No we hope he’s off in the summer. No one will take him off us, especially with his wages.

Lot of people are saying this but when Martinez came on, he was finding a good forward ball regularly. Maguire's passing is way too slow. That was a much bigger problem than the movement of the midfield 2.Nearly gave them a goal on a plate with a silly error and his passing was ridiculously slow which put everybody who received it under pressure.
I don't think he was helped by Fred and Sabitzer though. Weren't really showing for the ball. But Harry is always slow with his decisions too.
That's why I was making the point that Harry's decision making and passing is always too slow. It's not just the other personnel of course, it's a theme with him.Lot of people are saying this but when Martinez came on, he was finding a good forward ball regularly.

He was alright. Clearly not a starter or suited to ETH style of play though.
Not sure how else they could’ve reacted, Captain Maguire was initially dropped after some appalling performances as was Lindelöf who incidentally wasn’t much better. This was off the back of some of the worst results we’d had for years, including a truly embarrassing 5-0 thumping against Liverpool at home, 4-1at Brentford, a dire game against Leicester then getting dumped out the of UCL by Atletico.I think both Maguire and lindelof deserve credit for their responses at essentially being told they aren’t good enough to start anymore. No dressing room leaks, no indication that they are throwing the toys out the pram, both of them look engaged in the bench and happy to celebrate when we score/win and they don’t contribute… and when they do come on, they are putting in decent performances. They simply have one of the best defensive partnerships in world football to try and break up, which won’t happen, but I admire both their attitudes all things considered.

He bid for Fred too.It’s crazy to think Pep Guardiola put a bid in for him.
It’s crazy to think arguably our worst player in our best available squad is actually our captain.It’s crazy to think Pep Guardiola put a bid in for him.
It’s very strange.He bid for Fred too.
I don't see him here next season at all.I shit myself every time he’s on the ball.
I watch him then I watch Varane and it’s ike chalk and cheese. I think there’s every chance he’ll be gone in the summer.
I used to like Maguire, now I watch Martinez and wonder why
I’ve defended him at times but that was abysmal. Some of those passes
He takes way too long to pick a pass so that by the time he does it the receiver is under pressure or the angle has gone. It’s ridiculous how much he dithers.
Martinez has made me question why the club put up with Lindelof and Maguire. Can’t believe the difference an aggressive centre back makes to the team. We had two scared pups in the defence before he came along
We are just terrible at playing out with him on the field we were getting dusted at the beginning of the second half and the stats popped up saying we had well more possession, that was just him and Shaw passing to each other continuesly then losing it.Why does he ballhog so much and invite the press closer and closer? Just look up and pass it man
Raise your standards mate. He was nowhere near good.I thought he was good today but I also don’t think we were going to win that match until Martinez came on and took over the distribution. There’s also nearly always a big mistake in Harry in tight games.
Fingers crossed. I think he's hopeless for us but do feel bad for him. He seems a decent enough bloke that's just lost all confidence. He's so poor at the mo though.In the right team he'll look decent.
They'll be plenty of teams after him in the summer I reckon.
