Despite that I thought it was a pretty quiet game from him, rarely had to stretch himself. Utd were well set up as a team defensively, the back 3 received excellent protection and Liverpool only really started to penetrate between the lines with Lallana and Keita on.Tweet

Ha, fair enough!Maguire was man of the match!
But the baby sitting part is ironic as that is the only weakness I see with him: he doesn’t always cover so well for his partners.
That was a shame, yeah. Hopefully, when fit, Tuanzebe gets a run of games next to him.Injured in warm up.
Rojo had my heart beating fast whenever the ball was near him.. I was waiting for one of his kamikaze playsThat was a shame, yeah. Hopefully, when fit, Tuanzebe gets a run of games next to him.

‘punditry’ is honestly at joke at this point. We get it Rafael, you don’t rate Maguire - it’s a game of opinions but honestly an ex-pro saying this about a seasoned international is beyond ridiculous.Tweet

This guy has a personal problem with Maguire, I remember Van der Vaart slating him this year after a game between England and Netherlands, talking about Maguire being the worst player on the pitch and stuff like that.Tweet

Ole's coaching has finally kicked in.He's not looking as confident as he was at the start of the season, same with AWB. Not doing really bad but i don't know, i expect a bit more.
I'd be surprised if Maguire wouldn't be playing left-sided centre back with Tuanzebe fit. That's the tactical setup that would make most sense, he's quick and can cover both Lindelof and Maguire, who are both decent helping the build up.One of the advantages of a back 3 is that the right and let centre backs can venture forward which Maguire excels at. Ole should play him there not in the middle.
He's been decent since he's come in. Looked great against Chelsea and decent since then. The defence looks much better equipped to play out from the back than it did before. Smalling in that sense was an absolute liability.Didn't watch the game tonight but I think he's well overrated. Not bad by any means but I don't notice any improvement in our defence with him in it over Smalling.
And yet Roma have the same 3 goals in 5 matches we do since Smalling joined. But with a better defensive record this seasonI'd be surprised if Maguire wouldn't be playing left-sided centre back with Tuanzebe fit. That's the tactical setup that would make most sense, he's quick and can cover both Lindelof and Maguire, who are both decent helping the build up.

I'm a huge fan and have defended him a lot in regards to the amount we spent on him, but even I have to admit he was poor last night.BBC had him MOTM. Caf say he shite
Looked nervy. As @Yagami says above, maybe the occasion got to him. So, shaky performance but not terrible.Actually thought he was good.
