Jonjo Shelvey hits back at critics

Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has branded those who have criticised his recent performances on Twitter as "keyboard warriors".

The England international is believed to have received a large amount of negative messages on the social networking site following his display on Monday against West Bromwich Albion.

Using the same site, the 20-year-old responded by saying: "Love people giving me stick .. When half of people on here haven't got a clue what they're on about. #welldone #keyboardwarriors."
