BT just shown that Darmian had the most tackles and interceptions with 10 today
Exactly, if we had played like this over the last 8 with Shaw at LB, we would be hailing his performances. Darmian has been good enough in this period where weve conceded a mere 5 goals in in 8 games.Imagine if Shaw was putting in this level of performances...
Yup. It's been evident lately that teams are looking to expose him. He was actually ok today but overall, he's miles behind the required standard.Needs replacing ASAP.. sooner or later teams will clock on earlier and wreck us down that side.
Same. He was ok but was so lucky to be up against a snail in Brunt who looked off the pace. Phillips would have destroyed him.Yup. It's been evident lately that teams are looking to expose him. He was actually ok today but overall, he's miles behind the required standard.
Plus we're pretty much sacrificing our attacking game from the left flank just so Mourinho can keep playing him there.Needs replacing ASAP.. sooner or later teams will clock on earlier and wreck us down that side.
I think Jose likes to build up his side brick by brick. Left wing is definitely been neglected for now, while he has focused on perfecting our right flank.Plus we're pretty much sacrificing our attacking game from the left flank just so Mourinho can keep playing him there.
The thing is Blind IS fighting for the first team spot and Shaw is unfit. Jose just trust him more in that position for some reasons.okay, but thats not good enough for me, we should aim higher and promote Joe riley and leave Blind and SHaw fight for the first team spot
Shaw is injured not unfit, and Mhky was also unused but he kicked on and looked super exciting. The situation is temporary right now at som positions and I belive majority of ppl can see that tooThe thing is Blind IS fighting for the first team spot and Shaw is unfit.

I think the situation is a bit different with Mkhitaryan as he is new to the league and might not fully ready. There are also reports saying that he has gained weight since joining so maybe it has something to do with the physicality of the league.Shaw is injured not unfit, and Mhky was also unused but he kicked on and looked super exciting.

Darmian is a pawn. He might be fine defensively, but we should dubiously sacrifice him to let our attack develop faster.BT just shown that Darmian had the most tackles and interceptions with 10 today
We did just that with Valencia with Mkhi (when fit)/ Lingard (today). So we deliberately draw attention to our left wing (but still have enough covering options) then quickly switch play to righ hand side with pace and hit the opponent.Darmian is a pawn. He might be fine defensively, but we should dubiously sacrifice him to let our attack develop faster.
Yes, that's one way to play a pawn. But even a pawn can be promoted to a queen with enough support and patience.Darmian is a pawn. He might be fine defensively, but we should dubiously sacrifice him to let our attack develop faster.
People are going to overlook this while they think Darmian had a standout performance.Grateful that Leko did not star the match. Ruined him like four times in ten minutes.
Well let's just hope that doesn't take too long because we could really use that left flank come January, Sunderland and Middlesbrough we can get away with.I think Jose likes to build up his side brick by brick.

Sorry. Horrible use of language. My point is that people are rushing him out of the club when I believe he's just as good a right back as Shaw is a left back at the moment.Currently performing at RB? Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think he's played at RB (bar last night) in about 6 weeks since the Fenerbache game.
Shaw has been out for a year with a leg break and is a kid! Darmain is just putrid with no excuse.Sorry. Horrible use of language. My point is that people are rushing him out of the club when I believe he's just as good a right back as Shaw is a left back at the moment.
Fair enough mate no worries. I see what you're saying now but what we've seen from Shaw this season is probably his bottom level, what we have seen from Darmian is probably his top level. And even at that i would still say Shaw has been better simply due to the fact he has more of an attacking edge to his game.Sorry. Horrible use of language.
