Again i disagree. He gets forward but cant do much when isolated. Evra was exactly the same but he had fantastic forward line to cover for it. Evra did not get to the byline that often himself. 1 assist in 08 should tell you how often Evra was bursting forward, 7 assists in his entire career for us! Evra getting the ball into the box just didnt happen. He could cover ground and was a fantastic defender but he wasnt a great player going forward.
As soon as the forwards play well we get posts about how well Shaw is doing. Its not a coincidence. Our attack is purring after the break and all of a sudden Shaw is a huge miss. Our attackers were shit pre lockdown and Willaims should be playing.
The problem with Shaw is that he needs great play in front of him to be effective. When everything was breaking down around Rashford or Martial was holding onto the ball with no movement then Shaw cant play the quick passes to get forward.
Evra was fantastic going forward, one of the best in the premier league's history. He just had a shit final ball once he got into those positions. It was that ability to completely dominate the entire side of the field, both offensively and defensively, that made him the best leftback in the world for about three seasons. After that it was more his defensive ability that declined but his ability to dominate going forward stayed until near the end.
Not sure where you're getting the 7 assists? The premier league website says he got 21 just in the PL. Transfermarkt says he got 40 for us overall.
Shaw always helps a lot with the build up from a deeper position. Then he tends to go through one or two periods every season where he's also being very effective actually getting forward himself and getting into positions to really hurt the opposition. But even when he's at his best he's certainly not as good as Evra was at it, and he doesn't do it anywhere near as consistently.
