Aye, those praising him highly have only ever watched him in one solitary game.Excellent debut but let's not get carried away. A players' worth cannot be decided on basis of one solitary game.

Yup, let's hope it continues. Having a player of Maguire's calibre alongside Lindelöf clearly benefits The Iceman as well. We could be on to something good here.Best CB performance by a United CB since the days of Rio and Vidic
If today was the standard then he'll have the same impact for us that VVD had for Liverpool
Yeah a captain on the pitch already. This guy will lead us to a league title before he’s done. I have no doubti loved the fact after the 3rd goal he joined the celebrations with what looked like a team talk for the lads, maybe Lindelof will learn from him, harry is without the best in the league with headers

Are we now trying to pretend that opinion on Maguire were always this consistent? He had a fantastic match but once again we need to reign ourselves in. Folks could learn a bit or two from what Maguire himself said post-match.Aye, those praising him highly have only ever watched him in one solitary game.
I hope you're right.Yeah a captain on the pitch already. This guy will lead us to a league title before he’s done. I have no doubt
Noticed this too! Captain material.During the celebration of the first goal I noticed his instructing the players and speaking to them like a leader and captain.
He will be great
”Pretend”... no no no. For many of us, the opinion on Maguire has always been this consistent, abso-fecking-lutely.Are we now trying to pretend that opinion on Maguire were always this consistent?
Streets aheadThat's a bit premature, very solid player but VVD's streets ahead of him.
It felt like he held himself back sometimes. Maybe smart when you're leading the game.Good debut, not many of his driving runs but was composed and looked confident and in control of the back 4.
You’d think VVD was god the way people go no about him.Streets ahead
What's up with Caf and hyperboles. Seems like people have lost the ability so assess things without going over the top.
Aye, VVD was (rightfully) seen as going for a fairly ridiculous price at the time - but Liverpool were desperate and just needed to address their defensive problems whatever way they possibly could. But in retrospect he's been much better than anyone could've expected him to be.Neville made an excellent point today. People like to point out he cost more than VVD, but if VVD was sold today? He would cost about £150m so its hardly comparable
He looked like a leader today. Has potential to be one for us, fingers crossed.Finally a CB who doesn't get nervous while having the ball in his feet. A joy to watch. Goodbye Smalling and Jones era.
