Ish
Lights on for Luke
What a player.
Does somebody have a gif of that impressive sprint ? talking about the one where he layed of with his right to Rooney and Depay almost scoring his hattrick.
Any Gif of that amazing run?
Also passed it with his weaker foot. Exciting talent indeed.
Yes, he's shown that trait of being 'too' calm and measured more than a few times in the game last season against Chelsea and in pre-season. It's weird you would hope he actually learns something from Ashley 'fire it first time across the 6 yard box' Young.One thing for him to improve upon, he tries to be almost too precise with his crosses when he gets past the fullback, especially when he's right by the byline. Rooney made a few good runs in there tonight and sometimes he just needs to whip it in between the defence and the goalkeeper. He always seems to try and pick someone out, ends up getting blocked/pulled back too far and we are hit on the counter quite easily. It will come with experience though.
That run from right was certainly encouraging.He's going to turn into Bale MKII, isn't he?
Roadrunner! it was like playing as Ronaldo in fifa against novice CPU.
Will be no 1 fullback in the world, he's got the lot.
On his current showing? Highly unlikely.He's going to turn into Bale MKII, isn't he?
he does seem to have found an extra yard or two of pace from somewhere - seems that extra training has paid offIt is weird how fast he is.
I agree with all you've said, was more tongue in cheek than anything.On his current showing? Highly unlikely.
People say Bale is a flat track bully but he has brilliant dribbling technique and abilty. He showed that as a full back for Southampton and Spurs. The move to push him further up the field was like a flicker switched turned on and it all came together.
I'm not saying Shaw doesn't have the ability but I don't think it's winger/forward attacking level (or rather hasn't been developed). His attacking forays are mostly deep runs and overlaps. Until we see more situations where he is facing one and one with a player and is able to regularly beat them with skill and dribbling moves, it's wishful thinking to think we have a potentially world class attacking forward. Not to mention those situations would be quite high risk moves for a full back and one whose manager demands defending first.
Would Coleman, Alaba, Alves, Alba etc be able to produce what they do when they are mostly in the final third of the pitch with 30 yards of operating space compared to the 60 yards (and a supporting player) ahead of them right now? Probably but I doubt it would be elite level. Saying that Shaw could easily become a become winger than someone like Young, so yeah he could be very good/useful if his career goes down that path but I can't see Bale level yet.
Good point. His first touch would be up there with the best in the squad.Agreed. One of his best attributes that gets overlooked is his first touch, he can take the ball down on his foot like he's Berbatov.
I just hope Giggs schools him on not always hitting the afterburners like that. We need those hamstrings in one piece.he does seem to have found an extra yard or two of pace from somewhere - seems that extra training has paid off
Probably going to be less of problem for Shaw, Giggs was slight and Shaw is an athleteI just hope Giggs schools him on not always hitting the afterburners like that. We need those hamstrings in one piece.
We probably have an option to extend it a further year to 2019, that being said I wouldn't worry about him with stuff like that. De Gea was always obvious but can see Shaw staying here for the rest of his career injuries permitting.He should get a new contract soon. I know we signed him last year, but according to transfermarkt his contract will end already in 2018 and I don't want a situation where other clubs show interest next summer with him only having 2 years left.
