But it’s not how many England games he missed. It’s times he has been fit for England after being unfit for United…then again unfit for United. Hes been unfit for us 8 months but somehow manage to play Euros.
23
Shaw has never been consistent at anything but getting injured. He has spells were he’s great, but mostly short lived. Don’t get me wrong, I like him as a player, and the team improves when he plays, but not much more than any good specialist LB would provide.
Didn't he play a 1.5 games or something in the Euros?
I'm fed up of us waiting on him to get fit but it's not like he was out for a United and was suddenly fully fit for game one of Euros.
We've all got our own opinions about Shaw and here's mine.....
Ifs, buts, maybes - woulda, coulda, shoulda!
We can argue until the cows come home about his class, quality or form but there's no argument about his availability, or, should I say, unavailability.
If INEOS and Amorim are serious then Shaw needs to be gone as soon as possible.
It's beyond belief that the club have had so called ambitions to be in the upper echelons and at the same time retained his services for over a decade when in that time he has missed the equivalent of around half the games and currently hasn't kicked a ball for us for over 8 months.
Its also ridiculous to even consider that, as he ages, his fitness record is going to improve.
It's never a week or so with him, it's weeks, then months, then back in training, then setbacks, rinse and repeat...do me a favour.

It's the "do me a favour"
Well I m sure if he hadn't gone and play for England, he would be fit for united or at least close to be fit. Not that I have high hopes for him anyway. He should have been sold after his last good year (2021).
He should be sold in January and a new player brought in. You can't depend on a player missing half of the games every single season.
Heard from somwhere yesterday he has missed 7 seasons of football? if so thats mental
I don't know why but I read this in Roy Keane's voice
Come to think of itIt's the "do me a favour"
Never realised his appearances were so few so had to check and it is pretty shocking.
Obviously that was well documented but think people are making out like this is a regular thing where he's fit to play for England after being unfit to play for United. I can't be bothered researching but I'd be confident enough he's just as unreliable for England.
