Really ? I mean I was surprised when he was named captain but do we even know if it's affecting negatively his performances ?
A fair point. You could say taking away could ruin his morale but as Captain and main CB he seems to be struggling to organise and read play. You could disagree.
I find it so hard to take to him. I just don't think he's very good, like at all.
Man Utd 6:2 Leeds United
I feel he doesn't have a read of the play.
I think I heard the commentator say that he's started every PL game since signing? His fitness is fantastic.
Solid today. Saved a few certain goals. But I’m sure people will find a stick to beat him with.
He really wanted a goal. Probably should have got one with one of his headers
Every appearance he makes now, it’s pathetic the amount of criticism he gets. Good solid game from him today, all the issues Leeds created were down their left side and Harry coped with everything that came his way.
He was brilliant today
If he manages to get his headers away from the GK on attacking corners he could score 5 or more a season!
One of his better games today. Moved the ball around a bit faster than usual, took it up the field himself a few times and got a couple of really good blocks in. Hopefully he keeps it up.
What you think Lindelof is a better centre-back than Maguire??
you think Tuanzebe, Bailly and those crocks Rojo and Jones are better?!?
Err Lindelof is better and he was also better today. But please do continue with this narrative that its so obvious that Maguire is our best CB :facepalm:
Second half he really starting pushing forward with the ball, it was one of those ridiculous school ground games by that stage, everyone was having too much fun, think he was feeling a goal.
Solid performance today, borderline great performance. I fear he’s getting overworked, but we’ll just have to grind through it until Tuanzebe inspires enough confidence to allow Ole to give Harry more rest.
So you dont think Maguire has improved our backline?
Makes me shudder just thinking about a Lindelof - Jones/Rojo/Bailly/Tuanzebe partnership tbh
Yeah, this.
Another great performance from Maguire. Solid almost the whole season so far.
Yes he started the 38 games last season, and has started every game this season. Considering the fact he plays plenty of games in other competitions as well, it's a fantastic record.
I expect him to start the Carabao cup game midweek and then make himself available for weekend as well. Good to have a player who could play every game without breaking down.
His lack of mobility concerns me, as does the status we've afforded him. Had a couple of good headers in their box today.
So good.
Quality defender. Amazes me that people who have spent years watching Rojo, Jones, Smalling and Blind at CB can’t see it.
Maguire "could" have opened up and kept the ball moving out to Telles. That was one option. Another option was to pass it back to the keeper who should be getting it right back to Lindelof or booting it up the field. Both players had options. There was nothing wrong with Maguire pass. Henderson should have dealt with it better. Anyone blaming Maguire for that is scapegoating him. That was all on Henderson...
Solid again.
Harry Maguire has 29 interceptions this year. Lindelof and AWB have 28 combined. But Maguire doesn't read the play?

Ok....a lot of you muppets need to start thinking for yourself and stop just saying whatever Mark Goldbridge says. And don't try and claim that you "don't know who Goldbridge is". Too many people quote his agenda word for word. I'm just waiting for Goldbridge's brilliant annalysis from today to be repeated where Leeds headed goal was Maguire's fault because he should be winning the header even though that wasn't his to win.
Sadler, you just forced me to check out whoever this bloke is.
My God, 240k followers? Sounds an utter gimp. No hope for humanity.

Fixed that for you. I genuinely fail to see how people cannot understand that what Maguire did was wrong.
Both players made mistakes, I don't blame either individually. I blame both.
Because passing to a teammate who has enough time to pass it on, is never your fault.
In Sunday league you have a point, but he’s not playing with Pete the plasterer in nets is he?
Hendo has a triangle with Matic & Maguire, a triangle keepers and defenders train literally hundreds of times a week.
I genuinely can’t get my head around the sheer stupidity of anyone thinking it’s anything other than an embarrassing almighty feck up from a professional goalkeeper in 2020.

Passing to an open player isn't the wrong play. Telles was probably a better option but if you are really going to blame Maguire for that it's because you are looking to find fault in Maguire. That was all on Henderson. He had plenty of time to get a touch and pass it along to LIndelof or boot it up the field. Blaming Harry is scapegoating and nothing more. If it was a poor pass or there was already a player on Henderson then by all means blame him but that wasn't the case was it?
I think he's quietly having a really good season. After his sending off for England it looks like he had an epiphany.
There are literally dozens of passes every single game between centre halves, keepers and full backs in which a massive feck up from one could be excused with “well xxxx shouldn’t have passed to him there”.
They are professional footballers for Manchester United ffs, you deal with that, more often than not we want the strikers rushing in and selling themselves.
I haven't watched anything to do with him for a while now, but yes, it was clear he had an agenda against Maguire.
Not sure why this reply was for me. I'm not the one scapegoating Maguire. It's the other guy...
I tend to agree. Was everywhere today
We are so much better with Maguire, its hard to understand why people can't see that.
And he plays every minute of every game. That's huge.

Loved his forays forward today
No complaints today!

How does that prove it?
his consistency and availability seems to go unnoticed. Yes he was dogshit as the start of the season, but he’s done very well to come through that, and I imagine it was a one off given the circumstances.
Maguire is amazing when on form, but I can't help feel that his partnership with Lindelof isn't as ideal as it could be. It may be early days, but I'm waiting for that moment of natural chemistry between both CBs - or at least enough understanding to prevent our wingbacks from getting tucked in the centre to help out (as we've seen in certain high intensity games).
