First time ever i saw him angry. I like it.I like Angry Maguire.
I wouldn't go that far. Against Newcastle and Bournemouth he was all over the place (same as other defenders were).He has had some utterly terrible performances under both Ole and Ten Hag. But in a back three under Amorim he has been absolutely fantastic and our best cb this season. Selling him would be madness.
This.Nothing but respect for him. Can't describe how tough he is mentally.
2nd goal? Did you watch the right game?What are people smoking? Clearly MOTM was the Altay who kept us alive. After that some major heroics by De Ligt on defense.
Maguire had a good/bad game. Used his slabhead well and passed well, except for the two goals of course. Not sure who's fault it is but stopping your GK from catching the cross which led to the goal isn't great defending last time I checked.
And then the 2nd goal, while it was a very soft penalty, not sure why Havertz decided to dive. He clearly had Maguire beat so if he had just kept going he would have been 1-1 with GK. Maguire's lack of mobility continues to be a major issue. De Ligt offers everything Maguire does but better and Maguire is a decent squad player right now for us.

We’ve just activated the +1 on his contractThis.
Also, he’s actually most suited to a back three as well! Hoping we can extend his contract. Maybe at a lowered wage but keep him.
Cheers Geoff.Lets not forget we're sitting 13th in the table.

Thank you for this.Lets not forget we're sitting 13th in the table.
Aargh, good to know! For some reason i thought this season was his +1 (and final) year!We’ve just activated the +1 on his contract
Sometimes all you need is a run without having to look over and see your colleague is LindelofIt’s just incredible to see this sort of development from someone you’d expect to be “dead” and “buried” by now after what have been some difficult years.
Just shows that sometimes all you need is confidence and someone that knows how to get the best out of you.
I’m so happy for him, keep this up!
Nothing efficient you mean?Check my post history. I've nothing against Harry
Totally agreedI said it previously, even at his worse, he’s still a better defender than what people would have you believe.
He got made a scapegoat because he was trying to actually defend while Lindelof was doing his best invisible man impression while not getting any blame.
Check my post history. I've nothing against Harry
A captain should ideally be a good performer and an inspiration. Maguire fails on both accounts. I say just rotate the band. Nobody is an obvious pick.
Maguire is the one with the most significant (negative) impact in my opinion. He is the worst that yet somehow is the captain and seems to be irreplacable. Other disappointing signings get benched and rotated.
Obviously this is in hindsight but it didn't sit right when we paid 80M for him at the time of signing either.
This is the best transfer we could hope for. I'd take the sale of Maguire over a striker purchase any day of the week.
Nice knowing we will be stuck with Maguire and Scott until 2026. For the fans mental health, exclude them from any social media and give them no minutes to play. Least they can do is let us forget about them, Maguire in particular.
It was his second season, but yes he was in the best form of his career and was arguably the form defender in the league before that injury so it was very unfortunate timing.We’d have won the Europa League if he didn’t get injured just before it in his first season with us.
Or also in his case Varane or Lisandro or Shaw.Sometimes all you need is a run without having to look over and see your colleague is Lindelof
You could count Lindelofs ‘good’ performances on one handOr also in his case Varane or Lisandro or Shaw.
Why change history now? Lindelof also had excellent performances. And complete shitshows. Same as Harry.
