Yup. Bizarre decision making. If Maguire is not confident about getting distance on the ball he should just put it into touch. He drops the ball into the danger area. Big no, no.
This. He's being saved by his £80m price tag and the fact the lad next to him is as soft as warm butter. When I think of United's best teams I don't believe Maguire would make the matchday squads. I'd take Wes Brown or David May over Maguire, Lindelof or any other centre back we have. 100%.
Agree. Poor header, but if one of those two had picked up Saint Maximin, then they wouldn't have scored.
We can and should make an upgrade on both him and Lindelof in the summer, without spending another transfer budget.
Hard to see Harry ever winning the league. Now Wes Morgan did it, so nothing is impossible but just very hard to see. I’d keep Lindelof, think he would be good if beside a competent partner.
Bailly is the opposite of a calming influence.
We'll probably keep both Harry and Linde, for a simple purpose of them being the only two CB's free of injuries.
That's true, however I can see why we want to avoid set pieces at all cost with De Gea in goal. It was a difficult ball to clear to be honest.
Of course there can. Not every defensive header can get out of the box and that was an awkward one. It was the lack of marking from his team-mates that screwed us. Nobody within 5 yards of their most dangerous player. How does that happen?!
I don’t remember a single headed clearance by lindelof today. That’s the reason Maguire had to do more.
Yes he made a mistake on the goal. Should have headed it out for a corner. That said your opening comments are way off bro!
And that's the other thing, he's playing with a defensive partner that avoids aerials and a keeper that doesn't come for crosses. Maguire is expected to cover everything within a huge patch of grass in the box. He generally does that very well and he still gets criticised if he occasionally looks a bit awkward doing it.
You surely also realised Martial was behind him with no man and a full view of the situation, didn’t say a fecking word.
It was not the first time we had 3 passive players watching the clearance go straight out to an opponent. It is annoying. That said, with his abilities this was a header he should have been able to direct better imo. I blame mostly the passive team mates, but also him.
I would say unbelievable but it’s not though is it? It’s quite typical.
I’ve watched it again and again after you posted just to see if I can see the “awkwardness” of that header. I tried but can’t.
That is brilliant, can't believe I missed that
.Have a look at the Van Dijk thread. Ever since they signed him there’s a bunch of posts trying to claim it’s his fault after every goal Liverpool concede, if he’s even vaguely involved. The fact that people who don’t rate him on here are trying to blame him for every goal we concede means feck all.
It's too low for the officials to care about. This is just the ABUs trying to denigrate our season.
He is a decent player but my god "goal threat" is right. His accuracy when he gets into decent heading positions is atrocious. He should be scoring 6 or 7 a season with the amount of headers he wins from corners yet he has the same number of goals as Wan Bissaka this season.
