I have always said Ole shouldn’t have ever got the job and should have been sacked after Villarreal last season at the latest.
I have never rated him as manager from the start.
Maguire is quality in the right system if you don’t expose his flaws. I don’t mind if he leaves and we sign a more pacey CB. You might be correct.
The lack of pace worries me as we want to push up the field more in the coming years. He’s a better player than Lindelof but this also means he’s sure not a squad player.
So hes a quality defender if you dont expose his flaws? Yes he was good for 2 seasons, but that was when the league was a mess and everyone was dropping points and struggling.
What are his good qualities? Im not saying hes totally useless but he isnt 80m first team material, decent on the ball most of the time but lacks pace, leadership and organisational skills. His positioning has been suspect for a while now, I mean he placed himself in Greece in the summer and never recovered from that.
Im not saying its all Maguires fault, hes being picked when not fit and when hes out of form and struggling his way through games, his celebration against the mighty Albania is what irked me and the rest of the United supporters. Why do that all?Its not as if you have scored the winning goal in a World cup final and you can silence your critics, it was the first of 5 goals in a training match.
Low 5 to Ole going off, didnt deserve that at all, Ole should have blanked him. His 2 yellow cards both mistakes by him, 2nd goal nowhere near the defender and his effort to block it was a token gesture. Speaking against the Manager last week saying theyve lost faith as well. He is not captain material, you have the manager and players backs no matter what, even last season when there was a red card against Spurs for Martial, Maguire was hiding the other side of the box and didnt want to be involved.
