Does a Shaw cross ever reach it's intended target?

Yes, but Bruno headed it over.

I’ve had £#%&! tissues with more football intelligence than Shaw

Come on, Rashford.

Just not quite happening for him.

Or those of James.

I feel they must be being coached to play the percentages and just whack it in.

I don't recall world class wide players and full backs doing that in the past. Maybe they're just limited.

Rashford and Pogba still feeling their way back a bit, imo.

Getting closer... some lovely work today though, quick feet, hard running & playing for the shirt.

Ole

Evra was the £#%&!ing worst for delivery

Really worried about James. Just doesn’t look good enough. Realise it’s tough coming on but.....

Probably said but that's the first time a team has won 4 PL games in a row by 3 or more goals.

He’s not good enough atm but he’ll get better. Could do with a loan I think.

Yeah that's probably true.

I was thinking of other players to be fair.

We're becoming a very good team

Sloppy in the first half hour, but the quality is just overwhelming for average teams and it's enabled us to stroll through the last 30 minutes.

Fitness levels are good. Four or five players capable of scoring and the lads coming on are good and eager to impress.

We really should get top four.

Did I hear that right too? First team to win by 3 or more goals in 4 games in a row?

Basing it on the last 15 mins in which both teams haven visibly given up and are strolling. Easy to forget he is only 22. Sign a winger he will be good cover.

All but the very best players aim for an area, not a man when crossing. It’s up to the forwards to get in there, hardly anyone can cross properly, it’s why Alexander-Arnold looks like some sort of Cafu-Beckham hybrid. Just a rare skill, tell me who’s capable of a wicked delivery in this league? Almost no one.

That’s mad. Can’t believe we’ve never done it before and the dippers and City have been mullering teams for fun on stupidly long winning streaks

Incredible we never managed that at our peak, really.

Martial, Greeny, Pogba all very good.

Rashford & AWB horrible.

The rest ok.

A decent nights work

How the £#%&! is Williams not starting ahead of Shaw OR AWB?
