I can’t take many more games of Lindy at LB
I agree. He was withdrawn the weekend before as a precaution, then why start him the following week? It doesn't sound like he was properly ready.Rushed back, clearly not fit, now possibly out for the season. I get that Shaw does have injury problems but we're basically asking for him to get hurt playing him like this and it's been like this for the past couple of months. He gets injured, we rush him back and play him every minute of every game, he gets a reoccurring injury. It's hard for me to blame Shaw too much in this scenario.

Yeah but what do you do when you have no options as they are injured and every game is a must win game.Is Shaw injury prone? Obviously. But, I think the bigger issue is that we have no backup for him. It seems like a lot of his injuries this season are a result of him being rushed back, forced to play several full games in a row, and then getting hurt again. I don't see how it's a surprise he got hurt today, he clearly wasn't fit enough to start.
This wouldn't be an issue if Malacia was still alive or we had Reguilon still but as things stand we just keep throwing a half fit Shaw in to the starting lineup and acting shocked when he gets hurt again.

Availability is the best ability
We might see him in the league cup next year if he keeps playing well. Chances of him starting consecutive games for us in league is very slim indeed. Just my opinion. He looks good but I don’t get the same feeling as when I watched Mainoo or Greewood or even Laird to be honest. Shaw would have stood out in the same way. I think we need to go into the market to find a player who can take shaws place from next season on. Enough is enough. Also these players that get used a lot from when they are very young seem to be a lot more prone to constant injuries when they are olderTweet

Dalot will be left back for the rest of the season.Luke being out for the rest of the season is really bad news, Lindelof at left back against Liverpool or City will probably end in disaster
Rooney was far more reliable than Shaw.His build reminds me of Rooney and he was usually injured for two or three months every season too. We may need to sign a left-back in the summer.
Nonsense. Rooney only had a couple of injuries that kept him out for long spells. He made 40+ appearances nearly every season over 13 years. Compare that to Shaw who has only made 40+ appearances 3 times in 10 years.His build reminds me of Rooney and he was usually injured for two or three months every season too. We may need to sign a left-back in the summer.
Left where?Dalot will be left back for the rest of the season.
The time to get rid was last year before giving out a new contract and stock was sky high. Yet, we believed that last year was the norm and not an aberration.Get rid please. This is ridiculous.
I swear hamstring injuries last 3 months only at Manchester United.Tweet

34 games so far this season. He has been unavailable for 20 of them. So in 4 of the last 7 seasons he has missed 20+ games.
Shove your metrics. Club needs to move on with a stable left back that helps build a stable backline. Not a good left back who misses half the season and we struggle to adapt when he's gone.
What happens to Malacia next season then? When he’s no longer injured. For the same reason you mentioned, he won’t be sold this summer either.Why do people keep saying get rid?
Very rarely can clubs move on injury-prone players who have long-term contracts. What should be done is getting a new left-back as a starter and using Shaw as a squad player when he's available.
That's a take.He's no great loss anyway and should be shipped out in the summer.
Zero intensity to his game.
Who told you that was Ten Hags decision?Ten Hag allowing Reguilon to return and loaning out Fernandez when he knew Shaw was our only fit LB is fecking baffling decision making. Especially considering how injury prone we all know Shaw is.
