Did he just try to dodge the ball for the third goal or am I imagining things :lol: I’m truly done

Because he has no idea what or who is behind him and is in a vulnerable part of the pitch. As evidenced by what actually happened.
But then you're assuming that it's realistic for a player to actually adjust in that situation. Perhaps you can say that Maguire has slow reactions in this regard but to say it's 'crazy' for this to not happen is a little fanciful in my opinion.

At this point, he's be happy to take a pay cut and a less stressful job.

Sad thing is newcastle would be our best bet to get a good price for him but brainless board would vote against it as they would see it as strengthening a rival rather than realising it would strengthen us to get rid of this lump as automatic starter

He should have cleared it. The only alternative was to let the ball go back into his own box where opposition players were without even looking. He chose the latter and City scored which was obviously a massive risk.

The amount of times he misses an easy chance to score from set pieces because he takes his eye off the ball if it’s anywhere close to a player in front is scandalous

But this is standard for him! He does the same thing with defensive headers

It's beyond the point of being able to sell him. I just hope that we don't trigger a contract extension seeing as that's what we usually do when we have shit players on our books.

if you’re consistently shite at your job you get sacked. It’s how every other job in the world works apart from footballers.

this guy would’ve been in the job centre years ago.

It's Sunday league stuff, you don't let the keeper make a save and then let the ball roll out like that through your legs. Put it out for a corner, whatever is needed to get it out of the danger area - Phil Jones-esque header, I don't care. If this was a one-off thing, it could be put down to a lapse in judgement, but the guy is an utter skidmark and a complete liability.

If you don’t have the reaction to clear a ball in that situation, what are you good for?

He is proving week in week out that he is hardly good enough for PL football, let alone a CL team… He is more suited for a Burnley or a Norwich.

I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here so apologies if I’m misinterpreting you but it’s his reaction/“adjustment” that’s the problem. He moves his right foot out of the way of the ball.

Hate is a strong word, but I really dislike the guy and never want to see him again. But let's remember Maguire doesn't pick himself; what the hell is the manager doing?
The previous manager made a clown move buying him and giving him the captaincy. I can’t figure why he stood by him after the countless amateurish displays. Incompetence is the only explanation.

The current manager clearly doesn’t have the prerogatives required to drop the team’s 80M captain.

This I honestly think if the club are willing to stomach the loss, I imagine he would be happy enough to go. He isn't built for the pressure of a top club and certainly doesn't have the ability.

We should just pay out & release him from his contract & then sell his bloopers as NFTs to recoup the money.

He was always slow but i think he's had a significant physical decline from last season. The small adjustments he makes to his shape etc. are fecking abysmal

But then he's had some great games for England, including a WC semi and a Euro final. He's an enigma that's for sure.
