He’s never going to be a Rio type of ‘classy’ defender, but he doesn’t need to be. Being a bit slow didn’t stop the likes of Steve Bruce, Tony Adams being great captains and players for their team. His influence on this team is clear and we’ll be £#%&!ed without him if he’s out for a while.

Quotes writing Greenwood off or £#%&! off. Maguire, to his credit, has improved as this season has gone on and has been very good, mainly, since Christmas, deffo top 5 players this season. Shaw Bruno Rashford Pogba Maguire I'd probably stick AWB in there too. The lack of actual midfelders in there speaks volumes imo. |

His ability to lose a man at the back stick & never do anything of use going forward are not indicative of a player doing well for us. The guy has all the composure & comfort on the ball like he's been asked to do algebra whilst roller-skating. Agree with the rest. Shawberto has been magnificent, only 25 as well. Let's hope AWB can progress as much in the next 18 months - could really do with some competition for his position. Seems to have really helped concentrate Shaw into a beast (that & @#%&!y £#%&!ing off). Any word on Maguire's injury? |

Agree that AWB has got better and more reliable through the season, though he's still capable of the odd brainfart I can't remember too many goals that were on him since Leipzig. But I'd have Cavani ahead of him on a list of our players of the season.
Shaw and Bruno top two pick themselves. |

Cavani would be up there for me had he not been MIA for the first half of the season, not his fault technically, but injured/suspended for much of the time before Christmas, missed that tough period after Christmas as well. Would be interesting to see how we'd have fared if he'd have rocked up in August fighting fit and been available all season.. |

If he can work out how to cross it properly & overlap, that's a decent start. Some serious deficiencies in his game for a modern fullback, he's a bit of a throwback in that regard, but he's got next season to really kick on in a side that hopefully gets a decent defensive midfielder to help cover. Maybe even a pacey centre back that can also cover. Leaving gaps & being exposed shows him to lack a bit of adventure but could also be by design if Shaw has license to power on down the left. I'm undecided on him being the first pick long term, but he needs to pick it up. Half hope he doesn't get in the England squad & gets the summer off & the challenge to get more to his game. |

I don't remember us ever having a fullback so shit going forward. the only thing that would have helped him going back in time is that we used to play with wingers. |

Actually he was fine at getting forward. It was actually doing anything once he got there that it was a problem. He used to just grind to a halt and stand there flicking at the ball with his foot rather than make a decision. Infuriating. |

AWB needs to work on his crossing - a lot. But his passing is pretty good. Example: that assist yesterday. His defensive attributes are there - goal stopping tackle yesterday a as well. Just keep him from back post headers. He's got so much room to improve as well. I'm thinking in a year to 18 months, someone will be pulling up the AWB haters similar to how they have the past few days with Cavani.
