My mind is blown that some people actually thought he was good today.

He was decent today, defended well… except for the 2nd goal. That decision to step over the ball without knowing the danger behind you was dreadful. He was our best defender though IMO. Which isn’t saying all that much.
Probably the worst season an outfield player has ever had for us.
Or it's up there.
I don't understand what he was thinking for their 2nd goal.

Liverpool got Van Dijk and Fabinho and we got Maguire and Fred. FFS, who could have scripted how it would turn out with both clubs spend of approx £125 million.
Maguire would look decent in a Wolves, Villa, Leicester type team I bet. But this is way above his pay grade now! We’re a bit screwed.

He is directly involved or around all of the goals. First goal through his legs, second a big mistake letting it through his legs once more, third one hits him and goes in, the last one he is badly positioned and it gives them an easy job in playing the ball for Mahrez to score. Not saying he was st fault for any of the other goals except the second, but a great defender gets in front of a couple of them. A good defender smacks that second out for corner, a faster one does the same for the third, and you could position yourself better for the fouth and charge the player.
Maguire was dreadful today, like most others. Stoo the nonsense.
How Bailly doesn't start over this stiff is mind boggling.
I can't get over that more people aren't mentioning his abilities as a captain. What does he bring in that role? It sure isn't leadership.
I don’t think he could adjust his feet in time. He was very close to De Gea, off balance and the ball came at him quickly. There’s no way that was a conscious decision to dummy the ball, he just got ‘megged. He also made a fantastic block a split second later.
He had a decent game. Not amazing but good enough. He actually seems to be hitting a bit of form recently. One of very few.
Dogshite we should play Phil Jones..
Strange how none of the various pundits etc have blamed him for the four goals you seek to blame him for. He’s had some bad games this season but this wasn’t one of them. The fact you are trying to blame him for Tellles
Get Rudiger to replace him in the summer, actually no hope when we will be in ropey league
That’s because he is slow to react. His body movement is quite slow to play at this level and will always get found out.
He is a decent defender and 80m tag was never justified. Have no idea how it was sanctioned . Ole and Ed should be charged for that.
Maguire and MCT should both be playing for Burnley.That's their level.
Stop wumming Pogue. “Hitting form” You prankster you!They indeed wouldn't look out of place playing for an average team like Burnely with that lack of diversity in talent and other things if you catch my drift.
They've been sold to the masses as leaders of men but in reality they wouldn't hack it at any serious top club.
De Gea was absolutely livid with him against City. A damn shame he's forced to call that fraud his captain
The Lukaku of CB.
Worrying if this is him hitting form...
Painful we're stuck with him for another 5 years or so
I have faulted him several times. Difference is I don't try and blame every goal on him. Just the ones that are his fault
Did you make this list for the entire team? The game I watched, as crap as Maguire was, he was still better than most of his teammates. But that doesn't fit the agenda
Love it when you quote things not said by me. Good job
I don't think everything's his fault but omg he is slow and gives easy rebounds for forwards.
One of the reason we can't play highline.
So a player brought on as a sub doesn't get a touch in 20 mins and it's everyone's fault but his?
Another is part of a defense which conceded 4 goals and 20 shots and yet it's not his fault.
Is this what you are implying?
Worst. Defender. At. The. Club.
This is not form but class. Maguire is a bad defender.
I have bunch of stats to support my case.
Maguire concedes 1.32 goals per game in his premier league career. Which is more than Ryan Shawcross (1.29) who was rejected by our academy and plays in a relegation fodder for his entire PL career. While Vidic concedes 0.63 goals per game in his premier league career.
When he played for Hull, Hull conceded the MOST PL goals (80 goals against, i.e. 2.10 goals conceded per game) among 20 teams, while Hull was ranked 18th in PL, i.e. Hull was dragged down by its defense.
In the first season he joined Leicester, Leicester was ranked 9th in Premier league, but Leicester conceded 60 PL goals, being the 16th best defense in the team, i.e. Leicester was dragged down by its defense.
Look at Leicester:
goals conceded 2015-2017 (two seasons before Maguire joined): 1.30 per game
goals conceded 2017-2019 (two seasons with Maguire): 1.42 per game
goals conceded 2019-2021 (two seasons after Maguire left): 1.20 per game
Leicester's defense was actually BETTER without Maguire.
Look at Man Utd:
goals conceded 2016-2019 (3 seasons beefore Maguire joined): 0.97 per game
goals conceded 2019-2022 (3 seasons with Maguire): 1.13 per game
Again, our defense has been WORSE since Maguire joined us.
These are all very awful stat, and it means he has never improved (and to the contrary, he actually drags down) any defenses of the PL teams he plays in, be it Hull, Leicster or Man Utd.

If his entire career has been like this then what on living earth convinced the board that he would be a good signing...and for 80 MILLION POUNDS at that? Surely there must be an aspect of the sport that he’s good at that none of us must be able to comprehend.
Maguire, the gift from Ole that keeps on giving. Seriously, how does someone that could not captain Leicester City be appointed as United captain? We were conned by Leicester into thinking we were paying for a prime Beckenbauer when in fact all we got was a Smalling 2.0. Hopefully he spends the rest of the season reflecting on the bench.
Why did he let the ball run through his legs on the second goal?
I'm astounded that a professional footballer actually did that instead of kicking the ball out for a corner.

Mark Goldbridge on Maguire: Shouldnt be playing for Manchester United.
Couldnt agree more!

You’re probably right. When it’s slowed down and we know the end result, it obviously looks a lot worse. I’ve been hugely critical of him this season, but I thought he was ok yesterday. Actually looked like he gave a shit
Needs the captaincy taken away from him and given to someone who actually is able to lead.
Not that there are any leaders in this joke of a squad.

The pundits wouldn't blame him if he literally smashed the ball his own net three times, he's one of those players that for whatever reason they've just decided they will not criticise no matter how he plays.
Thats a great idea, lets take captaincy of Maguire, rock the dressing room further and give it to whom exactly?
Come on, anybody saying he isn't at fault for their second is absolutely deluded. So are elanga and lindelof but christ, it was harder to let it through his legs.
Aside from that he was far from our worst performer but he's had a disastrous season, and should at very least lose captaincy in summer, if not his place in xi altogether. What's the point in demanding high standards otherwise

Bailly can’t be blamed for being appalled that he’s been dropped in the pecking order below Maguire, who was abysmal beyond all belief once again yesterday.
City makes mugs out of a lot of defenders, but Maguire has been abysmal the entire season.
So the second goal isn't Elanga's fault for a terrible pass out, isn't Lindelof's fault for getting made to look like an utter spanner by Foden, and isn't the goalkeepers fault for doing what you're taught not to do as a fecking 6 year old and punch the ball directly back out into the danger zone? Instead it's the one defender who actually got a block in during that phase of play at fault. Ok lads, this is a totally reasonable assessment.
from the beacon of reasonable discourse who claims De Gea was utter shite as usual…
He looks so diesel. My order is: Varane, Lindelof, Jones, Bailly, Maguire
