At present Blind is a better LB than Shaw.

Blind does some things better than Shaw but he struggles against quick powerful wingers. At their best I'd have Shaw over Blind at LB any day.

Blind definately better. Shaw a limited footballer, although I'd marginally give him the edge defensively, due to physicality only, blind is better in every other area. Not even close.

We seriously need to get Blind back to playing DCM. Remember, that's what he was before LVG deputised him at LB for the Holland squad. He's been stuck out there for years, then at CB with us. He needs to get a shot at a Carrick type of role for a run of matches (if he doesn't hurt us doing that). Shaw needs to get the same chance at LB, I think that'll sort out a few things.

He wasn't that good there for Van Gaal, though.

He played better in defence.
