Very good debut.
To be fair to Shaw, Telles was a wing back today.I liked Telles a lot today. He provides more than Shaw from the attacking perspective, and we may use it. Set piece delivery is also brilliant. Defensively, we don’t yet know - PSG preferred to attack via Bissaka’s end instead
Slabhead will love those Telles crosses from corners. Harry would have scored a header tonight from one of those corners I'm sure of it.
I think he is a better fit for us than Reguilon.

His crossing is amazing. What amazing isn’t just the quality but how he can pull it off in tight space, there was one time when he was one on one in tight space, doing one foot step over, moved the ball slightly to his left and crossed it.
And also he wasn’t just blindly crossing it, I realised he often have a look first before decide to cross or not to cross. When there is no players or the player isn’t in the right place to receive it, he decided not to cross.
Seems to have good attitude on the pitch, trying his best for the team.
I’s have preferred Reguilon personally mainly because he’s a fair bit faster and carries the ball better. It’s a toss up though, they have different strengths. Reguilon is like an orthodox winger in his ability to dribble at pace up and down the touch line, whereas Telles is like Beckham playing full back. Doesn’t give you the same pace and penetration running with the ball, but you won’t find better crossing.
I think Shaw is better than Telles running with the ball and general free play, although far worse end product.
Can't blame them. Not too long ago Phil fecking Jones were taking corners for us.It looked like our players didn't know what to do with such outstanding corners coming exactly where they should.
The bend on those corners! I had forgotten the ball could move from a set piece
I thought it was illegal for our players to hit good corners. Turns out they've just been unable to for about 15 years.
Its mad isn't it? When was the last time we had a truly great corner taker? Beckham?
If we revert back to our usual 4231 i am excited to see what him and Rashford can make of it down the left. Rashford and Shaw, despite playing together in those roles for nearly two years now have not really developed into anything
Couldn't have asked for much more from a LB on his debut at PSG away. Fantastic.
Which turned out to be a HUGE mistakeI liked Telles a lot today. He provides more than Shaw from the attacking perspective, and we may use it. Set piece delivery is also brilliant. Defensively, we don’t yet know - PSG preferred to attack via Bissaka’s end instead
