Brilliant, only thing missing from his performance was giving Tony a clip round the ear.
Yeah, I think so. He's great defensively and has been desperately unlucky not to pick up more assists.I was thinking lately about this 'Decent but not good enough for where we want to be' opinions people express when it comes to our players.
Would you be happy with him in the starting 11 for years to come if someone told you that he will keep that level up till the end of his career? Like not get better or worse.
I would.
To be fair he doesn't have much to aim at often... our players need to be busting their gut to get in the box more.He's in the form of his life at the moment. All he could improve is his delivery on the longer crosses.
If you are thinking about the same moments I am he was genuinely incredibly unlucky to get nutmegged twice in 5 minutes. Both just seemed like a freak chance. Jenas was trying to make it sound like Fulham were getting lots of joy down that flank but I think it was pretty much those two moments only and they were very unfortunate for Shaw.Really good again - had a couple little wobbles defensively, and I thought he could have crossed/cutback to Cavani a bit quicker when he got played down the line, but another solid display.
He is so important to our build up play, he's genuinely a playmaker from LB.
While those were in my mind - the one where loftus cheek got in between Shaw/Maguire and had a shot on target was probably the worst of themIf you are thinking about the same moments I am he was genuinely incredibly unlucky to get nutmegged twice in 5 minutes.

Ah yes, I did forget that one, probably should have done better. Loftus Cheek is a really weird player though, one moment he can look like Pogba marauding through the midfield with pace and power and then other times he's so wasteful and his end ball is just lacking.While those were in my mind - the one where loftus cheek got in between Shaw/Maguire and had a shot on target was probably the worst of them
He didn't really track him properly in that situation, but it was good movement by RBL. It was just a funny 5 minutes, but he was excellent apart from that.
Jenas is a bellend btw, can't stand his commentary! saying United had a poor attitude even though we were absolutely dominating them![]()
Yeah he is frustrating isn't he, I remember when he starred for England against Germany and absolutely tore them apart, then we never saw him again for like 2 yearsAh yes, I did forget that one, probably should have done better.

Couldn't agree more, I used to quite like him but once you hear a bit more, he's as clueless as the rest.
Fred had a couple of moments yesterday where I genuinely laughed. One was the one you were referring to with Loftus Cheek where he looked like a child against a giantYeah he is frustrating isn't he, I remember when he starred for England against Germany and absolutely tore them apart, then we never saw him again for like 2 years
Poor old Fred was trying his best to track him but getting bounced all over the place.
Jenas has a bias issue it seems, he loves Tottenham and hates United.
Welldone to you and your faith in the players ability has been vindicated.Always astounds me how long it takes some football fans to come to terms with what is going on around them. Seems many are just figuring out what I've been seeing for about two years now.
Surprising to see many trying to pretend like he hasn't been good since 2019 or so. The only major improvement I'm seeing is a better delivery at set-pieces and more crosses, which was always the major drawback.
You know what is crazy how he again never got freekick for that battle is crazy Tete shoves him off the ball two hands on him and pushes him off. Fred back up after them again and then Tete takes him out with a challenge. Think it was late in the game. Things like this are why I love Fred. Absolutely no quit him doesn’t know when he’s out matched either.Fred had a couple of moments yesterday where I genuinely laughed.

The other one where he was in the corner at the end, scrapping for his life and getting thrown around like a rag doll
. He's nothing if not persistent!
Yeh no idea how it wasn’t a foul, it really made me chuckle though for some reason.You know what is crazy how he again never got freekick for that battle is crazy Tete shoves him off the ball two hands on him and pushes him off.
