Taking on a pacey opponent while a midfielder is available next to you? Are you joking?Being one metre next to the guy initially is called good positioning and offered an option? Are you joking?

Agreed. Like I said in my original post, it's a double-edged sword. When it works, it relieves pressure to the midfield and helps dictate the tempo; but there are multiple occassions where Maguire has misjudged the situation and put the team into trouble, and it's unfair to put the blame on the midfielders.I think these clips show what many CBs have been guilty of doing lately. Keeping the ball is important, but when the risk is to big, clear it. We saw Varane do it in CL, as many other well known players. However Maguire is also good at attracting press before he passes it. If he could just evaluate the situation better and clear it instead of stubbornly dribble or hit those passes in dangerous situations I would be happy.
Exactly. And attracting press doesn’t necessarily mean standing with the ball waiting for the opponent. It still needs to be movement, to make sure that your only choice isn’t that dangerous pass through the centre.Agreed. Like I said in my original post, it's a double-edged sword.

The frauds are the people at the club who thought he is worth £80m. He is the same player he was Leicester, no way near what is required at United.He is no leader, not great defender, I wouldn’t exactly call him dominant in the air as he has no control over his headers. He is a fraud of great proportions. He is not worth 40m never mind 80m.
