In the last few weeks we have played a CB (Rojo) a RB (Darmian) and a CM/DM (Blind) at LB and while they can all play there none of them are natural there and it shows it's been a weak spot for us especially going forward.

All the while we have a perfectly fit LB (Shaw) sitting on the bench or in the stands. I think we can all agree he is or for some at the very least can be our best LB so why isn't he playing?

He's played 15 times this season sporadically and while he hasn't set the world a light at worst for me he's been as good as any LB we have played this season and needs a run in the team to gain his form back, especially after the injury he had.

So why isn't he playing do people seriously think he can't be trusted to play in the earlier FA Cup rounds or against Rostov who for great periods of time barley crossed into our half?

Or is his attitude the thing thats holding him back? People talk on here rightly that we don't see what goes on in training and behind the scenes but some people also think the worst and that because they aren't playing they must have terrible attitudes and/or work ethics, that might be the case it might not.

When Martial largely carried us last season did he have a bad attitude and/or work ethic then or did it just appear when Jose arrived and he kept getting dropped for a while? I think this attitude thing is over blown and affecting the team especially at LB were we are struggling.

I'm not saying for a second I know more than Jose or his staff or what goes on behind the scenes this is just my 2 cents on LB, I seriously doubt Shaw has that bad of and attitude or work ethic and needs to be playing for the better or the team and himself.
