Actually Nostradamus
I feel like any one of a thousand centre-backs could do what he does for us. So pathetically passive.
Sums him up for me, he's not a player who should be a definite starter if he's fit.Standard Lindelof, nothing particularly memorable, good or bad, and not much of an impact in the game, you think he is ok but his teams keep conceding goals.
I agree with this too, and it's a classic mistake that Lindelof makes all the time. Maguire then needs to assume that his partner is going to feck up so it doesn't excuse him, but I don't think Lindelof really has an appetite for defending. He's well drilled and takes up a lot of good performances on the pitch, but he has not got that desire to sniff things out and take responsibility.Seems to be getting a free pass for the first goal but I thought he was the most culpable. I thought him swinging a leg and pulling out at the last split second was what put Maguire off
I thought he was broadly okay... But that bit of "defending" for the Mahrez shot pissed me off no end. Back of and then show him on his left foot and give him space to shoot?!His shit backpedaling on every attack alone should make him nowhere near being an automatic starter.
Agree with this. The pair of them bottled it. Maguire takes a bigger hit because he wears the strap. Keane, Neville, Rio, Vidic or even Wayne Rooney crack that into our net inadvertently rather than let it go past 5 red shirts and nicely onto the fecking thigh of a blue shirt.Along with Maguire, I'd rather see him score an own goal than let a ball go through. The first goal never should have happened unless it was one of our defenders scoring it. They both let it go. I understand why as it was a great ball and tough to deal with. But take the risk and try and clear it. I will forgive an own goal if trying to do the right thing. Can't forgive our defenders for letting a ball go that's there to be won...
He didn't but sure someone has to be blamed.Decent performance. Really don't think he did much wrong today.
no one bottled it. Ridiculous terminology.Agree with this. The pair of them bottled it. Maguire takes a bigger hit because he wears the strap.

In the words of Fabian Delph, we're talking about the absolute basics of football. Between 5 players, not one of them put a head or foot near the ball nor made an effort to do so. I call that bottling when it effectively loses the game - and more so when 2 of those 5 players are your first choice centre backs.no one bottled it. Ridiculous terminology.
Saying Maguire takes more blame because he wears the arm band doesn't sit right with me when they both did the same thing. If anything, I'd give more heat to Lindelof for being the first to let it go...Agree with this. The pair of them bottled it. Maguire takes a bigger hit because he wears the strap.

I agree. He's such a coward of a center back. Reminds me of the few times he actually dodged headers.Seems to be getting a free pass for the first goal but I thought he was the most culpable. I thought him swinging a leg and pulling out at the last split second was what put Maguire off
We will take the own goal as long as he tried. Thats what matters.I usually complain about him but if he put his leg up on that cross, it was definitely going to be an own goal.
Don't be so sure of that with how much Ole favours Victor sadlyHe leaves those around him with far too much to do. Didn't do enough to retain the spot. Bailly definitely returns against Burnley if fit.
I always get this feeling as well. Not lose but I know we will concede. Then it depends on how well our attack can play.Knew we'd lose as soon as I saw hes playing.
Medium density fibreboard?How this MDF man plays ahead of CHRIS SMALLING let alone Eric Bailly, I have no idea.
