Iāve defended Shaw in the past. My argument is based on the fact that he is good going forward. Malacia looks an animal though. Iām sure at some stage weāll see what a defence of shaw/varane/martinez and dalot looks like.
Sure Shaw had a good season is 20/21 and was probably the best left-back in the 2021 Euros. He had a good 6-12 months there while the stadiums were empty/limited capacity.
Year they finished 2nd (about 2 seasons back) he was one of the clubs best players, taking that form into the euroās, where he was Englandās most important player IMHO. That euroās did something to his and Maguireās psychy, Iām convinced of that.
