Malacia

Shaw is a far superior defender. That is not in doubt,

Except by idiots of course.

But Malarkey may improve to match him. Time will tell.

there are always going to be a fair few fashionistas that are going to "go with the new" in these situations, plus a smattering of those that just hate for the sake of it. But transparency aside they need just to be ignored

He’s been ok. Good tracking back but need to offer more in attack

No, he definitely controls the ball much better

Yeah that ball to set up sancho v Liverpool was awful

Shaw will never ever be reliable again (if he ever really was) so his time at the club as a starter is limited. Whether Malacia is good enough or the long term answer, I’m not sure but so far he’s stepped up and is a player I’d much rather see there than Shaw who’s just for me a sad reminder of the waste of the post SAF years

Impossible not to like Malacia & Martinez. Aside from the fact that they both look like really good players (with plenty of scope to develop & adapt further to the demands of PL football), they're exactly the sort of personalities and characters lift both the team and fans alike.

Hopefully Antony & Casemiro can get themselves up to speed sooner rather than later as well.

Shaw is 4 years older and has had 9 years playing in the premier league.

Malacia has had 4.5 games…

Talk that Shaw is better is absolute nonesense when for 7-8 years he’s been pretty poor

Malacia just needs to calm his knickers abit sometimes, diving in is all good and well but a good player will leave him for dead constantly if he keeps that up, hopefully that's something eth develops in his game
