Ironically, it's probably been exactly a calendar year, of Fred being a top ball winning, defensive cm. Still leaves something to be desired on his first ball out, after dispossessing.
Despite all the offense, and defending through the middle, off the pitch, I'm satisfied that Shaw has Telles, & reading Trippier for AWB. Shaw was mediocre. AWB though, had a poor game, found himself in trouble a few times in teh 1st half. Gave away a prime opportunity for Leeds, and was bailed out by de Gea's outstanding save at 49'
Think Anthony Taylor's yellow for simulation on James, was harsh. Armbar across him up top. I think he's a good ref, otherwise.
