I’ll wait. . .He is such an average footballer. I was looking at Lodi, when did shaw ever put a performance like that in a big game.

I think we will have to wait longer than Arsenal winning the CL ever again.I’ll wait. . .
Agreed. He’s lucky we have so many other priority positions to fix in the squad otherwise we’d be looking for a left back.Playing his way out of the club the way things are going.
Give it a rest.He is so shite. Terrible footballer.
Didn't really get forward once, not a good performance at all, but Telles was playing against a tired team, but did look good.Very meh performance. Telles cameo is much better. Atletico is very conservative on their right side because their left flank is better in attack. There is more space, but Shaw doesn't try run with the ball at all. Even Maguire dribbled Ateltico lines in the first half on one occasion. Put a bit pressure there, and we can break Atletico tactical chokehold.
Shaw is a big disappointment for this game. Of course not the worst out of the bad bunch. Rashford took the cake today.
No he's not.He is so shite. Terrible footballer.
He really is an awful footballer hopefully the last we see of him for a good long while.
Telles offers so much more.
Hardly an awful/terrible footballer. He's clearly a very good footballer but is just not showing it this season as his head and/or fitness is holding him back from being the player he can beHe is so shite. Terrible footballer.
Hold on. You’re making excuses for this guy ‘He’s not fit’ but are piping up in the Pogba thread despite Pogba coming off a far longer injury. . . Laughable.No he's not.
He's not fit. He's probably not got the right mentality.
But he is talented. Physically and technically.
It's a criticism of him not an excuse.Hold on. You’re making excuses for this guy ‘He’s not fit’ but are piping up in the Pogba thread despite Pogba coming off a far longer injury. . . Laughable.
He has been every bit a waste of money as your prime target. He has been shite more so than not over the course of his United career so don’t excuse this down to fitness, he was never as good as people tried to force on others.It's a criticism of him not an excuse.
He's not fit out of choice. He's overweight. A joke.
Your Pogba angst has got you all confised.
What are you on about? I'm criticising Shaw for his fitness. Not excusing him. I also said his mentality isn't right.He has been every bit a waste of money as your prime target.

The initial post you responded to called him a ‘terrible footballer’, you replied he is not then blamed his poor fitness. So you don’t think Shaw is a ‘terrible player’ but are rather vocal in other threads with far more accomplished players, I find that a little ridiculous. This isn’t just a mentality/fitness issue, it’s an overall ability issue.What are you on about? I'm criticising Shaw for his fitness. Not excusing him. I also said his mentality isn't right.
How has me criticising Shaw in the Shaw thread been conflated with me excusing him and treating Pogba unfairly?
You've lost me on this one I'm afraid.
Yes I said Shaw's not a terrible footballer. I don't believe I've called any of the other players terrible either. Dalot....maybe.The initial post you responded to called him a ‘terrible footballer’, you replied he is not then blamed his poor fitness.

I think the form leading up to his injury was really good, long time ago now! He was good last season and he does have ability, jsut think back to how good he looked at SOUthampton (again long ago).Guess I’ll ask again. How good was he really last season? I kept getting best in league, best in the world but what did he excel at? I’ve never seen it with this guy, he’s one of the biggest issues in my eyes. His form is so sporadic.
It’s probably the fact you find it acceptable to happily criticise one of the most talented footballers of his generation but get all touchy about a bog standard left back.Yes I said Shaw's not a terrible footballer. I don't believe I've called any of the other players terrible either. Dalot....maybe.
How on earth have you brought Pogba into this over such a minor comment? A comment I think lots would agree with.
The problem I think is that you and a handful of others have this huge Pogba victimisation complex. In the Pogba thread go at it. Whatever.
But now you're bringing it into other players threads. It's getting silly.
If you want to discuss Shaw here I'm happy to carry on.
Funny you mention a victimisation complex whilst acting like you’re being victimised. I’m calling you out on the double standard, Pogba was an example as I checked your recent posts & you’d been in his thread criticising him post match with rather stupid claims then got precious because our prized left back was being called out.Yes I said Shaw's not a terrible footballer. I don't believe I've called any of the other players terrible either. Dalot....maybe.

I've just heavily criticised Shaw. I just called him "a joke." Have a look.It’s probably the fact you find it acceptable to happily criticise one of the most talented footballers of his generation but get all touchy about a bog standard left back.
People just want answers.
That’s all I was after. The same criticism he chooses to level at one player could be used on another. To hold Shaw in such esteem yet criticise other far more accomplished players doesn’t quite make sense to me.It’s probably the fact you find it acceptable to happily criticise one of the most talented footballers of his generation but get all touchy about a bog standard left back.

I said this & had some poster bashing at their keyboard swearing he’d played well for multiple seasons. When you consider the outlay & expectancy he’s bested by only Maguire for me in terms of how underwhelming they have been.He’s had 1 and a bit of good seasons. The LVG season where you could see the promise until the horrific leg break and last season, that’s it. He’s a senior player now and just doesn’t seem bothered.
