Who told you he was concussed? Clearly the issue he had was that the cut he got was horrendous. He couldn't see well enough either against Southamption or Palace so wasn't able to play. He trained yesterday so he was fine.
Of course I'm right. He was flopping sideways left and right on the pitch. Concussed person doesn't do that.No you're right mate. He was just fine.
He may not have been officially concussed, but he definitely wasn't fully ready for this match. It's obvious the head injury has played a part in his poor performance and thats the point we are trying to make.
He got a black eye. A cut on his face. You made up the rest to add emphasis to your point. He was never concussed, and was fine to play today, as his wound had healed.No you're right mate. He was just fine.
I couldn’t tell you his strengths and weaknesses despite watching him every time he plays, other than he’s pretty average at everything. I couldn’t even tell you if he’s an attacking fullback or a defensive fullback.
His strength at youth level was that he was a really quick and powerfull runner who could get up and down the wing all game causing havoc. He was an attacking full back. Apart from that he was quite messy defensively. I think at senior level his great strength has been levelled out.
I’m sure most of us don’t think Shaw is good enough either.
Who has ignored Shaws flaws? Whilst the reaction to Williams is OTT, Shaw has his flaws pointed out all of the time.
I'd like to think that was true, but he seems to have a cult like following on the forum and I just can't fathom it, he might be the best option at the minute, but ...
Yeah but the wrong flaws. If he can't read the script he's lost positionally most of the time, and more so in defence. I just don't feel the lad is ever gonna get it. Timbo was more clued in there defensively verses Palace, and he's not played there for years.
It’s tiresome coming here these days to be honest, unless we win 4-0 and dominate, there‘s always this kind of micro-analysis.
He's played more games now, and people are coming to realize that he is nothing special.
Don’t personally think Shaw would give it away as much as Williams, but to each there own.
It's hilarious. I remember Cameron Borthwick-Jackson who was touted to be our left back for years to come by some of our fans. He was extremely limited and was quite clear he is not gonna make it here or in any PL team and to me Williams is exactly that. I think he will struggle to find a club in a few years.
Aye. This is the same bunch that would have swapped Martial for Perisic and Rashford for Willian. Oh and most wanted Shaw himself shipped out not too long ago...
Precisely this. Hard truth unfortunately and this holds good for lot of players and our manager.
He’s been playing left back for years now. Ole isn’t just dumping a right back on the left because he feels like it.
Was he playing left back in the ressies because the right back was better though? Similar to why Phil Neville played on the left because his brother was the better player.
Whether he was concussed or not, for long as this thread lives, it will always serve as a reminder of a terrible take that came to be accepted by quite a few.
