Luke Shaw | Match Discussion Thread 2024/25

It's all in jest.

Him being back would be a massive bonus as he makes the side so much better the poor guy just can't stay fit.
 
Think those who think Shaw will fit seamlessly into Amorim’s 3-4-3 system are in for a shock.
It’s easy to look good in an ultra defensive system against San Marino’s ladies 2nd team, a whole new ball game in a progressive set-up against City, Liverpool, Arsenal et al in the PL
 
His football intelligence and skill has never been in question for me. It's just his body that is the problem.

He's the most obvious choice for left wing-back.
 
I think he might struggle with the wing back role but he'll give us extra cover for the left sided centre back position which he's played a few times under Ole and did well.

That centre back roll probably puts a lot less pressure on his body as well.
 
Shaw won’t stand a cat in hells of playing in an Amorim set up, he can’t get back into position after he’s strayed forward and won’t be able to keep fit anyway going on recent events.
 
Rather try Godwill Kukonki(16) at LWB, strong enough for the CB duties when needed, and good pace and enough ability on the ball to get forward and whip dangerous crosses in
 
When Shaw is fit he’s one of the very best in the world. Amorim will love what he can bring but his biggest challenge is to stay fit!
 
I think some people have forgotten the threat Shaw can have down the left, whether it is running at people or picking people out with his fanatstic left-foot. He used to be a set piece taker for us, and probably still would be if fit. He's good at picking out low crosses across the box and getting into the box himself which is what Amorim encourages his players to try and do first and foremost. The left sided wing back will be tasked with attempting to go wide if the centre is too congested, and he can do that too.

100% he can play wing back easily.
