Never stopped running and was probably our best player. I do think Telles' attacking on the whole is better but you'd be hard pressed to find a left back who is non stop like Shaw.

One of the only positives from the performance.
 
What was he was doing in their box for first goal ? That to on right side ?
 
He was easily our best player. The bas was rock bottom sure but still.

It was a corner. He was in the box for it with matic and awb defending ba.

He just didnt willy nilly go up. Who goes where for corners is tactical.
 
Why would you leave a ball to go for a throw in when losing? I mean are you fecking stupid? On top of that he was one of the few who actually tried something.
 
He may have made the assist, but the complete lack of ambition in his passing is as frustrating as it gets. Run forward, turn back, pass to Maguire. Run forward, turn back, pass it square. Repeat.

It's not all his fault, because we are set up like a circus, but it's just not good enough on the whole.

If you see united corner setup, Shaw or AWB defend on which side is corner waits on top of the box on their side. In this case he was deep in their box that to on right side.

Who's he supposed to pass to when everybody else aren't getting open?

He's shown that he can make the pass when they're actually available to get the ball, not his fault that nobody else apart from Maguire was making themselves available.
 
I just realize, he's not in the England NT Squad.

That and having Telles knocking on his door.. need to start stepping up and actually he is! :drool:
Just not good enough in the attacking aspects, consistent options at the top though, kudos.
Now and then, we do get the occasional good crosses, passes and shootings out of him.
 
I remember when Evra suddenly started crossing well one season. It’s quite funny.
 
He, Fred, Bruno, Lindelof, Scott and Maguire were great.

Shaw's been one of our best player ever since we signed Telles.

Hopefully not out for long because he takes a LONG time to play himself back into form.
 
Do we just have to keep singing Left Backs for Shaw to cannibalise for parts?

Gets dropped for Williams, so remembers how to run. We sign Telles so he learns how to cross.
 
Our 2nd best player till he came off. His last 3 games his crossing has looked very good. Very accurate

I like the analysis!

he’s out excellent the Past few weeks. Hopefully just taken off as a precaution. His cross today was majestic.
 
Really hope the injury isn't serious.

The one player you can almost always depend on in getting the basics right.

:lol: That's what I thought too. Maybe we should sign Marcelo, and Shaw would start scoring goals.
 
Another beautiful cross, learning from Telles already.

is he... Cell!?!?!
 
Great game today and not clear why he was subbed - it must have been something that was apparent at half time with Axel warming up - Telles will be ok to cover if required
 
His crossing has been good ever since we signed Telles, from that PSG game to now. He’s probably watching what type of training Telles does to practice his crossing
 
He's having a great season so far.

Nah he can’t cross, this thread has me convinced that anything he does that looks like a cross is purely a miss control of the ball ;)

Evra did the same thing with Heinze. Heinze was good in the air, Evra came in and was weaker in the air. Not long after Evra suddenly is leaping like a salamander high into the air and winning the ball. He took his rival's biggest strength and made it one of his own, so then why would the other guy play? He didnt.
 
Sounds like he’ll be out for a while.

Thank god Telles is training again because my heart can take Williams out there.
 
2 fantastic crosses 2 matches in a row resulting in 2 goals, I honestly can't believe it.

Of course thanks to our crap luck, when he finally finds form, he gets a long term injury.
 
Story of his United career- look great for few matches , injured for months . Rinse and repeat

He should be tried as CB and see if that helps in his fitness. He does a lot of high intensity runs and may be that's an issue .
