he's good every time he plays with Bailly.
I think he was very lucky not conceding a penalty for that elbow/handball at he end there. Otherwise he was good once again.
Looked on the replay to me that the ball actually hit AWB’s face rather than Harry’s arm. It was tough to see clearly though.I think he was very lucky not conceding a penalty for that elbow/handball at he end there. Otherwise he was good once again.
Maguire seemed to be among the worst affected by the odd start to the season, no doubt with the arrest playing a part. But he’s been getting better and better as the weeks go past and he’s looking in top form at the mo
That's what good partnerships do, Rio and Vidic covered for each other all the time. It often goes unnoticed here but Maguire does the same for Lindelof.Didn't think he was particularly good. Bailly bailed him out many times
I couldn't really see a good angle of it, from what I did see it would've been really harsh.I think he was very lucky not conceding a penalty for that elbow/handball at he end there. Otherwise he was good once again.

Would have been a very harsh decision.
Just as harsh as that baffling decision to award a foul from Shaw in the first half, I was expecting anything from that that prick of a ref. Anyway his goals also should have stood imo.Yes agree although would have been harsh/soft imo, earlier in the season it would have been given.
There’s no way that’s a penalty.I think he was very lucky not conceding a penalty for that elbow/handball at he end there. Otherwise he was good once again.
I don’t really get this rationale though. Is he a good player and did he improve us massively? Yes. So who cares what we paid for him? For that price we bought, Rojo, Lindelof and Bailly but Maguire has been better and more reliable than all of them by a distance so he’s worth the money.Solid player. If we paid £45m for him he would be a great buy.

If that was a penalty then game is surely dead. The only way to defend then is chop your hands off and play.I think he was very lucky not conceding a penalty for that elbow/handball at he end there. Otherwise he was good once again.
Good point. I see only with our fans who are obsessed with price tag. Same with Pogba, Fred, awb. Maguire has been pretty solid since joining, could he be better? Yes but no way a flop or anything.doesn’t matter get over it.
what if he cost £46m? Would he be pretty good?
£60m? Good
£70m? Average
£80m? Disaster, should bring up his price tag at every opportunity. Not captain material etc.
Yep. It seems to go AWB face > Mee's head > Mee's arm > Maguire's hand (maybe)It's similar to McTominay's goal vs Brighton last season, it touched Maguire hand before the goal but the goal was allowed because it also touched Dunk's hand. This time it touched both him & Mee's arm. 50:50 challenge there.
Honestly, the most annoying thing about this was G Nev's commentary. He's such a little weasel these days - calls absolutely everything against United without even seeing it. 'Oh, he could be in trouble there!'
Yeah, if you ignore the price, that is when he becomes good enough. I'm happy with him having the armband as well.I don’t really get this rationale though.

You mean when Matic lazily jogged back and switched off defending?Played well bar that one moment he completely lost a Burnley player and had to be bailed out by Bailly.
I am still unsure mate, but to be frank I really don't give a feck since it was not given, if it was I am sure that it would have been used to rip him apart on here. Both of Bailly and Maguire were top class I feel, with the main insecurity coming from AWB.Doesn’t even touch Maguire does it? first AWB, then onto the Burnley lad and then? AWB’s
shoulder maybe?
I’ve paused every moment and can’t see after the two deflections.
You had a second look @Kostov?
No, I mean when Maguire was marking nobody and eventually turned round and noticed his striker was running in behind him and shit himself. He has a bad habit of not knowing about danger behind him.You mean when Matic lazily jogged back and switched off defending?
Maguire is a beast, just need a good partner who likes to defend, not Lindelof, Shaw is a great defender and so is Bissaka, then a proper DM not let´s shoehorn the big lad Matic there who can´t track players, neither cover the ground. The we will be super solid. We´re already seing that by just putting Bailly there.
Also only a matter of time when he starts putting in some more goals. He´s got 5-6 goals in him per season along with some great playmaking ability if we need a bit of help from there. With the inflation, it´s similar deal as with Rio for 30mil. Back in the day he had a better team around with experienced manager and a terminator next to him, let´s not forget that. It will come to the point when we will laugh at all those posts of him being not worth it.
Exactly then you can count the dross like Darmian too. When city spend 50-100mil regularly on defenders per year, people don´t even talk about that. It cost them several managalas and stoneses to find laporte or Dias and they are still evaluating them. Also 40mil for back up Aké, not even talking about their fulbacks..The price thing is stupid anyway, we paid fecking 35m for Lindelöf, 50m for AWB and City spent 60m every season trying to find CB’s as good as Maguire.
We paid a premium, but the idea he’d have been ”great at 45m” is stupid, he’d have been a fecking steal that price.
Was thinking more like £25m. Bailly has improved him it seems and as shown last night, not afraid to give him a bollocking when required.Solid player. If we paid £45m for him he would be a great buy.
It’s clear as day that a Bailly and Maguire partnership is the way forward. Please no more Lindelof, he was clearly the problem that Maguire got the blame for.
