I don't think it is an easy feat to play as CB instead of your defined RB position in the Premier League, regardless of the club you play for.
A good feather to have in your hat, should do Shaw's confidence all the good in the world. If he keeps working as hard as he is good things await him and us by association.

 

[El Jefe]

He's been really good and more importantly he's excellent on the ball so there's no drop off from Martinez being out in our ability to progress from the back. In games Lindelof and Maguire have filled in for Licha, the play from that back has suffered.

What I will say though is Varane can play with anyone at CB, he's that good. How would Shaw look playing with Maguire or Lindelof as his CB partner? Not great I'd imagine but its good to know we have him as an option there.

He’s been fantastic at CB no doubt aided by Varane.

 

[mav_9me]

While he has done brilliantly at CB I think we miss him at LB. Again Malacia has been ok but not the same passing or ball progression

 

[sullydnl]

If nothing else it's good to know that this is at least an option in some games when Martinez is out.

 

[SinNombre]

If he keeps it up, it will mean he has been good 4 out of the last 5 seasons which makes all this talk of inconsistency a bit silly.

And a 3rd world class season along with 2 impressive major tournaments.

Honestly, until Casemiro, he was the United player closest to a world xi. It is a bit unfortunate that English didn't win the Euros since that would have given him the respect that his performances deserved.

 

[Oranges038]

He's been good.

His post match interview was good too, shows that maybe ETH is getting through to those players who've been coasting through their time at Utd.

Where this might matter is in terms of any CB signing in the summer. With Martinez our CB most likely to play and Shaw potentially offering a left-footed alternative in some games, it would point to any Maguire replacement needing to be right-footed to step in for the more injury prone Varane in a balanced way.

He’s been excellent this season. A very good footballer

This makes complete sense and has always been the case, in my opinion. Unfortunately, Varane picks up the odd injury here and there. Would be smart of us to pick up the next Varane and give him some cup games etc.

 

[mu4c_20le]

When he's in form, he's better than prime Trent.

 

[slored1]

When he has competition, he is some player. What a fecking performance. An absolute tank with the ball and very good without it.

 

[Scandi Red]

Absolutely top class today. MOTM.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Super luke shaw, cracking performance

 

[Amar__]

Fair feck to him, he's been great lately.

 

[VeevaVee]

Mega performance

 

[Andersonson]

What a pass. He has been great lately

 

[Red the Bear]

Shawberto Carlos.

On second thought let's not use that nickname ever again.

 

[Van Piorsing]

10/10.

Ultra attacking fullback.

 

[Leg-End]

Immense again

 

[spiriticon]

His left foot is a wonder. I think it's better than Antonys

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

Shawdini
Shawberto Carlos
Lionel Shaw

All jokes aside, great attacking performance from him. Defensively more of a mixed bag, as he made some good clearances and interceptions, but also lost his man on a few occasions and let them swing crosses in.

One of the most important members of the team right now, no doubt about that, but still improvements to be made.

 

[Idxomer]

Good performance but thought he was a bit casual defending today.

 

[RuudtheRed]

Amazing pass at the end to Bruno, I half expected RvP to appear and head it past Casillas

 

[Adam-Utd]

The best and worst of Luke today in moments, but the run and pass were things not many can do.

 

[Artorias]

Great game by Shaw.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Brilliant display, goal was incredible play.

Best form I've seen from him in all his time here.

 

[Olecurls99]

Looked a bit lackadaisical in the first. Immense in the second. Best left back in the world. Love watching him in form.

 

[Skills]

The best and worst of Luke today in moments, but the run and pass were things not many can do.

I feel like people expect too much. How many players are juggernauts on both ends of the pitch?

 

[lex talionis]

Superb again today.

 

[kouroux]

He is incredible

 

[Annihilate Now!]

He's World Class

Best left back in the league, if not the world

 

[FrankDrebin]

One of the most natural footballers in the squad.

 

[MiracleInMadrid]

On the ball he is like Marcelo at his best but less flashy.

He’s not pure energy like Robertson. He’s not that kind of player. But he will be absolutely everywhere without looking like sweating.

I really enjoy watching him play

 

[RedRoach]

Stunning performance. I hope he can keep this is up because when he is on song there is no better left back in world football.

 

[DJ_21]

Finally seeing the lb we signed from Southampton. Top class player.

 

[TheNewEra]

He played well

 

[Stadjer]

Good performance but thought he was a bit casual defending today.

DDG wasnt impressed with his defending near the end of the game

 

[Adam-Utd]

I feel like people expect too much. How many players are juggernauts on both ends of the pitch?

Not really, i'm a huge fan of Luke but he didn't have a great time against Stacey, and that pass at the end? nearly cost us the clean sheet.

You can praise him and criticise at the same time.
