Missed Licha today and missed Shaw second half. They are two of our top five most important players.
That’s a skewed metric.
What's the average without that long lay off due to a leg break?
We need another, yes. We won’t find better than him so he should stay and compete for his place when fit. The drop off when he’s out is horrible. And yes, he is out too much.
What was the precaution for?
14/15: 21 games missed
Yeah, it would be dire missing both.
It's a real shame because if you look at the bolded seasons, they were his best
That's insane. I love him but yeh, need to be looking at getting someone in that is actually consistently available.
Yeah, I’ve always liked Shaw. One of our best players post Fergie Imo but it’s clear his body is starting to fail him. Should start looking at a long term left back from the summer.
That’s good. what was said?

Calm down lad, I agree with you
.Ok, where am I disagreeing?
People get really defensive about him but if you look back at the likes of Irwin, Neville, Evra, those guys were playing 40 sometimes 50+ games nearly every season, and in modern times you have the likes of TAA for Liverpool and it makes such a difference to have a full back that's quality AND is rarely ever injured. It's hard to build a team around players that feel like they could be injured at any moment. I include Varane in this too.
The metrics comment was aimed elsewhereCalm down lad, I agree with you
But wanted to know how it was based on without the big injury as that tells a better story and is better evidence.
Ok, where am I disagreeing?
It was just a question, you can calm...
.I agree and think this is for the spine including the midfield. You need that consistency and availability
Uncomfortable conversations might have to be had.
