Stopped reading after the the first paragraph. You obviously only saw what you wanted to see. If you actually watched you would have seen the NONE OF THE LEEDS PLAYERS WERE CLOSING DOWN ANY OF OUR DEFENDERS, NOT JUST MAGUIRE. Sorry for yelling. Their 3 forwards were sitting in back of 3. Once a defender would pass the ball they would then close down the midfielder. This happened whether it was Maguire passing, Shaw passing, or any other defender passing. In fact, they kept up quite an impressive half press for 60-70 minutes of the game before running out of steam. But go on...tell me again how it was all Maguire and me thinking you have an agenda is nonsense

Or you'd think that if Maguire was as shite as everyone seems to think they would just press him. Interesting how they didn't do that. In fact, they didn't press any of our defenders. Hmmm...
Why???
So what rating did you give Maguire yesterday and what rating did you give Varane midweek?
When their forwards and midfield are all standing by our midfield waiting to pounce, the smart thing is to hold the ball a bit. Dangle the carrot. Try to suck them in. This is why our defense will give a pass to our midfielder and the midfielder would pass it back with their first touch. They aren't open but hoping Leeds would chase down a defender. They didn't do it though. They just sat. Waiting. So this means you either dribble a bit, try and bypass the midfield, or do the same thing again and pass it to the midfield in hopes that they can turn. If they can't, then it's another pass back to the defense. And it cycles around again.
I love it when we get these resident crazies fixated on players. We need more madwingers...i mean sadlermufcs.
He does it in every game he plays in.
I'd like him to play a little quicker as well. But that's no reason to give a guy a 4/10 in a game where we kept a clean sheet and no chances came through him. If we are giving Harry anything under an average 6/10 for the game vs Leeds then people are just looking for the negative and there's definitely an agenda. Personally, i gave him a 7 and thought he was the best of the starting back 4...
A little bit of nostalgia when we kicked off on Sunday - thought Ole was at the wheel. Bruno to Maguire and a diagonal to the left missing our player by a mile. Good old days those were….
Can you show me where I said it was all on Maguire?So it was all on Maguire? Even though the rest of the team were doing the same and passed it to him more than any other player? How to tell me you have an agenda without telling me you have an agenda
It's the same story every time he plays for us. We look vulnerable in possession and lack penetration playing out from the back. It's not hard to see why a manager like ETH has relegated our club captain to 4th choice CB at best.
A CB doesn't have to make glaring mistakes in a game for him to play poorly. Having more of the ball than anyone and doing nothing of note with it is a good enough reason to claim he's had a bad game.
Any worthwhile agent would advise him to stay where he is and get the free transfer then. Kind of a no brainer.
I hope he leaves for his own sake this summer. He is not a bad player but pressure has obviously got to him and he needs a new start.
Your tagline should be “Maguire’s mum”.
He held on to the ball far too long against Leeds, but then so did the whole team including Martinez when he came on.
Other than that he was absolutely fine, as he usually is these days. Nothing spectacular but no major errors and generally pretty steady.

Definitely.
Those passes against Leeds weren't in his game three years ago.
He was at one stage a very controlled, composed player. One whose technique could be relied on even of he had other shortcomings.
Now he looks nervous and rash.
"We look vulnerable with Maguire" but every chance they had came from the other side of the park. Again...tell me you have an agenda without telling me you have an agenda
Why? Does Harry's mom just want fair treatment for him too?
I couldn't agree more
There’s one person here acting as an SJW on behalf of poor old Harry, when everyone else is explaining to you their reasons for his low ratings and being dropped by the manager, yet somehow we’re the ones with an agenda.
If you think Maguire was better than Shaw or even Dalot Sunday you are blinkered. Or maybe just being contrary for the sake of it.
So you think I"m going to listen to people on here when 85% of them want Rashford sold? Not the smartest lot around here. Besides, I"m not saying anything about him belonging in the first 11 or questioning the manager. I'm questioning how he was the lowest rated player in a game when we kept a clean sheet and gave up very little chances. If you don't think giving the central defender who was most active in our back 4 a low rating in a game in which we gave up very little is an agenda, then guess what? You also have an agenda
I think he was a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 (all about even). Not MOTM or anything like that, but he was good. Mind you, if he gave up the chance that Shaw did, theCaf would go into meltdown...
Maguire started countless Leeds counters.
86% passing, but go on...tell me more lies. As I've said and you've proved, people with agendas see what they want to see
Ok, Harry.86% passing, but go on...tell me more lies. As I've said and you've proved, people with agendas see what they want to see
It makes for good entertainment, though. What's funnier is that they always lack the self-awareness to see that they have become meme material.
Sorry I don't go with the crowd. I think for myself. Let me guess...you are one of the 85% that wanted Rashford sold

Well how did you feel when we sold Japp Stam???
I thought it was crazy. Not sure what that has to do with this???
Glad you asked. It’s got as much to do with this as the Rashford thing that you brought up in the post that I responded to.
Harry Maguire had a genuinely good, solid first season here. What happened to that player could probably cover a thesis on its own. The criticism towards Harry back then was that he didnt score enough goals on headers.
Yes. He was criticised for header but rarely for his defending. Hence all these nicknames like 'microwave harry', '50p head' stuck.
.
Good point, well made.
He was solid in 2nd season too other than terrible start of that season when everyone were out of shape after having only few weeks of rest.
He was bad even in his first season but people were never blaming him. It was either De gea's,Shaw's or Lindelof's fault but never Maguire's. 2nd season people were using the Greece incident as to why he was so bad. Like come on man.
I still remember in his first season every time he was criticised his fanboys came out in full swing.
