Manchester United’s 1-1 draw at home to Everton on Sunday evening will have brought fans back down to earth after their incredible derby victory over Manchester City last weekend. Supporters were back posting negative opinions on Twitter and Luke Shaw bore the brunt of quite a lot of fans’ frustrations.
[freshpress-poll id=”266243″]
He’s started five times so far this season but has only been rated an average of 6.57/10 for his performances on WhoScored. The 24-year-old has even younger competition in Brandon Williams and his three starts have led to 45% of fans on a Manchester Evening News poll claiming Williams should have started against the Toffees. After Sunday’s performance, Shaw hasn’t helped himself.
When United news aggregator United Xtra posted the half-time score of 1-0 on their page and asked for the fans thoughts, many shifted their attention to Shaw. They moved to slam him for his performance, and some nailed their colours to the mast in the Shaw/Williams debate too.
HT: United 0-1 Everton

Luke Shaw just as culpable for that goal. 2 stone over weight & tired after 30 mins. One of the main parts of his job is to be at peak fitness. Chap couldn’t even clear the ball 5 yards with his weak foot. That leads to cross coming in that leads on to corner. Unacceptable

Shaw looking sloppy. Martial dropping so deep to pick up the ball where he is least effective

Luke Shaw should be binned
