Maguire was awful and made the England team's defence worse with them covering for him. Hopefully it's enough for Southgate to see what everyone else sees but I doubt it. How did he get in this squad (and starting line up) ahead of Tomori??

If you think he was anything apart from utterly comfortable and in control for the vast majority of today, you simply will never accept a good performance from him.
Playing a league 1 level team arguably, but still.
 
He was absolutely fine, then suddenly got dizzy out of nowhere straight after the goal? a bit weird

Probably an anxiety attack or something knowing he was at fault for letting in a soft goal.

It's almost like illness can come on suddenly or something.
 
Is he concussed every time he plays? he makes that mistake for United every game he plays.

He always tries to over react when defending instead of just holding his position.

Probably faked feeling dizzy knowing he'd fecked up yet again, hopefully people will feel sorry for him.
Yeah because England were about to lose the game so Maguire thought faking illness would be good for him :rolleyes:

I guess Tehremi span him so fast he got dizzy off it. He should sit out the next 2 games just to be safe x

Except for the goal where he had a brain fart and decided for no reason to press the Iran player at the edge of the box who then easily made a run behind and with Maguire's top speed resembling a Prius at best he had no chance to recover and conceded a stupid easy chance.

He does this like 2-3 times a game. Ridiculous.
 
On BBC they were saying he was dizzy and had double vision?
I’d imagine that would freak anyone out if that happened to them out of nowhere while they were working

Naa. He was fine. England's football philosophy suits him in general.

Exactly - and if he does this two or three times against Brazil or Argentina we’ll get punished just as many times on top of all their other threats.

thought he had an ok game though and the criticism is a bit unfair, but he can’thave brain farts so often when we face tougher opposition
 
My neighbour is a United fan, he says Harry wasn't amazing but better than the version we get to see.
 
Am I the only one that thought he had a physical reaction to conceding that goal?

There was nothing wrong with him! Never bashed him on here but I really felt like he panicked after the goal and immediately gave up!

They were talking about last two seasons or just today?

Of course. :lol:

He fecked up letting the runner behind him score and knew the scrutiny would happen so he feigned his way off the field.
 
Let’s all take this opportunity to abuse Maguire . No one has mentioned the assist for Saka’s goal.

We’ve a very very strange bunch of fans on here.

Yes against the mighty Iran. Let's praise our boy for that
 
I hope he has a brilliant World Cup so we can sell him with a fat English premium.

I'm glad he was good against the mighty Iran. Let's hope he has a decent world cup so we can cash out later.

Just read the posts above and i'm basically copying them. BUt that's fine, i agree with them.
 
At this point Maguire can do 50 things right in a game, and if he does one thing wrong, he’ll immediately get shitloads of abuse.

I think we’re way past the point of criticism, this has gone to bullying levels.

100%. At least it makes for a good way to identify the w*nkers on this board

He did ok today but that wasn’t really a challenge at all. The problem is if you regularly make one or two mistakes a game as a defender, that’s regularly costing match changing moments to your team.

It’s all good and well saying “apart from him letting the striker get in and score, he played well”. It was probably the first time Iran really threatened and they scored from it.

It’s certainly not a performance to fly his flag to say he’s back in form but it’s also still worrying that they get in and score from their first shot on goal. Against a top side that’s a time bomb as we’ve seen far too often at Utd.

They aren’t real United fans. Probably only ever seen Old Trafford on photographs and couldn’t point to Manchester on a map.

Pay no attention.
 
Good performance from Maguire. Started the move for Jude’s goal. Assisted Saka’s goal. Played nice passes through the lines. Probably the best he’s played since 2021.
 
The abuse he gets is absurd. Some people just seem to hate him, even though he had a fine game. I hope he recovers fast.

Passing between the lines was excellent and caused havoc for Iran’s defence at set pieces. Showed I think why he’d be absolute class in a slightly slower league.

Aye, United just might be a bit above the level he could thrive at.
 
I thought he played excellent. Don’t understand the vitriol he’s getting.

Have to agree with this. He distributes and re-cycles the ball really well. Not really asked much in defence today but won nearly every header, could have scored and made an assist. The vitriol about him is crazy. Still probably England’s best CH.

Loved his game! And don’t forget, he was a great threat offensively too. An assist. Could have had a goal.

He will never be a fit for ETH’s style. But he played a good game. Hopes teams in a need of a CB were watching.
 
Played okay, unlucky not to score with the header and should have been awarded a penalty just prior to that.
He would be a much bigger threat for Utd at set pieces if we had someone else apart from Ronnie that could head a ball so not all the attention was on him.
 
Very good game, but he’s playing in a very good team against an average team.

But a good game is a good game. Hats off.
 
One penalty shout, one header in the bar, one assist, and important in the build up for another, weak positioning for one goal, good distribution, this makes him one of the better players on the pitch in my book. Certainly better than his CB colleagues on either side. 7,5/10 performance.
 
I thought he played well today, “can only compete against what is put in front of him” and all that good stuff.. it has been said many times, but I think his confidence when playing for United is clearly gone and I think he plays for us with constant fear of making a mistake (& getting even more criticism and abuse). If we could just support him more and get his confidence back, we’d definitely have a much better player in our team -maybe not the best defender ever, but at least a good one.
