Just because he slightly touches the ball doesn't suddenly give him license to clatter through the back of Hibbert. His 'touch' barely makes any impact on how the ball moves and Hibbert would have continued on (and possibly scored) if Shaw hadn't brought him down.
Surprised so many of you don't think it was a penalty.
Doofy"It's not a bad injury, it's a dead leg on my knee. I felt it in the first 20 minutes when I got caught but it carried on during the game so I thought it was probably best to come off before it gets any worse. I spoke with the doctor and obviously the manager as well and both feel it's best that I do go [with the England Under-21s] as it's not an injury that is going to keep me out. Hopefully, I should be training in the next couple of days and can get another two games of 90 minutes each." - Luke Shaw
Bound to make it worse with England U21s now knowing our luck.
Thought it was a penalty. But I also thought he was quite good apart from that. The cross to Falcao for his headed chance was very nice.
Excellent player looks the part already, had a brain fart with the goal and the penalty though.
As others have said, regardless if he touched the ball or not, there was always going to be a penalty awarded when coming through from behind like that,
but he'll learn, luckily it didn't cost us.

He does ball watch from time to time. Lost his man for the goal and did the same when De Gea needed to make a good save against West Ham. He looks defensively solid otherwise but needs to iron those flaws out of his game.
He's a real talent and very sound defensively despite being only 19 years. However, bad penalty to concede. Clear penalty as well
He was probably at fault for both the penalty and the goal they scored yet his quality is there for everyone to see. Players can have a bad game but still it could be easy to spot their talent. That's the case with Luke Shaw. He looks a star in the making.
He's a typical new-gen fullback, decent going forward but lack abit of the defensive side, but he's only 18-19 years of age and has alot of time for improvement.
That was stonewall penalty. Happy to not get sent off.
He's not a typical new-gen full back at all, he's an old fashion full back who's fantastic defensively.
It's just lazy to assume "oh, he's 19, he must be great going forward and suspect defensively".
No ref would ever give a red card for that. Well, maybe except Nani's Turkish friend.
Yeah it's definitely not a red card... though was incredibly surprised to see him not get a yellow considering how card happy the ref was yesterday.
EDIT - Or did he get a yellow? I can't remember seeing him show one... though I was sat at the opposite side of the ground.

I was mad at di Maria for ignoring him all the time, especially because Shaw was great with the ball whenever he got it in final third. It's unfair comparision, but if(for example) Nani was opting for a shot instead of passing it to Shaw at least 3 times in similar situations he would get ripped appart here. Just to be clear, I am not naming Nani just because I like him, same would happen with Rooney too. Di Maria was very frustrating yesterday for me.
Imagine if Di Maria gets it. He'll start thinking he could cross the ball in from the halfway line - dead centre 
That's not true about Shaw at all...
Yeah, concerns were the other way with him, that he's good defensively but not good going forward but from what I've seen so far he's pretty good going forward too and will just keep on getting better. He gets compared to Bale saying that he'll end up being moved into a winger role. No chance for me. Perfect in his current position.
Never a red card, was a penalty though not arguing there.
Its the complete opposite.
Do you actually watch football?
He is bit of both right now. His attacking play has been good in his appearances so far for us even though he is playing a more curtailed role behind Di Maria. Better than i have seen in the past actually.
Like even yesterday he created 2 chances for Falcao.
His defensive play is pretty good one on one and positionally generally anyway too. Can improve ofcourse with experience there but his weakpoint defensively is crosses to the back post.

For their goal, he was a bit unlucky. Had Rafael been in line with the rest of the defence, Naismith would have been offside. Shaw should have done better but Rafael's position didn't help.
If Shaw's contact had have changed the direction of the ball more visibly, then I don't think the referee would give it. In real time, it didn't look like Shaw got anything on it, but he clearly does. I understand why he's given it, but I don't think it was "stonewall".
I don't know if this has been mentioned by anyone, but did anybody notice when he came off that he has the most spastic, infantile clap ever? Like a mindless fecking seal
Is this the most obnoxious post of the day?
Looks a very good player already at 19. Saw quite a lot of him at Southampton last season and thought he was excellent so when we signed him up I was chuffed. Haven't been disappointed, only 19 and looks great going forward and defending. Was a bit unlucky with that penalty and the goal wasn't entirely his fault.
Does anybody know how serious his injury is?
EDIT: Just read that he came off because of a dead knee. Hopefully he's back and ready to go after the international break.

No idea why anyone would think it wasn't a penalty. One of the most dumb decisions I've seen all season from any player. Could see it coming a mile off.
We'll give him some slack given his age but it really was joke defending.

Almost certainly. What next?
A little crude, but accurate. Try not to have a stroke over it
I assume you've watched every game for 90 minutes? If not then your sample size is rather small with only 7 games played.
Been very happy with him so far.
Was good for much of the game save for the penalty.
The penalty giveaway was caused by Hibbert making an unexpected run on Shaw's blind side - was a lack of awareness, put simply. He'll iron those sorts of kinks out of his game.
It was just inexperience is all. We knew things like this would happen with a lad his age. He pretty much did everything else very well though.
The movement of the striker dragged Rojo out of his position, which left Shaw with doing nothing. When the overlap came he didn't realise his cover had gone until it was too late, and then made a risky challenge. Probably should have gone for the shoulder barge to put him under pressure.
Great new's that he is fit though, I was worried he was going to be out for another month.
