I don’t think I’ve seen an agenda on here as bad as the one against Maguire. These people clearly don’t watch football, or more importantly other defenders, very often. I genuinely think their expectations of a CB are based on YouTube compilations of VVD.
Judging a CB is probably one of the hardest. If you watch highlights of every CB in the bottom half of the table, they will look World Class.
They are defending, making 10/12 blocks a game, loads of interceptions but when one goes by, nothing is said.
At United, its different. Every corner goal we concede, its blame on Maguire because he should be commanding the box. Well if that is the case, why do we need 11 men in the box?
If you watch 90 mins of Liverpool every game, I am sure you will see the mistakes VVD makes. Believe it or not, I have seen VVD misplace alot of passes, when Maguire misplaces 1 pass, its all over social media and the caf are all over it. That is the difference, other clubs support their players, we want to hate our players.
Look at the Bruno treatment of late for a classic example, or say Rashford.
I watched a game where Son missed a one v one it hit the post and missed a header, not sure if it was Fulham but look how much he is loved by the caf.
