Got his customary yellow card but played very well.

I was going to mention this as well. I think it’s some sort of tactic. Like he is supposed to push up and Rashford goes inside. Then Matic was supposed to cover the space behind. I’ve seen it in a few games mostly Fred doing it but it doesn’t seem to work.I don't know if it's tactical or what but he leaves so much space for the opposition right winger, better teams will punish us for that.
In possession he was tidy and looked like he enjoyed going forward far more than he did defending.
In fairness don’t think Harry is in any place to be telling anyone to “switch on” he Maguire was playing pretty poorly and constantly getting pulled out of position and just going for wonders leaving massive gaps.Tweet

Tells you all you need to know about his approach to games. He was decent in the second half but early on he was too slow on the ball and indecisive. Needs to be more active on the ball and direct with space.
It happens on both sides but teams are exploiting our left because AWB does a better job in catching up and protecting the space while Shaw is not doing that.On the tactics, why does he tuck in defensively? Hes about 10 yards inside the box when we're defending, and always has to run out to close the opposition wide players. Must be coached but looks so weird.
Also appeared to be the same height as Jagielka on corners. Feels wrong.
I have been saying this for a while now. He is always scrambling to get to the winger and is pretty much never able to block the cross from coming in.On the tactics, why does he tuck in defensively?

I've noticed this often with Shaw and wondered if its tactical instruction or Shaws poor positioning at fault. I think you're right, you don't want to give a good pacy winger that much space.I don't know if it's tactical or what but he leaves so much space for the opposition right winger, better teams will punish us for that.

I think with Shaw, he needs a run of games to show his true quality. I don't think he has got the confidence back from his injury.I've noticed this often with Shaw and wondered if its tactical instruction or Shaws poor positioning at fault.

Probably because we feel that we need more than Maguire, Lindelof and Matic to protect Pogba and Fernandes. Most team attack through the middle. And if they dont, well, they cant do us too much harm out wide, can they? At least if we are able to outnumber them and stay well organized in the box.why does he tuck in defensively?
Not even looking at Shaw when he says it.Maguire to Shaw: "fecking switch on"
Sort of defeats the purpose if he switches off to look at Luke Shaw when telling him to fecking switch on after Luke lost the ball.Not even looking at Shaw when he says it.
