Best in our squad?Best player on the pitch for me. His touch is unbelievable.

Andy Robertson.Yes, who's better? He bosses the left side of the pitch game after game, no matter who we come up against. Even takes excellent set-pieces.
How exactly, 1 assist in the league, constantly caught out of posistion, no assits last season.
He is a shocking player at both attacking and defending.
This isn't a windup either, He is a major weak link in the team.
He should have had two assists from the last two matches. Against Burnley, it was a travesty that Maguire's goal did not stand. Against Liverpool, only a poor finish from Bruno robbed Shaw from another assist. He gets himself into good positions, and now his delivery seems improved.You clearly do not understand football and the role of a defender.
Can you name me 1 game where Luke Shaw was consistently beaten by his man or looked shaky in defence?
Major weak link means he is a bad defender right?
People need to stop with agendas with players, instead you might feel better if you back them.

Defensively, I think he awards his opponents too much space, which means that there are two many crosses into the box coming from his side. Not so against Liverpool, but generally speaking that is an issue with him.
If you can watch him completely shutting down Salah (and Mane when he moved over) for the whole game and still come to that conclusion then I genuinely believe the only problem here is you having brain damage.How exactly, 1 assist in the league, constantly caught out of posistion, no assits last season.

It wont mean shit all if they cant defend like Shaw first in my opinion.A right back with similar ability on the ball would completely change the way we can play out from the back.

Definitely. But I don’t think we’re a club that should be settling for one or the other. The technical deficiencies in AWB’s are so big on the ball, that I’m sceptical we will get him to a point where he’s not an obvious weak link. It’s a big concern for £50 million.It wont mean shit all if they cant defend like Shaw first in my opinion.
That's why Ole bought Wan Bissaka.
A good defensive RB isnt exactly easy to find in the modern game when a team like Liverpool's main attack is not coming centrally but from out wide through inverted wingers & even attacking fullbacks that attack the fullbacks or their spaces predominantly.
Wan Bissaka will improve with an experienced RB like Trippier mentoring him and providing him some competition or rotation too like Telles did to Shaw.
He was awesome yesterday, absolutely pocketed Salah and locked down that left side.I’ve been a critic of Shaw in the past but this is very impressive from him long may it continue.

For me it's easy to mistake Wan Bissaka looking like Lukaku's first touch because he is sometimes anxious at what he does, things like this & his positioning needs to improve his forward passing (which isnt bad, is quite accurate), but get in to the right forward areas so he can track the right channel back etc will be learn with the RB version of Telles. It makes sense why Ole wanted trippier over someone like Aaron's who is more pure direct young competition.Definitely. But I don’t think we’re a club that should be settling for one or the other.

Shaw for all his faults after the leg break, never had a technique problem. It seemed that concentration/motivation was holding him back, both LvG and Jose knew that, so it’s logical that competition would push him on.
Far from being our weakest player in the team. I'd go so far as to say that he has consistently been the most improved player this season in the squad. I'd put him above awb atm. He's become one of our better and more important players. He's no weak link in the team, that much should be for sure.Can he improve? Yes.
To call him the weakest player in our team? a stretch don't you think?
I agree, just seems to be an agenda against certain players.Far from being our weakest player in the team.

I agree with this and I have him on 6.6 so far this season but would say 7.4 is a bit high as he could be accused of poor positioning and jogging back etc earlier in the season but I do think the signing of Telles has really focused him and improved these weaknesses.A performance per usual from Luke, magnificent. Seems to enjoy playing and plays with such confidence and calmness it almost luke unnerving, but he's just that good.
I have him at 7.4 rating thus far this year, which i feel is much more fair than the 5.8 the caf rates him at. We're top of the league and has probably been our best player so far.

So does this mean he's having a world class season? Some of his displays lately have been Evraesque, dominating his flank in defense and attack.Tweet

He isn't a fans favourite that's why. He has been one of our best players, he gets injured and takes a few games to get fit.Whats everyone smoking. He was poty what 2 years back? Last year he was one of the better players and this year as well. Hes been consistently good for years. I keep reading most improved player etc. What? His only problem is that he gets compared to Trent and Robertson. Apart from them who's better? Not many.
