He was far better today than he was against Burnley, gets way too much praise for what he actually does though.
Agreed.He was far better today than he was against Burnley, gets way too much praise for what he actually does though.
I think Sanchez in front of him doesn't help at all with his attacking output, they just don't connect at all, with Martial he usually is a lot more involved in attacking play, but I do agree his attacking still have to be improvedThought it was one of his better games today, but he definitely needs to be more involved attacking wise. Defensively he is not half bad, there is a reason teams attack us all the time our right side so he doesn't have to do much defensive work, and that's probably because he is doing his job pretty well.
You get a suspension if you get 5 yellows before December 26th and a 2-match ban if you get 10 before March 30th. For your 15th yellow you get a 3-match ban.Is he going to be suspended soon? 8 yellow cards already.
He's a consistent left back that can actually defend. Why doesn't he deserve praise? He's been far and above my expectations for this season and we're lucky to have him considering the scarcity of good left backs in the world. Yes he's no Marcelo going forward but he's still decent whilst being a better defender than most.He was far better today than he was against Burnley, gets way too much praise for what he actually does though.
He definitely wasn't a Mourinho fan from what I read. The deluded poster who blindly supported Mourinho to the disastrous end was Haram.@el3mel a Mourinho fan? He'd been calling for Mourinho's sack ages before it actually happened...
Agreed. I wouldn't mind another LB in his early 20's to give another option on that spot, knowing that Ashley Young is nailed on to start on the right for another season at least.I thought he did well again, could do with signing someone to push him for his spot though.

Dalot and Young on RB, Shaw and New LB at the left side of defense. Enough with the CB who can play as full back type of signings.
Nah, he is no Mourinho fan. He is just too prone to hyperbole and is a bit of a chameleon.He’s a Mourinho fan not a United fan so it’s not surprising.
Thought Shaw was good today.
That's goes for pretty much the whole team. Our second halfs have been poor. It obvious the teams fitness levels are not up to the standards Ole wants. They were upto standard for José's tacticsShaw has played good in the first half of games then had really poor second half performances lately. Odd player and not one I'm entirely convinced will ever be good enough for a club looking to compete for the main trophies.
Mourinho out.Well I guess it'd be pointless to call for his sack after it happened
Out of where ?Mourinho out.

Guess I was just wound up by people immediately jumping on the guy after each game and read your post in that light.One cross in 90 minutes is offering next to nothing in attack, so ok then, I could have added a couple of extra words in but it seems like you're trying to pick a petty argument, I've praised Shaw defensively after most games, but his offensive contribution is largely poor, there's nothing hyperbolic about it, I'm not even one of those desperate for us to sign a new LB in the summer, I just think he is what he is, a limited fullback who functions well enough due to the 2 players ahead of him on his side needing more defensive cover than attacking help.
I think that is harsh to say. Luke attempted a lot of sprints yesterday, dare I say more than what he usually does.Did well but his lack of fitness is still holding him back. Conserving energy is affecting the amount of attacking runs he makes and defensively makes cheap fouls when he's struggling to stick the pace
The lack of offensive output was Sanchez's fault. He kept drifting inward and didn't link up with Shaw. Martial and Shaw are a much better pairing like you say because Martial stays wider and has an understanding with Shaw.A little more attacking output please, but overall a good performance.
The more he and Martial play together, the better. That familiarity will breed common understanding and greater interplay. As a consequence that should give Shaw the chance to get into more attacking positions
If he stays fit (which he is largely doing), we don't have to worry about the LB position anytime soon.
Oh I see. Thanks for thatYou get a suspension if you get 5 yellows before December 26th and a 2-match ban if you get 10 before March 30th. For your 15th yellow you get a 3-match ban.
United is the only team in the league that has gotten a yellow card every match.
People's expectations for full-backs have probably changed in the last decade due to the likes of Dani Alves, Marcelo, Alonso, Alba etc. and even Baines, Coleman racking up goals and assists. Shaw's best asset is his defending though, so we should probably be comparing him to the likes of Ashley Cole rather than those wing-backs who can hardly defend. Having said have just looked at his stats; he's had some interrupted seasons here but he's never managed more than a single assist in a season, so maybe we should expect just a little more - Evra for example used to get about 3/4 assists a season. To be fair to him it's probably that if Rashford/Lukaku were more clinical this season he would be on 3/4 assists.What kind of numbers do people expect a full back to put up?
I might not agree with his extreme views on Shaw, but @el3mel is definitely not a Mourinho fan.He’s a Mourinho fan not a United fan so it’s not surprising.
