Shaw is taller than Baresi, Cannavaro, Koeman, Beckenbauer, Puyol, De Boer and Bobby Moore.

Remarkably, he’s actually taller than Steve Bruce.

When he lies on his back he is also slightly taller than Peter Crouch

Only slightly?

Small, good centre back: Roberto Ayala

Its all well and good having a great cross on you however you need someone on the end of it to put it in the back of the net. That is the problem I think Telles may have. He put in a couple of very good balls however nobody was there to capitalise on it. Martial, Greenwood, Rashford and even Bruno are all fairly poor in the air. Cavani could benefit but will he be a regular? Probably not

Onto Shaw I have always rated him. Ridiculous when I see United fans saying he is sheite...he isn't at all. His crossing is poor but that is about it. He defends well (except first few games this season) and he links the play well. Now he has serious competition lets see if he can raise his game even higher. I honestly believe he is the best English left back

Shaw has been one of our better players over the last few seasons.

He still makes positional errors and has poor delivery from an attacking perspective but other than that he has been good.

He will never be an Irwin or an Evra though.

I wasn't enthusiastic about us signing Shaw, but he's gone on to be decent. While I'm Still not 100% sold on him, I don't think he was the most pressing matter when it comes to replacing or upgraded.

Thankfully he's not as fat as Brucey. Although it is touch and go. Probably a bit like the give in his clothes.

I think Shaw has been great in general since the restart. My only gripe with him is that he holds onto the ball too long or passes back. He did it last night a couple of times and a hell of a lot against Newcastle. He cc Leary had an eye for space because he gets onto the ball in great position, just needs to learn to do more with it, whether LCB or LB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of our players do that simply due to lack of movement in front of them

Telles last night gave the ball away a couple of times, as in passed to no one. People need to realise that he didn't give the ball away he actually played it into a spot where you would expect your mf or forwards to be running into

Think back to rooney and his crossfield ball to valencia. People applauded him for that. Yet a ball into space for a player to run into is the easiest of passes to make. Just as long as the player on that side is making that run.

Our players are asked to bring the ball out yet end up giving it back to the keeper. Why? Because they don't see an "out"
