One of the best first touches in world football, it is honestly beautiful to watch.
Well however it all came together, we can all be delighted with this version of Shaw.Genuinely. I agreed he stalled somewhat during that time, but now that period is over, its like absolutely nothing phases him. The bloke is the complete LB. Not just physically, tactically and technically, but mentally he is top drawer, and I believe the difficult period he had with Jose helped that.
What a pass. He is such a complete player.
Oh yeah, I’m not advocating it. We can’t even get Pogba in our midfield, I doubt he’s going to stick our left back there.He would be good in midfield no doubt. His touch and control is class.
But I'd think you'd lose a lot by moving him.
Rose looked very good going forward so I think that was a fair opinion. Just so happy for Shaw that it's all come together for him. As premier league footballers go, he hasn't had it easy.Well however it all came together, we can all be delighted with this version of Shaw.
I must admit I was certainly in the gang who considered Danny Rose a viable alternative.
Hindsight makes that look insane, but at the time Rose had been quality.
We don't play Pogba in the midfield because of his defensive liabilities though. That shouldn't be a problem with Shaw.Oh yeah, I’m not advocating it. We can’t even get Pogba in our midfield, I doubt he’s going to stick our left back there.
I loved that.What a pass. He is such a complete player.
Think I once said Brandon Williams was playing better than him, so it could be worseI am usually right about players who don't make it at United, but I've been so so wrong about Shaw.
Oh yeah I don't often write off United players but I had given up on Shaw as being capable of playing at the level he is showing now.I am usually right about players who don't make it at United, but I've been so so wrong about Shaw.
Yeah, I just sometimes wonder if that isn’t just some kind of bias. We get played through pretty often with Fred and McTominay in there, see the first half last night. If that happened with Pogba in the midfield, he’d been getting slaughtered.We don't play Pogba in the midfield because of his defensive liabilities though. That shouldn't be a problem with Shaw.
In saying that I'm not advocating it either.
Nah give them all the Summer off I say (as an Irishman)Yeah, I just sometimes wonder if that isn’t just some kind of bias. We get played through pretty often with Fred and McTominay in there, see the first half last night. If that happened with Pogba in the midfield, he’d been getting slaughtered.
Off topic anyway, as Shaw is fantastic. I really hope he gets rewarded with the left back slot at the Euros. I find it so dull watching England when there’s no United interest.
Don’t get me wrong, I feel the same way for friendlies etc. And actually, I wouldn’t be disappointed if Rashford missed the tournament. I just think it might give Shaw an even bigger boost to his confidence.Nah give them all the Summer off I say (as an Irishman)
I've always thought he was quite good technically, I felt he had other failings. Even so, I'm not sure I thought he was good enough to be smacking 40 yard outside of the boot passesI did always think he would eventually improve (people forget a lot of players still peak around 25-28) but I didn't expect him to be this good.
I actually thought he was playing quite poorly yesterday but he improved as the game went on. His first touch is sublime and his passing looks effortless sometimes. I honestly don't know where all this superb technical ability has come from
Talk about irony; in a parallel universe, Rojo means 'Raw' and you just hit the trifecta regarding our past forty-eight years (lunar calendar) of LB troubles.After years of players like Young, Rojo and Blind, we finally have our Evra replacement
I'm certainly guilty of that. Sadly it's probably not even the most stupid opinion I've had while posting here as a side note I don't think I've ever seen you so enamoured with a player.Imagine rating Brandon Williams above Luke Shaw. Shaw is Maldini reincarnated. Excellent going both ways, graceful and powerful. One of the most incredible footballers I may have ever seen I think. We are witnessing greatness happening in real time. A couple of league titles and a CL in the next 5 years and his legacy will be one that will be almost impossible to reach for future LBs here.
Haha, I can’t speak highly enough of him. He’s absolutely incredible. Even for those who like to nitpick and find weaknesses, it is very hard to find any. I don’t even see him as a ‘left-back’, he’s just a great footballer.I'm certainly guilty of that.

I enjoy his performances so much I completely forgot those painful years of Young at left-back.After years of players like Young, Rojo and Blind, we finally have our Evra replacement
I think we can too. The lad is so good.The way Luke Shaw is playing right now, I feel he can play as a number 6 similar to Lahm and Kimmich.
And let's flip that script: Look at how Shaw has thrived under Ole.Mourinho should’ve been sacked for his handling of Shaw alone.
How a so called top level manager could be so abysmal at getting the best out of a player when the talent is clearly there is beyond me.
Absolutely spot on. And Shaw isn’t the only one that Ole has improved!And let's flip that script: Look at how Shaw has thrived under Ole.
Eh? He’s a had his worst 45 mins for ages.fecking hell, a fullback shouldn't be that talented. At a walking pace and still a level above almost everyone on the ball.
Not really, he isn't trying much and still involved with ease in our 2 best moves of the game.Eh? He’s a had his worst 45 mins for ages.
Don’t get me wrong, love him, just an off bump if not being sarcastic?
