How would they do this when they have seconds to make a decision either to carry on or replace him to avoid playing with a man down?Did they run some diagnostics on him? They go by his word and nothing else. He tells them whether he is too sore to carry.
Thats exactly the point I'm making. You said he would have gone off with the Physio's advice. The physio can only advise on what Shaw tells him and if Shaw's being a wimp he's going to say whatever gets him substituted.How would they do this when they have seconds to make a decision either to carry on or replace him to avoid playing with a man down?
They even mentioned on Sky during the Manchester Derby that the likes of Liverpool and City could be interested in him.I can just see Mourinho forcing him out of the club, & ending up at one of our rivals as one of the leagues best left backs. I am sure Guardiola & Klopp would be interested.
What if City offered £100m for Rooney?Can't sell any player to Liverpool/City under any circumstances.
Now you've just gone and made things awkward.What if City offered £100m for Rooney?
We've gone from prasing his bravery in coming back from a leg break to suggesting he could be a wimp.Thats exactly the point I'm making. You said he would have gone off with the Physio's advice.

The only city stupid enough to offer that kind of money for Rooney is Shanghai city.What if City offered £100m for Rooney?
It did look like it from Rooney.Yea Jose brainwashed me into seeing things.
Or, you know, that's just how it looked.
I shouldn't laugh but my godDid anybody notice what the physios been testing out with him? As in, knee, thigh, shin? Was it some muscle problem, some twist, impact injury? It was weird as feck.
Maybe he was just tired because he's fat and he needed to sit.lol
But with a clause exempting Fellaini?They even mentioned on Sky during the Manchester Derby that the likes of Liverpool and City could be interested in him.
I'm all in favour of leaving footballing decisions to the manager and not having chief execs, board members etc involved. However if for some insane reason Mourinho was happy to sell Shaw to one of those two then the club have to step in and not sanction it. Can't sell any player to Liverpool/City under any circumstances.
The medical advice being administered by the physio here is both precautionary and reflective of the patient's own (player here) sentiment. If it's a knock that he can run off, there's no avowed doctor that would reasonably tell him to push on til he worsens it. And without a scan (like what @Pexbo) is hinting at, you're unlikely to see any significant damage to diagnose. So it leaves a lot to the player to decide honestly. Look at the number of critics going on about assessing concussions and not letting the player decide if he can continue.Diagnostics?
What like plug him into a machine and see what it reckons is up?
Wow. We've actually reached the point where we actually think players are faking injuries just to avoid playing Swansea at home.Thats exactly the point I'm making. You said he would have gone off with the Physio's advice. The physio can only advise on what Shaw tells him and if Shaw's being a wimp he's going to say whatever gets him substituted.
If he would ever consider joining Liverpool then feck the cnut. We don't want him.I can just see Mourinho forcing him out of the club, & ending up at one of our rivals as one of the leagues best left backs. I am sure Guardiola & Klopp would be interested.
Don't think he is saying Shaw is faking an injury. It's that he gave up too quickly and didn't try to play through the pain.Wow. We've actually reached the point where we actually think players are faking injuries just to avoid playing Swansea at home.

Id bite their hand offWhat if City offered £100k for Rooney?
It's hardly surprising when all they do is cry off.Whilst I don't believe in Jose saying it, it was pretty damning on Smalling, Jones and Shaw. Basically he's calling them fake and spineless. He openly thanked Mata for his commitment in returning so soon. Honestly, I can't see any future for those 3 players at Utd...
I mean, yeah. Rooney has 100+ caps for his country and 300+ career goal but because of this he isn't allowed a drink, feck me.Our english contingent are embarrassing. These 3 made of glass, Rooney boozing. At least Rashford offers hope
Sounds very sarcastic in my opinion, almost as if Mourinho is having a little pop at him. However, after praising the man having played with cramps, I'm sure the criticism (if any) will be necessary and fair.Sounds like Jose laying it down to him in his post match interview. "Must be a very bad injury to come off after a few minutes", said in a certain way. Sounds like another challenge to me.
Silly post, wouldn't happen. Heinze was borderline castrated when he demanded a move to Liverpool.I can just see Mourinho forcing him out of the club, & ending up at one of our rivals as one of the leagues best left backs. I am sure Guardiola & Klopp would be interested.
Didn't Sir Alex once say Saha's injuries were more in his head than physical? Some people just react to things differently, some feel a twinge and can't play and others would need to be dragged off the pitch. Mouinrho wants more of the latter.I find it odd how many people sympathize with Mourinho regarding the Shaw situation. Since when did we start believing that players are faking injuries or exaggerating them?
So instead of believing the manager, the one man who actually knows what's going on at the club, we should immediately assume he's a liar and lay in to him?I find it odd how many people sympathize with Mourinho regarding the Shaw situation.

Off course. Half the forum detest the man and every word he comes out with has to be analysed.So instead of believing the manager, the one man who actually knows what's going on at the club, we should immediately assume he's a liar and lay in to him?
