There's one of the reasons why. If "play Maguire" is the solution, it's a very serious problem.
In fairness I can recall us starting Lindelof at right back twice and on both occasions we changed it at half time due to him being horrendous there.
So now we want Maguire back in
No i want players to be played in their position. Its our fault we didnt replace Maguire. Now if we have a CB who can play, then why not play him?So now we want Maguire back in
Just shows if a really crap player is dropped for a period of time and results get a bit rubbish that player instantly improves by been not selected
You want players played in their position but you suggest Maguire should be played at left back .
That's not what he said. He said play Maguire at CB.You want players played in their position but you suggest Maguire should be played at left back .
Yeah, we achieved the square root of feck all with his role yesterday. He didn’t play as a inverted full back, but just roamed from left back to some sort of weird deep-lying playmaker. He weirdly just kept sitting between our centre backs or as an anchor man, doing nothing with the ball whilst killing our left side.
Why not play him? Because he is absolutely trash. He's a clumsy oaf. See his pass at the end? See the countless mistakes over the last couple of years? See the opposition fans making fun of him because he's a walking meme.
I wouldn't go that far, but I'm always sceptical of loan players, clubs don't loan out their best players, they loan out players to get regular football and to hopefully see them improve

I think that's because there was feck all movement ahead of him, rather than his inability. He's always been good at line breaking passes when I've seen him, our attacking players don't seem to give good options for it though or maybe don't expect it from him.
I'd guess that we're pretty unlikely to see that kind of move. People often forget that Zinchenko started as a 10. His diagonals are pretty good though, and once we have Antony - our only attacker who is good at holding width - back, we might have some joy out of that.
Two appearances at left back, it should be noted.
That's the Caf way!
Agree in principle. I don't think he was acquired because of his World Cup performances though, but rather because he played multiple seasons in the Dutch league.
Currently ranked as 11th in Europe by the UEFA co-efficient, about equal to the Scottish Premier or League Div 1.
He was quite a good player in Serie A just outside the elite clubs and good for Morocco in the previous World Cup. Not claiming a stellar career or anything but one of those players who improved everyone he played for.
I was under the impression the "loan" was a loan in name only, to be made permanent next year, as an FFP workaround. The type of dodgy deal Italian clubs have been doing for ages now. I could be wrong though.
Exactly. You seem to get every kind of idiot under the sun in here. But that’s what makes this place great! Right?!.. I’m not going to judge the new guys until they’re at least playing in a settled line up. Too many injuries and players missing to make judgements.
Because Mount wasn't afforded enough time. No point making the same mistake twice.

107 appearances over three years for a team that doesn't regularly play in Europe.
You must be looking at a different player.
The prognosis isn’t good because he’s had one bad game out of two, both played out of position?
Read the last paragraph numpty and comprehend it.
