That headline :lol:

His defending is the best part of his game, I don't think I've seen a winger beat him once in a one on one yet. And even for the penalty, on the replay I saw it looked like he got the ball.
 
He has some pace this kid. I want to see him fully fit. He is going to be a very good buy for the team.
 
Felt a bit sorry for him with the amount of times he busted a gut to make an overlapping run on Di Maria, but then Di Maria didn't pass to him...

Mind you, at present time, Di Maria can do what he likes.
 
Glad the injury isn't serious, he's doing great at left back right now. I'm glad that he is better defending than going forward right, very unlike most young fullbacks. Love having young English talent at United.
 
I absolutely love him. Defensively he's a monster, especially in one on one situations. Just went to sleep for the penalty and I'm sure that won't happen too often
 
It must feel awful having to put your name to such tripe. Being a Daily Star journo is basically a case of sacrificing your dignity to make ends meet.

On Shaw, he was okayish today. Gave away the penalty and lost Naismith for the goal which were the negatives. Overall though you can see he is a player and that all the potential is there. He will have the beating of many a fullback when he tears forward, hope to see him do it more often. Linking up with Di Maria, that left hand side should be lethal.
 
Played well again today, Hope his injury isn't too serious as we could do without having to play Rojo or Blackett at LB against Chelsea
 
Can't wait to see more of him, potentially be at the club for a decade with any luck! Has so much quality, yet to see the best of him in a United shirt.

Was very impressed today... you sometimes need to remind yourself how young he still is.

Any news on the injury?

Dead knee, apparently. Better news than what I first heard (hamstring).

Hard to believe he is only 19 yet! There's plenty of scope for him to get even better
 
Still can't get over the fact that he's only 19, an absolute star. Bar the penalty incident, I thought he had a pretty good game against very tough opposition and he will only get better. I wouldn't trade him for any other LB, the potential is huge.
 
It's a bit funny how often di Maria ignores him on the overlap. Our old wingers loved to just chuck it to fullback and take no responsibility.
 
He'll be in England U21 squad over the weekend, so the injury is clearly not serious.
 
He really will be as good as Ashley Cole, you can see it already. Can anyone beat him in a one-on-one.

Said this earlier in the thread, including pre-season, I honestly don't remember any player beating Shaw in a one on one situation yet. He seems to have a brilliant knack of reading an attackers mind and where he's going to go.

Can't believe he was dropped back from the England sqaud! Clearly San Marino should be used to give youngsters first team competitive experience! Feckin short sighted England muppets!

I think it was more to do with the fact he is just coming back from injury. He is clearly ahead of Gibbs in the pecking order.
 
So Shaw conceded a stupid penalty and then was at fault for their goal when his man (Naismith) scored.

Correct. He's also 19 and is showing a fecking shit load of promise.

Now, what's your point?
 
What was the consensus on the penalty? I thought he got the ball watching live and MOTD only showed one replay but I thought again he'd got the ball?
 
I thought he got a tiny bit of it, but coming from the side/behind and completely wiping out the player... didn't massively alter the path of the ball. Stone wall for me.
 
I wouldn't criticized him for a penalty. It was one of those tackles when the player got the ball and it was not really a penalty but you can't argue with the ref because from the angle he saw it it was a stonewall penalty. Tbf the tackle was spot on and he got the ball, if the ref could see the replay he wouldn't give the penalty. But as LVG said after Rafael penalty incident, you can't give the ref the opportunity to give the penalty in the box and i think LVG will have a word with Shaw.

Aside from the penalty he was very good, he looked so good defensively that you can't imagine he is really just 19 years old. Great talent.

He got the ball first, a faint touch, but it was coming from a poor position through the back of the player. 10 out of 10 referees would give it.
 
Played well today and showed the same sort of form he did whilst at Southampton. I hope the injury isn't too serious.

Not to worry! He was just taken of as precaution :)

He'll join up with the U21's now.

He clearly kicked the ball with his left foot and Hibbert then fell over his left leg so it isn't a penalty. He hit the ball before making any contact so his left leg had every reason to be there, Hibbert then falling over it isn't his fault. If his trailing leg tripped Hibbert then it is a penalty but no chance was that a penalty for me.

I'm not sure it would be a stonewaller like that. Had the referee be positioned a little differently, there is a strong chance he doesn't give it, as Shaw does win the ball.
 
Not a pen IMO. He's also ridiculously mature for someone his age. And unbeatable on one on one situations.
