Wiggles31 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 He must be near certainty to get a cap in the March friendlies. Was sensational tonight. Are there many full backs who get forward so much as him in the PL? Who knows maybe a late shout for a place next to Lallana on the plane to Brazil?
angelman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 There's a big flaw in his game though, in that he doesn't have a right foot. Not sure I saw him use it once this evening. Just being overly picky.
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Shaw for England and Schneiderlin for France I reckon. How Morgan hasn't had a call up yet is beyond me.
trousers Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 There's a big flaw in his game though, in that he doesn't have a right foot. Not sure I saw him use it once this evening. Just being overly picky. Would be interesting to see how Shaw would operate on the right flank from time to time. Bale is great at cutting in from the right and firing in shots with his left boot. Like you suggest, Shaw quite often has to curtail an attacking move towards the box when he finds himself on his wrong foot. Still a great player though and, yes, can't be far off a sniff in the senior England squad now.
Tony F Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Shaw's cross for Jose's goal was amazing. He was being closely marked yet still whipped it over, great shape and inch perfect. And his shot toward the end really tested Schezny.... great strike.
Saint Garrett Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Get him in the squad for the Denmark friendly! I'm going!
bpsaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 He definitely deserves a chance in the friendlies to show what he can do, I imagine Brazil will come a bit too soon for him though so long as Cole and Baines are fit, can't see us taking 3 left backs.
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 The whispers are that he will be included in the upcoming friendlies. They wanted to include him in the previous 2 games, but the U21's had some competitive games which took priority which is why he stayed with the u21s
ThreeSixty Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I can't envision a scenario he doesn't go to brazil. At this rate he'll be starting.
S-Clarke Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I can't envision a scenario he doesn't go to brazil. At this rate he'll be starting. It could be a World Cup of Saints. Gaston Lallana, Shaw Lovren Yoshida Morgan.....I wouldn't be surprised, I don't think he's far away. And if we get either Luis or Vela, then they'll be part of their nations team as well. Osvaldo possibly could be included, as he's only going to be on loan I reckon.
DuncanRG Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 (edited) I can't envision a scenario he doesn't go to brazil. At this rate he'll be starting. Erm, no he won't. You guys are getting way ahead of yourselves. He has an outside chance of going to the World Cup if he performs well and he's very lucky with injuries to others, but he's got great players ahead of him. Baines and Cole will go if fit, then he's got to compete with Gibbs who for my money is a better call for international football. He's had a good season and Champions League experience is important. I think Shaw will go into the squad for the first round of friendlies after the World Cup, as Hodgson starts to build his next team. Not yet, and he won't replace Baines in the starting lineup easily even then. Hodgson's already said 'no surprises' for the World Cup. Don't expect anyone without a recent call-up to make it in without big injuries. Edited 29 January, 2014 by DuncanRG

And even if there are big injuries Roy'll probably just shoehorn some Man United players in there playing out of position, it seems to be his style.

max_saints Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 good that he's making all these forward runs but anyone feels it often leaves a huge gap at the back when he fails to track back or jrod doesn't cover for him., something opposing teams have been taking advantage of in recent matches. keep pinging in those crosses and I won't mind though!

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Shaw won't get in this time around. Hodgson has already said he won't be picking any surprises. The Denmark game is to properly cement down the team.
Saint Garrett Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Should take Baines with Shaw as backup IMO.
angelman Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 What I find most interesting about Shaw's crosses, and it was very evident last night, is that he still seems to get the ball in when his opponent is tracking back with him and is level, when most players seem to need to be half a yard ahead of their opponent.
DuncanRG Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 To be fair, Cole not even playing for Chelsea and fwiw, I dont think Shaw would be classed as a surprise Hodgson's answer suggested that he meant nobody without a recent call-up would get in, that he'd seen everybody he wanted to ahead of his final decision.
skintsaint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Should take Baines with Shaw as backup IMO. No way, Baines can't defend for ****. Great going forward. Rather have Cole, he is a bit more reliable at the back.

Has such a small backlift he can get the ball in before the defender has a chance to set.
colman1860 Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 To be fair, Cole not even playing for Chelsea and fwiw, I dont think Shaw would be classed as a surprise He's an 18 year old, not playing for a big team. 0 caps to his name. Would be a massive surprise. It'll take an injury to Cole/Baines to get him there.
Saint_Tony Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 It would be nice if England had 3 quality players for every position, not just left back! Personally I think Luke will just miss out, his time will come soon enough though, can see Cole retiring after Brazil
a1ex2001 Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Think his chance will come post Brazil unless Baines or Cole get a knock as I really don't see how Roy can look past those two. Shaw is going to be Englands next left back he just needs time i'm sure cole will quit international football after the summer and Shaw will be in the next squad after that. Would love to see him go to the world cup as proof to him that there isn't much he can't achieve as a Saints player!
Le Timmier Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 He's an 18 year old, not playing for a big team. 0 caps to his name. Would be a massive surprise. It'll take an injury to Cole/Baines to get him there. Spot on
