect.

Whether Shelvey will start in Newcastle’s next match, which comes against Manchester City on Saturday, remains to be seen.
