"Shaw is an international footballer, for him to get caught out like that [is not good]. I think Shaw has been getting away with murder for years at United. Always injured, never quite fit and we make excuses for him. Then he gets a few games under his belt and he's making decisions like he doesn't want to tackle people."
"It's a nice bit of skill [from Doku], but Shaw is an England international player with hundreds of games under his belt. He doesn't get his body position right. It's far too easy. It's like he's thrown the towel in. We know people can run off the back of Bruno Fernandes, that's been going on for years. But my goodness, even before that, you've got two midfielders that are too square."
Luke Shaw was caught out for the opening goal and appeared to give up on the play, failing to get his body position right and making the challenge far too easy. The full-back has a history of injuries and intermittent fitness and has recently shown hesitancy to engage in tackles. Two midfielders were positioned too square, allowing a single pass to break the defensive structure and enabling runners to exploit space behind Bruno Fernandes. Manchester United conceded space despite having numbers back, and the match produced no yellow cards even though conditions and build-up suggested heavy challenges were likely.
