Former Nottingham Forest manager Paul Hart feels Jonjo Shelvey should retain his place in the Reds' midfield, but changes need to be made around him.
Shelvey has come in for criticism for his performances since moving from Newcastle United in January with Forest failing to win any of the five games he has started.
Questions have been raised against the 31-year-old's defensive qualities with Shelvey conceding a penalty against Everton and being involved in two Tottenham goals. Shelvey was paired with Ryan Yates in a midfield two in the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle and Hart feels he is better suited by playing with a defensive midfielder behind him and Ryan Yates.
