Thought he had great match today, apart from penalty switch off, did very well on both sides of the pitch.

Has potential to be world class fullback, will only get better.
 
Thought he was good again today, the way he bombs down the wing is wonderful to watch. Another injury is the last thing the lad needs though, hope it's not to serious.
 
Some very Good moments and some bad ones.

He lost Naismith for their goal too though it was a tough one. Aerially on the far post he can be weak.

Penalty incident ofcourse was a problem too.
 
Good performance in all. Harsh penalty call as I felt he won the ball, and I hope he's okay after walking off gingerly. Any updates on that?
 
He's looked good since coming in at left back. God willing he isn't injured too badly.
 
Looks a bit too sluggish for me, which is what I blame for him losing his opponent for the penalty. It was a touch harsh, but like Scholes said at half-time, you slide in in the box and you better make it clear you got the ball. Particularly if you're going in from behind.

Agreed.

Once he came off and also for that matter when Valencia came off, Everton appeared to find more joy down the flanks.
 
Has loads of potential and does have a great left boot on him for crosses. Still feeling his way into a united shirt atm, hope the injury is not a big problem and I am glad we forked out for him rather than near enough the same amount Everton wanted for Baines last year. Will only get better and it is good to have to full backs who have good engines and love to get forward.
 
Looked very good again. Think I saw a picture that showed he got a touch on the ball for the pen too? Either way, he's very good at defending 1 on 1, he's fast and strong. Still so young too. Think he has it in him to become the best left back around, he's that good.

Penalty aside he did very well. Attacked well and defended well.

He lost Naismith for their goal though it was a quality ball and run but still could have done better putting more pressure.

That's a slight weakness in his defending aerial balls on the back post. Though not having a commanding aerially CB like a Vidic doesn't help the fullbacks in that regard.

True, Rafael's position didn't help either.

This, having said that it was a brilliant cross and a good header. Also am I the only one who thought he got the ball?? for the penalty that is.
 
Not quite there today which is odd because he managed to shut out McGeady. The Hibbert pen was silly but at the same time he shouldn't have to track their right back.

The goal was kind of his 'fault' but it was a great ball in from Baines and he'll grow into the ability to defend those as he gets older and wiser.
 
He's going to be great once we actually have a settled back four around him.

So that'll in about 2020.
 
he is actually exellent with the all at his feet very promising dribbler. I think it's a matter of time when he will be the best attacking full back in the league if not a future winger / AM like Bale:-) Shame about his injury thought Rojo would be put on the left but after his improved performances as a CB it was Blackett. But we don't need to speculate who will be the cover leftback now because he will be ready for the next match hopefully
 
Dead knee doesn't sound too serious. I was concerned it was worse. Hopefully should be back for our next game, especially with the international break. He's impressed me so far, besides the penalty. Those mistakes are to be expected from a young player though. He looks good defensively and going forward, especially his dribbling.

?

His defending has been excellent except for that one mistake. Even with that one mistake taken into consideration he's defended better than any of our other fullbacks this season.
 
The issue with the penalty isn't the tackle, it's that he completely switches off after Hibbert plays the ball instead of tracking the run. If he tracks the run the ball never gets to Hibbert.
 
He just oozes class and confidence for such a young player. He's going to be a very special player.
 
The biggest compliment Shaw gets is United just seemed a lot weaker as soon as he got injured. So much composure for such a young player.
 
Really impressed with this kid, looks very solid and excellent going forward. Can't wait to see how he develops, he's only 19 as well.
