It was hasty to make him captain and he hasn't done anything to actually prove me wrong.
Top level posting.
Just read those posts. Dear me. Why do some people watch football? Seems they would prefer the game to be played by robots.Now he is getting criticism for how disappointed he was after conceding a goal
Its how you look at it. If you want positive perspective then there is plenty. I see that he cares so much that the goal devastated him. I want that in every united player. I am sure some do but Harry showed his emotions. I have no issue with that. As a fan I felt connected because I was devastated too. The difference is I went numb but Harry the captain rose himself in next minute, won the team penalty and was leading the protest forcing ref to VAR it. Everything I look at it positively. I don't see an iota of negative manner in Harry's behavior as captain. But that's me.
It shows he cares so much about it and it means a lot to him. I don't know how you don't understand his reaction at all.
He went down like a sack of potatoes crying after conceding an equaliser but then he won a header from a corner and appealed strongly for a penalty which makes him a brilliant captain.
He's shown great leadership previously during his time here but today wasn't an example of that, I'm afraid.
This, if you think a hard fought victory is slipping in injury time its completely fine to show disappointment. There is plenty of worse reactions to a situations like that, like he could run over and bite the ref in the arse like Suarez would have done
I know hes fifa card is weak, but he offers a lot more in football. Its
I know he has a low pace on he's fifa card. He is still a good player in real life. If you can't see what he offers to our team, then you are missing out on a good player. =)
Edit. Half drunk reply. My bad.
Even robots can malfunction, the criticism of his reaction in that particular is incredibly stupid.
How about one that organises the defence and makes sure AWB is in position or gets someone to cover after the 3rd warning?
Yeah sure, it's on Maguire. How every player moves on the pitch should be controlled by Maguire because he "Organizes" defense.
Yes, Maguire is captain and should be shouting at his defenders to get into and keep their position. We got to 3 cup semi finals last season and lost them all because of bad defending. Whoever is coaching our defenders need to open their eyes.
No its on the leader of the defence to spot that and communicate. He clearly didnt instruct him, but if AWB ignores then thats not on Maguire. I would expect him to chew him out not hang his head.
Agree. Some of if must be tactical too
That poster won't even think that, all he can think of is it must be Maguire's fault. The guy is obsessed on blaming and discredit Maguire.
Yeah it's hilarious to see somehow Maguire getting all the blame. At least more creative than our midfielders.
Maguire, Lindelof and DDG, all three have some responsibility to organise the defence imo. But this is a guy lacking the basics. AWB didn’t run home in time leaving the CBs totally exposed, and when he was back in a more organised defence, he was totally out of position. You can only organise if a player has the basics.
Hes not getting all the blame. Someone is pointing out his lack of on field leadership of the defence in his performance thread and somehow that means hes getting all the blame hahahaha. Have you seen the AWB or Bruno thread?
So when we had second best defensive record, did you praise Maguire for his leadership?
He didnt show much leadership. I did praise him when he played well. But Ive never been impressed with his or DDG organisation of the defence
He probably had flashbacks to Greece.
This is reaching some serious levels of bs. Your rant would be understandable if it was 85th or 87th min. When we conceded it looked over. It was end of added time.
Mate, it’s hardly a rant. I just said that I don’t expect a United captain to fall to his knees like that in the face of an equalizer against Brighton, and everyone’s jumping on me as if I’d said that hitler was a good guy.
Fair enough. I also grew up in SAF era (made in 85) but I am very much awere that those are past times and I often catch myself overly romanticising over my memories. There were dire games in SAF era aswell. Difference is we are not in position of power anymore and we have more than a few steps to make to retain it.
This. He is an average to good CB. Not an 80M CB which should be getting you a world class one.
With regards to the first part, I probably haven't lowered my expectations to the degree that the people who are aggressively disagreeing with me have. I still expect our captain to act like the captains of old if our ambition is to get back to the top. Of course, it's fine for a captain to be mentally shot by a 95th minute equaliser, but then you're going to end up in and around 4th spot for eternity. And we paid £80m for that.
Probably a performance where you defend well as an individual and have a hand in 2 of the 3 goals we scored?
That's defending well? Standards have dropped so far.
No people just have a ridiculous agenda against him because of his price, apparently he’s fecking shite but our defence improved dramatically with him in the team, makes sense
He wasn't the only change when our defence improves.
