    Why does Shaw travel with the squad? What is his role? Frustrating, especially when none of our left backs is better. He couldn't be much worse, could he?.

    He'll leave for peanuts and become a solid performer in premier league for the next decade.

    Yeah for some West Ham or Stoke.
     
    Can be any formation, 4 defenders with Tuanzebe Herrera McTominay in midfield or 3 CBs (Smalling, Lindelof, Tuanzebe) and Blind, Darmian as wingbacks.

    1. Because we're paying him a lot of money and Jose doesn't want him sitting at home playing his Playstation all night
    2. Supposed to be a first team player
    3. Yup
    4. Nope, Young, Blind and Darmain are all better
    5. Yes he could. You need to watch the reserves
    6. Yep
    7. Nope

    His role tonight is back up left back. He's been terrible even at reserve level so doesn't deserve a start.
     
    Shaw is in trouble. What other industry would you be so bad at your job and still earn 70,000 k a week.
     
    Interesting selection, glad to see Axel getting a stat, I wonder if he's going to in a back 3 or playing as a DM.
     
    Reckon it'll be a 4231, with Tuanzebe coming in for Matic and McTominay behind Rashford.

    Romero
    Darmian Lindelof Smalling Blind
    Herrera Tuanzebe
    Lingard McTominay Martial
    Rashford

    Ah got 9/11. Had Young and Mata starting instead of Tuanzebe and Herrera.

    He could become a solid performer or a world class LB. Wouldn't change the fact that he was shite at United under two very different managers. We should look to buy a new LB regardless of what happens. Clearly this guy isn't cut out for it.

    The list suggests our usual 4-2-3-1 with Tuanzebe as #6 and McTominay as #10, but could easily turn into 4-3-3 or 3-4-3.

    He wasn't shite at all, he was very good for us under Van Gaal until he got that injury in Europe. He's a player we're clearly destined to feck off in lieu of playing absolute dross like Young and Darmian just because they're 'average and try'.

    As opposed to being "potentially world class" and not trying?

    Excellent!
     
    Great to see Tuanzebe, Martial and Rashford. Disappointing that Shaw didn't make the XI.

    In the second season for the 8 or so matches you mean? LVG was with us for two seasons, so was Shaw. He's not less 'dross' than Young and Darmian, he doesn't even 'try' whereas they at least do. He's a fecking waster.
     
    Shame about Shaw, thought he could if been perfect for us but alas it wasn't to be. Seems he just couldn't make it work after that horrific injury.
     
    Well interesting team and bench. Will be a bit more exciting than our last two outings...or so we can hope.

    Gutted about Shaw though. Think he is a goner. Shame about that , thought we had the left back position sorted for next 10 years(:lol:). Alas you can't cut it if you have a shite mentality and no fight!
     
    Glad to see Axel getting a run out. After reading the resident experts who’ve assured me Jose won’t play any youngsters. Hope he excels yet again...
     
    Am I the only one who wasn't expecting Shaw to start? He's done nothing to warrant a place in the starting line up, he's barely played any football and when he has he's failed to impress.

    There's no way we'd have put him in there incase he's at fault for a goal, everyone would have blamed Jose for taking the chance.

    It'll be a tough game and they'll be thinking they have a great chance to cause an upset of sorts. Think we'll just have enough to scrape it 1-0 or 2-1.

    Please. He played a handful of good games. in more than 3 years. If he still hasn't recovered from an injury that happened years ago, he's not in the right sport. Even Lvg criticised him. The fact that he can't get ahead of the likes of Darmian says it all.

    He got injured in early september after the international break... so he was good for like 4 games in august? Doesn't count for anything. Good for a few games at the end of LvG's first season. Shite/injured otherwise. Mourinho wanted him at Chelsea, he didn't come with some preconceived agenda about him. he just hasn't shown any desire in training and never stuck out when playing for the reserves. He had potential but clearly isn't good enough or doesn't have the motivation to succeed here.
     
    Is anyone showing this in English?
