Can't they just duct tape his legs together or something? We need all the able bodies we can get until the end of the season.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) talk about the proposed new stadium, season ticket prices, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and all things INEOS after the first year of their co-ownership.
They also discuss back-to-back victories vs. Real Sociedad and Leicester City - was this the best week for Amorim so far?
Treatment still, not far away from training
Reasonable people would agree with this.Bruno really is a machine.
Shaw? It is what it is, dont see point in being angry with players who are constantly injured. Must be incredibly tough for them, despite all the comments here about giving wages back etc..
Hopefully he can come back and give us 10-15 games a season for next couple of years as LCB while Yoro and Heaven bed in.
But literally everyone was horrified that after such an injury hit season last year that there was even a prospect of him going to the Euros.
To make a couple of forced appearances there, then basically break down immediately this season was an absolute disastrous outcome, that so very very many saw coming.

Differnce is i work there
Very fancy
So you weren’t made redundant?
I want this to be funny, but I don’t get it. Unless it’s just any old photo of a footballer of course, to highlight the time.
Back in training. I’ll refrain from the usual jokes about his fitness levels and just keep my fingers crossed that we see some good to great performances from him for a good spell of time. Rooting for him.
Is he looking a little less pudgy?
Maybe there's hope after all. He could surprise us all and stay fit for a couple weeks this time.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and expect him to play at least 3 games in row!
His looks very fit for someone out injured for so long.
Aside from the usual comments about whether he'll stay fit for more than one game and the usual frustration from most fans (me included), i'm interested to see how he fits in with the back 5.
Said it a million times but I wouldn't trust him in that LWB role for a second given his fitness issues- there's just no way i'd risk him in what is probably the most physically demanding role in Amorim's system. I do wonder if his passing and technical ability would help us be a bit more creative from the LCB role though.

from what i remember though wasnt he defensively a bit all over the place in that role? Couldve sworn he had numerous switch off moments that cost us. Been so long that at this point the whole Shaw LCB situation has morphed into him being just something taken for granted.
Yep. He can only play against crap teams that sit back and park the bus.
Playing him against any team that make us sit back and constantly defend is too painful to watch.
Zero positional sense, always flat footed, crap tackling, weak in aerial duels...
Some mixed performances, but there were some good ones in there. He was absolutely immense in a 2-1 win against City at centre back and had Haaland in his pocket. I also remember him giving away a really stupid penalty against Brighton in that role IIRC. He's very comfortable in possession in that role though and it's obviously less running for him to do.
He was mostly good there, but did have a couple of games where he struggled. It was a fairly small sample size so which way he'd go if he actually got a longer run is something we really don't know.
In saying that, playing LCB in a back three should (in theory at least) suit him better than playing in a back two.
His best games in that position have been against City a few times, PSG and Barca. All are good teams that don't sit back and park the bus.
I would be astonished if I ever seen him playing LWB again. There's no way his body could cope with it. Think it's very safe to assume he's considered a LCB if anything these days
Always hope the flood of posts on this thread is because his return is imminent.
Any sort of appearance will help the strained squad, just to pad out the league games if nothing else, as we presumably prioritise the Europa.

I hope he plays a few times for the U-21s to build fitness before playing for the first team again.
Good idea.
