Sorry I didn't get this?You can’t not cover your CB partner

He's blaming Maguire for not covering Lindelof after he put in that poor attempt at a headerSorry I didn't get this?
And rightly so.He's blaming Maguire for not covering Lindelof after he put in that poor attempt at a header
I’m curious to see how he gets on in Italy to be honest, him (and Sanchez) are still technically United players.Shouldn’t this be closed
Maguire should have covered yes, thats a mistake after Lindelof's first mistake. So no Maguire isnt to blame. They both are but Lindelof made the mistake firstAnd rightly so.
Im blaming them bothHe's blaming Maguire for not covering Lindelof after he put in that poor attempt at a header
Every goal we concede for the whole season will now be analysed in the Smalling thread as to how he would have stopped the opposition scoring despite how shite he was when he was here.Shouldn’t this be closed
Don't even rate Victor that much but all of a sudden people have forgotten how bad smalling was. Comments on here would suggest he's been great for us but in reality he wasn't that much better than the other trash we have.
Tuanzebe.So before Maguire came along, who was our best CB if not him?
The guy on loan in the championship...Tuanzebe.
Lindelof challenged for a header. That’s not a mistake. It’s weak and he certainly doesn’t cover himself in glory, but the mistake is in not covering for someone who is challenging in the air. I think Maguire at least thought initially that Lindelof had a free header so didn’t tuck in and just reacted far too late, while Wan-Bissaka was most at fault as his man went up for the challenge and he didn’t react at all.Maguire should have covered yes, thats a mistake after Lindelof's first mistake.

The mistake is challenging for a header you arent even trying to win. If he wants to try and win the header he has to do a lot better. And if he thinks he cant win it despite being against someone shorter than him, at the very least he can hold his ground and make it hard for him the make the header where he wants it.Lindelof challenged for a header.

This.This has turned into a weird thread i was always critical of Smalling but 90% seemed to back him. Now it's as if 90% always hated him.
He was a good defender and very good in the air it was the only rest of his play that made him ill suited.
If Lindelof does his job it never gets to that. Just win the simple header against a midget. Not difficultYou can’t not cover your CB partner
This.
I don't think its to outrageous to say if smalling could play ball like maguire could he would be one of the best defenders in the league, possibly the world, because he can defend.
I don't disagree, but he should still be covering. You always cover your other CBIf Lindelof does his job it never gets to that. Just win the simple header against a midget. Not difficult
Jeez, can't even make an innocent joke playing on the hype slowly building around Tuanzebe without you riding in to defend Smalling.The guy on loan in the championship...
Whats more likely, lots of experienced first team managers picking Smalling because he's a good CB or you, some guy on the internet who wants to pretend Smalling isnt a good CB is being an idiot?
I'll go with the latter.
He’s the gatekeeper of all things Chris Smalling. It’s like a sixth sense for him he can sniff out Smalling criticism in any thread.Jeez, can't even make an innocent joke playing on the hype slowly building around Tuanzebe without you riding in to defend Smalling.
Turns out jokes need to be funny. Happy to helpJeez, can't even make an innocent joke playing on the hype slowly building around Tuanzebe without you riding in to defend Smalling.
It clearly wasn't a good joke, but it was an obvious one. It's pretty funny that you immediately jumped to the defense of Smalling, though. You must really care for him.Turns out jokes need to be funny. Happy to help
Not hard in the Chris Smalling thread though I guess.He’s the gatekeeper of all things Chris Smalling. It’s like a sixth sense for him he can sniff out Smalling criticism in any thread.
I haven't said anything like that bold part, was just laughing at the overrating of smalling.... as you said 10 times the defender .As a pure out and out defender Smalling is miles better than Lindlof. Surely that's not still up for debate?
You could argue Lindlof ads more to the team with his passing etc or even his personality (I don't agree on these points but I can see why people would think it) but saying Victor isn't a much worse defender?
I was defending reason itself. A player playing for a championship club obviously wasnt our best CB. That doesnt mean that Smalling wasIt clearly wasn't a good joke, but it was an obvious one.

Hey there, no not at all, be my guest and check out the multiple other threads where he talks about Smalling. HTHNot hard in the Chris Smalling thread though I guess.
Other clubs have also seen that.. why would they try to get Phil Jones if they can get a much more reliable player in Chris Smalling?I would have let Phil Jones go instead of him. Smalling was our most reliable CB in the past 6 seasons.
Yes. He shat his pants sometimes but still the most reliable. Which brings us back to the question We all know - What the feck Were We doing?
Its a weird decision. Ole picked him last season over several players that are still here. He defends well.Other clubs have also seen that.. why would they try to get Phil Jones if they can get a much more reliable player in Chris Smalling?
Clubs want Smalling.. nobody wants Phil 'perma injured and brainfart waiting to happen' Jones
Serious question, are you a Roma fan now?I was defending reason itself. A player playing for a championship club obviously wasnt our best CB. That doesnt mean that Smalling was
Nah, more a case that nobody wanted Rojo and Jones and the fact that we apparently priced Rojo out of a move. Smalling is definitely the best of an extremely shite bunch so naturally there was actual interest in him.Its a weird decision. Ole picked him last season over several players that are still here. He defends well.
I feel like he's been pressurised to get a CB off the wage book. Just doesnt make sense otherwise when he's clearly better than Jones, Bailly and Rojo.
The weird decision was renewing Jones contract. We always needed someone off the books, probably 2 tbh when Maguire came in and we can only move on players who other clubs are interested in.Its a weird decision. Ole picked him last season over several players that are still here. He defends well.

Muscle injury. Wouldn't have started anyway.Is he injured? Wasn't in the squad.
