Could do, I'm just a bit tired of putting any faith in Shaw to be honest. Smashley seems 100 times the man Shaw is, regardless of ability and promise.
I wouldn't go that far. I really hope Shaw finally gets it together and becomes a permanent feature in the side but we didn't look better when he played over Young. I though Young was one of the most consistent performers for us last year, and he's not even a full back. As I said I hope Shaw finally shows up this year after the numerous issues, but we did not look better last season when he played over Young, I don't agree with that.
Exactly my point, you've got people saying now is the best time to sell him, unbelievably daft.
This was pretty much what happened last season when young was injured but he came straight back in once fit...that will happen again. One might get to a World Cup semi the other is at home. Once rested Young has nothing to worry about on that front!
The margins aren't big but we were defensively better when Shaw was on the field, and we played better football as well in my opinion. Shaw wasn't at the end of every attacking move like Young was when he was on the field, it encouraged our wingers to do the attacking wing work instead, and rightfully so as they're the best players to play in the wing positions. When Young played it forced the likes of Martial and Sanchez more centrally, clogged things up and it became a lot more predictable. At least with Shaw he offered that burst of pace on the inside and a bit more unpredictability, and it meant Sanchez and Martial stayed on the wing and did all their attacking play there.
Fair enough, I can't blame anyone for feeling so sick of the whole thing they want us to cut our losses now but let's have one more go.
This was a heavily criticized move by Mourinho at the time, people seem to forget that.
I understand what you're saying, and fair enough that you think we were better, I just personally don't think we were. I though Young actually offered a good outlet going forward and contributed to quite a few goals this season too. In addition, I though Young was very good defensively too, like where he helped keep Mo Salah quiet at Old Trafford amongst other good performances. As I said, I want Shaw to come good and really seize his chance this season anyway, but he is also in the last chance saloon too I feel. Fingers crossed anyway.
Oh definitely, I agree on this. Pep would probably want half of the squad out that way, but then he had to meet mr. Woodward and all he would get is a big f*ck you as United aren't sugar daddy club and next day he would be gone to PSG.
And this right here is proof that Shaw is one of those United players who no matter what they do, some posters will put on a tin hat and type negative messages about him.Not one person has mentioned the outrageous filter on that photo, nevermind how blurry it is.
Doesn't matter anyway - it matters how he performs (and how chunky he looks) when he pulls on the United shirt.
He's doing fcuk all you eejit, that's the problem.
So doing extra training is doing nothing? More confirmation.He's doing fcuk all you eejit, that's the problem.
He's been at it for seasons now. Seen it with Rooney too previously. Means absolutely nothing unless they perform to expectations in actual matches - which he doesn't.
So effort off the pitch in matches means absolutely nothing? Brilliant. With all that free time Luke Shaw will have without having to go to training and working hard to impress his manager, he'll be nice and relaxed on matchdays
Oh is Shaw doing this for free is he? Didn't realise that.
Doesnt matter apparently its nothing - and you feel so strongly about it that you'll insult anyone who says otherwise, if its not on the pitch in a match
Last post because you're clearly just on the wind up. I clearly meant (or was implying) he's doing nothing of note to garner praise or positive comment.
Fair enough. But given his body condition was 'cause' for a lot of negative comment for the past week or two, hopefully its shut people up for a while and we can get to the matches on the pitch that you mentioned before writing him off.
How's the weather in Dubai mate?
Haha been waiting for that one.
That's fair enough as well
CheersThat's fair enough as well
That's nonsense. These conservative right backs you mention, are they all spineless gits like Darmian? Because Matteo can's defend against a fast attacker to save his life, any semi decent winger ripped him to shreds.
I´m not even bothered anymore.
Would be refreshing if he didn't have to do this all the time though wouldn't itJust as I criticzed the previous photo, has to say the last one is great, he worked on his body well these few weeks.
So would all the people abusing him.
Atkins?
It was. People wanted Shaw to keep playing.
Well it was posted by the Man Utd twitter also so they're feeding into the narrative as well.
