We were a side transformed when he came on. My MOTM. Won us the game.
Aye the change in intensity and speed of moving the ball out of the back was noticeable. Less fcuking about with it.We were a side transformed when he came on. My MOTM. Won us the game.
He made him look better which is an unbelievable feat.This baller completely turned us around when he came on. Makes Maguire look like a dinosaur of a defender
Him or Saliba imo.Has he been the best CB in the league this season?
Saliba hasn’t even been the best CB in his own team let alone the whole league.Him or Saliba imo.
Tried to give him a rest I guess + get some minutes into Malacia and Maguire.Anyone have any idea why he didn’t start? Him coming on upgrades up significantly at LCB and LB.
He’s not playing midweek anyway, just seems very odd to meTried to give him a rest I guess + get some minutes into Malacia and Maguire.
Probably for that exact reason. Malacia will play LB and Shaw with Varane you'd expect? maybe he wanted to gel them.He’s not playing midweek anyway, just seems very odd to me
Didn’t even remember that he was banned. Makes it slightly strange that he was rested today then, maybe ETH wanted to see Shaw at CB again.Absolute class.
Fecking disgraceful Europa decisions for the penalty and booking to keep him out of the Barca tie.

Why didn't he start?
Ten Hag wanted to give Shaw and Malacia some rhythm at LCB and LB before playing vs Barca. Didn't really work all that well, but the logic makes sense.Weird decision to rest him in this game when he won’t be playing on Thursday. It almost cost us.

As long as he is not injured or something related to discipline.Ten Hag wanted to give Shaw and Malacia some rhythm at LCB and LB before playing vs Barca. Didn't really work all that well, but the logic makes sense.
Think it was to give Shaw game time at CB for the Barca game. This all odd team selection was about BarcaTried to give him a rest I guess + get some minutes into Malacia and Maguire.
I’m not sure a Premier League game away from home against an opponent that there were going to be pressing us like mad is the time for a training session.Ten Hag wanted to give Shaw and Malacia some rhythm at LCB and LB before playing vs Barca.

Well Leeds play like a shit Barcelona, so it was probably the idea training situation for Thursday.I’m not sure a Premier League game away from home against an opponent that there were going to be pressing us like mad is the time for a training session.
It was a game in the league where we have a comfortable lead over 5th, and had used them not too long ago vs City (successfully). The cups are simply more important right now, and it wasn't a big risk doing that.I’m not sure a Premier League game away from home against an opponent that there were going to be pressing us like mad is the time for a training session.
