He picks up pace and goes forward which is so important to our generally static and slow game

Solid. Honestly think Depay's struggles the last couple of games curtail his effectiveness attacking. Him and Young linked very well in the 2nd half.
Yeah he was showing signs of frustration with Memphis when he'd bomb forward and not get the return ball when Memphis passed backwards.

Literally the only player in the first half who didn't look like a complete Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime while attacking.

I saw the same. Memphis seemed unsure of what to do today and hesitant to cross it in with his left when Clyne was showing him to the byline. I'm confident he'll get it sorted and him and Shaw will form a dangerous partnership.

He was amazing. A tank of a LB and once he starts you can't catch him. Defensively magnificent. Hope he carries on

Our biggest talent since Ronaldo! I know it is impossible for him to reach the heights of Ronaldo since Shaw is a defender and they will never be as highly thought of as attackers but I have not been this sure that we are watching a future world class player since Ronaldos early days.

He's a tank. As long as he stays fit, he's going to be a regular for the next decade.

I'm not sure who coined the phrase but he is the proverbial Tank with a Ferrari engine, our best attacker in the first half as well.

Incredible.

Someone said he could cover the entire left side by himself and it's true. What a player and he'll only get better. I think he's already the best left back in the league.

It's a shame; i can imagine him putting this types of performances for years non stop and still be overlooked for things like the balon d'or; because defenders hardly win it. This guys has the ability to be the best LB ever IMO. He's already in a hand full of games made me feel like he's better than evra even at an older age.

It does sound silly but if you think about it, erm maybe it could happen.

He's an absolute machine, defensively so secure the only time a player gets behind him is when he's made a lung bursting run forward: he was our best player in the first half and the only person driving the team forward, I absolutely love him.

I remember some brilliant performances by him at SFC before he came to us. He was terrific today. Creative, with vision, the beating of his man all day. He was so good not too many people noticed. Brilliant young player and an excellent signing among a whole raft of excellent signings.

very bright future ahead of him. If he stays fit, can play 100s of games for us.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. You could see him stretching our his arms to Memphis - must be annoying to go on a brilliant run, just to see the winger pass it to a midfielder instead.

He's really stepped it up this year already, was excellent today I thought and looked most likely to make anything happen in the 1st half.

It's hard not to get excited about this guy's future here, isn't it?

It was amazing today, when you saw him get the ball near the halfway line, that sudden burst of pace came out of nowhere and the Liverpool players weren't sure how to react when he would do it through the middle.

Up there as one of my favourite players, the potential is outrageous right now.

It's just i cant remember a fullback at his age being so composed.

Especially after roberto carlos; fullbacks started becoming judged on their attacking ability but shaw's defensive abilities are as good or even better than his attacking.

His talent was obvious, even last year. Now he shows it with frightening consistency and without injuries.

I thought he was good last year too whenever he played, fatigue which probably resulted in alot of the injuries just ended up ruining his season a bit.
Now he didn't play for the U21's and it was the best decision for him and the team, he looks great and what a player we have here.

Man of the match for me today. I keep forgetting how young he is, right in the age bracket of Memphis, Martial, Januzaj and Perreira. We have nice young crop of talent.

Knock on wood with injuries and such, but he looks set to join De Gea as our other world class footballer out there. I guess Schweinsteiger might qualify if he can stay fit, too.
