Steady performance, better going forward than Blind or Darmian but not as good defensively or in use of the ball but by no means the sh*te performance many are calling.
Off pace, rusty is different than fecking up basic of positioning. You can make sloppy pass, not getting on with team rhythm, not winning ball back enough, not dominating the attacker... understandable. Not aware of your defensive line.He got better as the game went on, as you would expect.
This is why I think some of the criticism are harsh. To be thrown into a game, taken out for a few then to play again, is not as easy as people think especially if you want rhythm to play with those around you. Blind coming on for Rojo surely would not have helped him either.
Thought he was better going forward than defensively overall, but until he gets a run of games its hard to just judge in singular games here and there.
Since injury or in general? If you mean the latter then I don't agree.He's a poor player tbh.
That can easily happen though cos mentally youre not comfortable and off-pace trying to compensate for something else (whether its coming back from injury, change of players, lack of fitness, lack of game time).Off pace, rusty is different than fecking up basic of positioning.

Well they are one and the same thing. 'Since the injury' is the player we have. There is no use saying 'if he didn't get injured' about a player who did. The player he is, is a poor one. He's been fit for an entire season now.Since injury or in general? If you mean the latter then I don't agree.

Any link for the comments?Got some praise from Jose, as well. Was supposed to come off before Zlatan's injury and played with cramps in the ET.
I get the impression he's been miles off what Mou thinks constitutes being 'fit'Well they are one and the same thing. 'Since the injury' is the player we have.

As I said in Blind thread I think it comes with the change to midfield 3 with more protection from midfield. There is more pressure on their passers.That can easily happen though cos mentally youre not comfortable and off-pace trying to compensate for something else (whether its coming back from injury, change of players, lack of fitness, lack of game time).
Once you get more rhythm you get more comfortable with it, which is what we saw after their goal.
That's good. Kind of attitude Mourinho likes.Tweet

Well no it's not the same because he's still recovering from his injury and has barely played.Well they are one and the same thing. 'Since the injury' is the player we have.

It's so apparent that Mou is trying to transform the players into players that will fo anything for him, and for the win and that will take the extra mile. It might be frustrating at the beginning when they get benched and drop form, but we will reap the rewards I think. Bar Martial I think, he has everyone where he wants them to be mentally at the moment, everyone works incredibly hard.That's good. Kind of attitude Mourinho likes.
Problem with that approach is that it tends to end badly.It's so apparent that Mou is trying to transform the players into players that will fo anything for him, and for the win and that will take the extra mile.

True. I don't think either Shaw or Martial will be here next season but mentally, he'll be happy with Shaw and can see him get a few more opportunities before the end of the season.It's so apparent that Mou is trying to transform the players into players that will fo anything for him, and for the win and that will take the extra mile.

Great to hear . Shaw finally understands what Jose wants from him and other players and applying it. Jose would really loves this from him.
