Agreed, neither of them are natural attacking players.Maybe it would be better with Telles but I'm firmly against any lineup that has Williams and Shaw together.

Literally any lineup with Luke Shaw in it is nowhere near good enough.
He just isn’t though is he? He is literally a full back that struggles to defend or attack. The epitome of a nothing player who spends the vast majority of any given game out of position.Shaw is literally our best ball-playing defender.
Do you want a back line where our players struggle to put one foot in front of the other, let alone carrying the bloody ball?
What about McTominay playing his Scottish role.

That's too open for my liking, I think McTominay for Pogba in midfield and then have Lindelof as the RCB will be more solid. Pogba will come in when he has proven, over a number of weeks, the desire and fitness to play. I think AWB will be a weakness but a quartet of Martial, Rashford, Bruno and Van de Beek will be difficult to handle for teams.What about McTominay playing his Scottish role.

Need Fred or Matic in for one of PP, Bruno or VDBWhat about McTominay playing his Scottish role.

Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Wan-Bissaka Matic Telles
Donny Bruno
Rashford Martial
reckon this could work? 3-3-2-2, free flowing, interchanging from wide to central between Donny, Bruno, Rashford & Martial. Matic shielding the back 3, Telles bombing forward, AWB more defensive.

Shaws playing in his best position tonightWe have to use Telles. Luke Shaw can turn into a left back when we're up against lesser teams and Telles can turn into a winger. Basically having a lopsided formation. But we look very good defensively tonight and we're quick in attacking.
He’s good in that position.Literally any lineup with Luke Shaw in it is nowhere near good enough.

I really like him there. I seen him break forward at the start of the match which could be a regular occurrence if we're playing low block teams.Shaws playing in his best position tonight
Not really a fan of it but I accept there are certain games we have to use it.
Against big teams away from home.. Are we not a big team?This formation is perfect for these type of games. Against big teams away from home who give us space to run into. But that will only be about 20% of our games.
We shouldn’t be playing 3 at the back in the majority of our games. Only in specific situations like these.
Not one of the biggest.Agai

And Laird will be starting for us soon enough.Agreed. Telles might work on LWB, but we dont really have a suitable player for the right

Bloody hell, you do realise if you are a big team you can still play other big teams?Against big teams away from home.. Are we not a big team?
Not one of the biggest.
The logic was that we will now have 3 shit CBs instead of just 2. Bizzare thinkingWhere are all the 352 neysayers now?
I thought playing an extra CB didn't make us better defensively?
Hahahahahahaha
