Looked a shell of a man. Hope he finds his form because he is a fantastic defender when playing well (despite the hysteria and hyperbole here).
His confidence is definitely low. Doesn't help when his own supporters are yelling at himAlways good to reserve criticism but I thought he looked comfortably worse than Lindelof and Varane when he came on. His confidence looks really low at the moment
He's been very good for us too. He's had some bad form this year and he's been scapegoated a lot, but the thing is, if people look for the bad, they will find it. I'm sure there are many who are blaming Maguire for their goal today. I just don't understand why so many people absolutely hate him. I could hear our supporters yelling at him today from the stands. What is that going to do? Support him. He's our player.
No he's not. Simple as thatHe is our worst defender...simple as that
All hands to the pump. Maguire is coming on. We are going to sink. We are doomed.Panic stations as soon as he comes on. A liability. Lindelof and Varane need to be first choice.
So Maguire holding his fingers to his ears is enough to make his own supporters hate him and yell at him when he's playing for the team we support? If that's the case then it sounds like he's not the problem
Probably this. At least for me. This guy actually thought he had shut his critics up after receiving criticisms for his Manchester United display with a goal for England against part time footballers.
He is right now.No he's not. Simple as that
Agree. He is better than JonesNo he's not. Simple as that
He is fitter than Jones. Better? HmmmmmmAgree. He is better than Jones
Language barrier was the point.Never got this, as if a footballer needs to recite Shakespeare on the pitch. He needs to know twenty words or phrases and set an example by his performance, which Valencia did.
He's had bad form and he's been scapegoated a lot. To get back to form having his own supporters swearing at him isn't going to helpHe is right now.
He was never brilliant for usI totally agree.
His problem is he needs to be match fit to get back to his best. His best is very good. He does have problems with bad form (especially this year but it’s happened before as well) usually after being out of the team for a bit and it takes him a long while to get properly up to speed.
Nobody came out of the last few months with much credit and he has certainly been part of the problem. I hope he gets phased back in carefully and I think RR is doing the right thing so far.
Again, though, he has been brilliant for us at times and I think it’s a shame people have forgotten that already. I think he’ll be back and is probably here to stay.
He needs to play a lot better. It's the bottom line to get back the supporters. There is no other way.He's had bad form and he's been scapegoated a lot. To get back to form having his own supporters swearing at him isn't going to help
That gesture means that he thinks he was criticised for no reason. And it made me angry at least. It’s ok to underperform but step one in order to improve is to admit it.So Maguire holding his fingers to his ears is enough to make his own supporters hate him and yell at him when he's playing for the team we support?

Zero mobility and runs with a caravan on his back. I really don’t know what you are trying to debate here. He’s a Leicester City defender at best.He's had bad form and he's been scapegoated a lot. To get back to form having his own supporters swearing at him isn't going to help
Maguire has needed a reality check for a very long time. Either he copes or he doesn't. Solskjaer tried playing him through various issues and ultimately lost his job as a direct consequence. It turns out that providing first choice players with a supportive environment and a guaranteed place in the team leads to complacency.He's had bad form and he's been scapegoated a lot.

I agree that he has to take his chance when it comes. What I don't like is our supporters yelling at him and scapegoating him. He's marked down here as the worst player tonight. That's a bunch of BS. The only way he will ever play his way back into the team is if the supporters allow him to. Too many make their minds up before he touches a ballMaguire has needed a reality check for a very long time. Either he copes or he doesn't.

I'd much rather we give Bailly and even Jones, playing time than a woefully out of form Maguire.
Maguire should wait for his opportunity then perform brilliantly when he next gets a chance, if he wants to get back in the team on a regular basis.
No it doesn't. Holding your ear to listen means that. He's plugging his ears, which means he's not listening to the criticism, which he obviously is. His confidence is shot and our supporters should try and lift him, not knock him down furtherThat gesture means that he thinks he was criticised for no reason. And it made me angry at least. It’s ok to underperform but step one in order to improve is to admit it.
Ronaldo got booed at Real Madrid - as supporters we need to create an environment where these players (that are paid millions) don't rest on their laurels, cheering them when they're playing crap is one of the many reasons why we're stuck with overpriced and overpaid players.His confidence is definitely low. Doesn't help when his own supporters are yelling at him
Youre painting a picture of him as a massive fanny who should be shippedNo it doesn't. Holding your ear to listen means that.

Never happens. Unless the Captain leaves the field at the same time.Lowkey when he came on, interesting that he didn't take the captain's armband either.
Definitely agree with this, they suit the high line better. Maguire doesn't offer much apart from sticking his giant noggin on aerial balls.Honestly I like Varane and Lindelof as a partnership more than him being there somewhere.
Dang. Can we all pretend as Liverpool fans and hurling abuse on Van Dijk social media? That would turn him shite.He's mentally shot. Just like Rashford. Doesnt help the abuse they gets online from 'fans'
Ragnick is doing the right thing to not play them and ease them back in.
Are you sure? I am 99% sure I saw him wearing it in a close up before a corner.Lowkey when he came on, interesting that he didn't take the captain's armband either.
Nah I wish he was sold for 10 million or free actually. He doesn’t make our squad any better than Jones does and Jones never plays.Firstly, Maguire is much better than the haters on this forum portray him to be. He significantly improved our defence when he signed. He's been a good player for the club. Secondly, and most relevantly, he is in horrible form at the moment, and seemingly surrounded by people who are more interested in shouting "I told you so", than seeing him succeed. He was clearly never worth 80M. It was a preposterous fee then, and it remains a preposterous fee to this day. But the money is spent. It's gone. It'll never be recouped. He's a part of the squad, and I would say a valuable one. It doesn't mean I would pick him, because both Varane and Lindelof are probably better individually, and better suited to our style of play. But anyone rejoicing in his terrible form, and using it as yet another stick to beat the club, just needs to see that they are as much a p[art of the problem as the fecking board. I've never heard Maguire complain, talk shit, or do anything but try his best. The rest is just fan fiction in the minds of keyboard warriors.
Personally, I hope he comes back to form, because that just makes our squad stronger.
The exact same logic applies to Rashford. People are just lining up to call him shit, and tell him to feck off. When he is one of the best talents to come out of our youth academy in the last two decades. At least Mason can see what he's in line for in about two years.
There is seriously way too much toxicity, mainly from people who have accomplished nothing themselves.
Some of our fans are embarrassing. Get a more balanced opinion from opposition fans.No he's not. Simple as that
Why and what exactly is embarrassing in opinion that Varane, Lindelof and Bailly are better than Maguire (no matter is it true or not)?Some of our fans are embarrassing. Get a more balanced opinion from opposition fans.
