Mourinho was completely wrong on Shaw, even when Shaw was playing well I think it was around December 2018 or 2017, he barely played him. Gave him like one game a month, and the continously slagged him off.
And Shaw has been better for more than just one season, he's been largely good with us, just contending with a lot of injuries and some crappy managers (Van Gaal wasn't much better).
Someone suggested that post-Euros fatigue could be affecting the English players and I might agree with them. Maguire and Shaw were both very good last season, subpar this season. Sancho, Rashford etc also for us. I think they got what, like a week or two max off? Probably some truth in that analysis. Especially since last summer there was barely any rest either due to covid.
