Stop with that zonal marking excuse already. Ball went straight in 6yard box near Maguire. We have "best defender in air" in PL and he doesn't even jump on that cross.
I agree, but that was the first game from lockdown. Almost every player struggled that game. There has to be some leeway.
Sometimes I wonder if fans actually watch the game or rival fan pages?
Well obviously when you pay 80 million, he should come with superman and spider man skill sets. I mean how can he not head the ball by somehow throwing himself infront of Matic and Southampton player.
There's literally no excuse. Do you think he's go go gadget man or something? The ball is flicked on before it gets anywhere near him.
Well, it is £80m so that is the least we should expect.. he is the best header of the ball, at least teleport to where the ball is going.
Ok, i can abide by "first game after lockdown" but what's the excuse for Stanislas and other times he got turned throughout the season?
I know that me and you often have different opinion but i don't know what is so funny here.
No point discussing with him. He is firmly in the Anti-Maguire camp and sucks Lindelöf's dick at every opportunity. More and more agenda posters on the caf these days unfortunately.
Very nice language. Thanks.
Maguire is one of the best in PL at heading the ball, doesn't mean he can head every ball which is everywhere. Check the goal again and see how is it even possible for Maguire to get infront of Matic and Southampton player when it takes less than a second for ball to reach from corner to Southampton player.
Boredom at work leads to frustration and then using bad language on here. Good thing is i have a new job in a couple of months.
No problem.
Surely boredom won't stop you from apologising, right? I mean by doing so you will kill some time and combat you're boredom issues.
There is no excuse, our CB should not be getting beat like that. The nutmeg is acceptable but to let him go past you is criminal.
Seems that way unfortunately
The delivery was away from his zone and he was out of the game the moment the ball was flicked on. That goal is the perfect way to figure out those that doesn't have a clue.
Yeah, they watched the match and used all their match-watching experience to conclude that Maguire was marking Wan-Bissaka.
You will always have a difference in opinion. I've seen people blame DDG, Matic, Maguire and Lindelof for that goal. If I have to pick one to blame, that would be Lindelof, he let a smaller man out muscle him and he tried to clear the ball with his left leg, instead with his right one.
I don't agree at all, you're talking fractions of a second where you have to judge the flight of the ball and make your mind up.
There is no point getting into the blame game on the corner, it was a collective mistake rather than individual one to me. The delivery was great, Lindelof is not expecting it to get to the back post at that height, maybe if Brandon was on the pitch we would have had an extra body in the back post but anyway, it was a great ball into the box.
Just few twitter troll accounts.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel using whoscored ratings.
Makes sense tbh. Seems like they have to sensationalise everything or make a big deal of something just to get a few likes or retweets.
I never said that it is only his fault or that is even somebody's fault. It was just bad defending all around. Matic lost duel in air in the beggining and Lindelof's reaction at the end was pretty bad and if i must choose one player who is most "guilty" it would be Lindelof.Seems that way unfortunately
@Andycoleno9 Would you like to answer? I'm interested to see with the video evidence whether you still think it's Maguire's fault.
I didn't say he was marking wan Bissaka also most people are saying it as a joke because that's what it looks like on the video. But from most people's standpoint he didn't read the situation well at all and went for a ball he was never going to win instead of reading the game and anticipating the situation which is what he should of been doing.
Ah, those 3 words. Hardest sentence to say in today's society.
As elusive as most of attackers are to our very own Harry.
Lots of it's and but's for sure but some are more at blame than others.
The defensive organization was terrible, but Maguire almost always defends the centre of our six yard box. There was nothing to read there, the ball went to the front post and was flicked on to the back post, both of which Maguire was not responsible for.
The Bournemouth striker makes contact with the ball with his foot not his head. If maguire doesn't push forward to attack the ball he is in a perfect position to head it away. But instead he misreads the flight of the ball and goes out of that area which he would have been in a perfect position to clear from.
That's why we pay loads of money to hire scouts. Their job is to judge and predict whether players from smaller leagues are good enough to become one of us, not simply giving some big names whom everyone here has already known. We brought in Vidic from Spartak Moscow for 7m, we signed Evra from Monaco for 5.5m, no one knew how well they would do but the history speaks for itself. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, but either way it still does less harm than going all in for a mediocre defender.
Yes, you an scout and I agree with that to some extent. Yes we bought Vidic and Evra and they done very well. Have you forgotten the Djemba Djemba, Kleberson, Obertan, Bebe as well?
The set-up was terrible no doubt, but Maguire's defending was not responsible for the goal. I've seen a few pin the goal squarely on him.
Is anyone saying it’s all Maguire fault? There is a catalogue of errors in that one bit. Rashford getting beat, Matic not winning the header, Maguire being out of position marking Bissaka, Lindelof being the wrong side of his man. They are all at fault. No one is more at fault than the other.
It's not surprising because it's not as easy to find a top centre back as people seem to think. Every one of those players listed you will find mistakes if analysed by the same standards as Maguire is here.
This. We literally look at every goal looking for faults from Maguire and Lindelof. Every goal conceded, if you look that much in detail like the caf does, every goal will be a mistake.
