Do you think Maguire is a better CB than De Vrij, Skriniar, Varane, Dias?van der vaart and the haters will never explain how a bad, awful, pathetic defender like maguire was nominated for the best euros XI
did van der vaart make it into a best euro XI ?
maguire just needs a better midfield in front of him and he will be back to his best 2020-21 form
Does the WC even have a team of the tournament
Overall its the same picture. Better passing, reading of play, positioning from Lindelöf. Stronger physics and better aerial from Maguire. This is also why Maguire is better for us under the defensive negative type of football we played under Ole and Lindelöf is much better for us if we want to play modern progressive football.
Lindelöf can’t get tight and physical to save his life.
Thats what I said. But he reads the game much better and usually interrupts play alot better.
There were 2. A dream team and and all star one. Google gave me a fan made one. Blind and the Costa Rican I mentioned aren't in the best XI.Does the WC even have a team of the tournament
Just because Lindelof runs away from attacker doesn't mean he has better positioning and intercepts well. He is just passive defender.
Thats just silly when he has more interruptions that Maguire. If anything I wish Maguire would run away more when he has the ball instead of running towards the striker and loosing it again and again.
Who did the ”all star” one? I can’t find any team of the tournament for World Cups.
Erm… more than anything a high pressing game demands defenders that get incredibly tight and physical. Ragnick himself comments on how important that is, because a defender who backs off and is more passive is a disaster waiting to happen.
So the answer is no.
You need movement and the ability to switch direction swiftly. The exact opposite of Maguire who moves like a tanker.
Lindelof averages 1.14 interceptions per 90 mins for ManUtd.
That’s not what RR says, and Mats Hummels for what it’s worth can do neither.
Wait this is literally factually completely incorrect. To date VDV career far exceeds maguire. In fact it's not even remotely comparable.
Nonsense - VDV is a story of wasted talent, highly rated youth who failed in his big move to Real and then a journeyman who never settled anywhere
That's such a stupid take. El Hadji Diouf was in the WC 2002 All Star team.van der vaart and the haters will never explain how a bad, awful, pathetic defender like maguire was nominated for the best euros XI

Not remotely comparable? He's just a shit Eriksen
I'd have saved us the best part of £100m buying him for £15m and not Lindelof from when that thread started.
Van der Vaart was far better than Eriksen. Don't be silly.
So….he’s shit then
Once again, that’s a mathematical model built by a petrol company.
Was he? I thought VDB flattered to deceive, a very average footballer.
Did you not see the video posted in this thread? Its basically 10 minutes of watching De gea screaming abuse at Maguire for being shit.van der vaart and the haters will never explain how a bad, awful, pathetic defender like maguire was nominated for the best euros XI

Like De Gea can talk.
He was just lazy and his type of player became obsolete early in his career, but especially until he was 24-25 he was absolutely brilliant. He just never made the final step to being truly world class, but neither did Eriksen.
Recently? Yes. Yes he can.
He still looked good in that tournament
Can he feck, still superglued to his line.
He looked a real talent at Ajax, but never did anything in a top league to justify the early hype. Based on their Premier League spells, I think the Dane was clearly more impressive.
VdV has called Maguire shit for years, rightly so too. He’s really not the guy to pin these “revisionist” or “knocking Harry when is down” allegations. He’s always been consistent with his assessment of Maguire hence him prefacing it with “I’ve spoken about him too much, I try to avoid speaking on this guy these days”
Vlar was it? The Dutch CB from Villa that was part of the World Cup final squad? Prefer him as the example since Blind has been quality and continued to shine even in the CL
