I swear this is at least the third time I have seen this comment from you today. Enough already.80 million people for a player too slow to cover for any danger he never sees coming anyway .
Get used to that all season

You can tell young was probably saying 'pssst, pass it here'
I loved it.There's no way in hell that a player who shouldn't really need to cover is at fault as opposed to a player who's job is to header the ball but has misjudged.
What did you all think when he directed the freekick and demanded lindelof take it? Young and Lindelof were bamboozled and looked headless.
YepI just watched the first goal again and what the feck was he doing ? He was literally in no man's land there, not guarding anyone or covering for anything. He should have been closer the player who scored in case Lindelof missed the header because it's totally possible.
I like him but that should never happen again.
Was it Schlupp that scored the goal? No it wasn't, he did no more than win a 50/50 in the air so do one with your garbage commentEven worse? Come on. Schlupp is 5ft9. No centre back on earth should be losing that header. Maguire's positioning and tracking of Ayew was poor, but worse than Lindelof losing a header against someone significantly smaller than him? Garbage.
That is not a 50/50 header. It is a 100/0 that CB should and needs to win. Maguire could do more but Lindelof just needs to win that header.Was it Schlupp that scored the goal? No it wasn't, he did no more than win a 50/50 in the air so do one with your garbage comment
Sorry but the blame is mostly on Linda for being soft as pig shit. A proper centre half clears the ball and player outWas it Schlupp that scored the goal? No it wasn't, he did no more than win a 50/50 in the air so do one with your garbage comment
Don't know what's more laughable your perception of percentages or the fact that Lindelof gets should/needs to do better but Maguire gets away with a couldThat is not a 50/50 header. It is a 100/0 that CB should and needs to win. Maguire could do more but Lindelof just needs to win that header.
Both could do better, but Maguire was having to cover the initial error from Linda, something that may well improve with greater understanding. But Linda was so poor on the header and deserves stick. Frankly, both players are way below the standard we are accustomed to. Maguire and AWB cost £130m combined, £160m if you chuck Linda in.

Ignore covering for a potential mistake, what about tracking the unmarked runner? Like I said I don't just blame Maguire for this I blame every defender and every central midfielder who isn't Lindelof for that and ultimately that's what cost the goal - Lindelof looses his header but if just one of his 3/4 team mates who should be around him are clocked on the goal doesn't happen (I say just one but I'm being kind at least 2 should have been aware of the eventual goalscorer)Both could do better, but Maguire was having to cover the initial error from Linda, something that may well improve with greater understanding.

It was piss poor across the board, I agree. It just sticks in the throat a bit with Lindelof because his lameness on losing the header was typical of how bloody soft he is. A proper imposing defender just wipes the danger out before all the subsequent feckery ensuesIgnore covering for a potential mistake, what about tracking the unmarked runner?

I never said it was Schlupp that scored the goal? I'm saying that a centre back losing a header against someone much smaller than him is much worse than a centre back not covering for another centre backs mistake.Was it Schlupp that scored the goal?

When the ball is in the air, a 5ft9 winger challenging a 6ft2 centre half, that shouldn't be considered 50/50. You'd expect the centre back to have the significant advantage, both in height, strength and generally being better at heading the ball and winning aerial duels.
Both were poor for the goal, but Lindelofs contribution to the goal is by far the worst part.
Standout performer against ChelseaWhat’s the general conclusion on Harry so far?
At the moment, we’re ticking along and haven’t really missed him.
He’s been a clear upgrade on what we had before hand.What’s the general conclusion on Harry so far?

Definitely adds a different element in transitional play and a great defender but the issue is the next phase of our attack and our unit defensively still has glaring weaknesses in Shaw and Lindelof. Even De Gea is looking shaky.What’s the general conclusion on Harry so far?

A very expensive, slight upgrade. But he has been our best CB this season so far and easily soWhat’s the general conclusion on Harry so far?

I really like him and I can see what he brings already. A constant problem of our team is balance and I do wonder if he could do with a quicker centre back beside him, although I like Lindelof, he's just not very quick or good in the air.What’s the general conclusion on Harry so far?

Yes it's worse. Maguire is doing a rookie mistake, he should always calculate with that duel as lost.Even worse? Come on. Schlupp is 5ft9. No centre back on earth should be losing that header. Maguire's positioning and tracking of Ayew was poor, but worse than Lindelof losing a header against someone significantly smaller than him? Garbage.
To be fair, he had a cock-up that lead to a goal as well. He also had a back pass that almost lead to a one-on-one against Wolves, where DDG bailed him out. He's been solid for the most part, but seems strange to claim individual errors from others are making it hard for him.Very happy with him. He can do feck all when his own counterparts makes silly mistakes like that.
Lindeloff,Shaw and DDG .
Schlupp had the momentum going into that duel. That's not to say Lindelöf couldn't have done better, but there's bit more to it than "Victor is taller, should win by default." He was jumping from a standstill, Schlupp had a run-up, effectively negating Lindelöf's height advantage. Anyone with even a basic understanding of, you know, jumping should be able to recognize that. Maguire mistake is just as bad. He sees Ayew making his run, lightly jogging himself, and doesn't actually start running until after Schlupp wins the aerial.Even worse? Come on. Schlupp is 5ft9. No centre back on earth should be losing that header. Maguire's positioning and tracking of Ayew was poor, but worse than Lindelof losing a header against someone significantly smaller than him? Garbage.
Tell that to Shaw who continued after getting injured. If the ball was to Zaha , he would have torn Shaw into a new one and we would still be blaming Harry for not covering him.To be fair, he had a cock-up that lead to a goal as well. He also had a back pass that almost lead to a one-on-one against Wolves, where DDG bailed him out.

It doesn't look like he's covering for Shaw. I think he just didn't see that coming and totally lost his position. These things happen.Maguire's intention is probably to cover Shaw who's injured while he also expected both Lindelof & Bissaka to communicate who's marking who. It has nothing to do with Maguire's responsibility. If you play football especially in midfield or defense then you should know this is a basic defending in football. Both Palace players are on our right side, it's common sense that both Lindelof & Bissaka are the ones who responsible for it
