Maguire's Redemption | One-year option triggered

Actually 2 mistakes. A free header missed, should have been 2-0. Then the defending error.
In his defence he was nudged slightly for the Rangers goal. While it wasn't something that should've affected him too much, it was as bad or worse as the "push" from Yoro on their defender for the disallowed goal.
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the goal. If Maguire had gone down pretending to be pushed, he would have probably got the foul.
With his body size, and experience, and he actually head the ball, nothing should have affected him.
I excuse Garnacho for his poor decision in front of goal, on his inexperience. But not Maguire.
We’ll be backs-to-the-wall for 80 minutes tomorrow against Fulham and he’ll be back to shagger champion of the world status again
Same as oppposite. Plays good 2 games in deep defence and defensive setup; redemption.
It strikes me how after 5 years fans are still fickle regarding Maguire when it is said and seen dozen and dozen times;
Solid PL defender which is really very good for a team which play defensive football with deep back line. In that setup his good traits (good in air, strong, tall) prevail.
On the other hand he is out of depth and liability in attacking team with high line. In that setup his flaws (slow, immobile, dodgy decision making) come out on surface.
Yep, you can see that by how they've all come crawling out the woodwork at what they consier the first opportunity.Of course he would. I'm not surprised many are delighted the foul wasn't given though
You can see how biased they are when they don't even consider the push in the back, just call it an error.
But he didn't mess it up, he was pushed whilst in the air.
Didn't even make a mistake, people just feel the need to crap on him.
He was nudged i agree, but seemed to mistime his jump and once he feels the push he should go down. Other teams do this stuff constantly against us
Let's leave Harry's surname out of it and just think of just a player in a play
1. He commands the line in such situations and he got caught keeping onside the rival, first mistake
2. Shit happens, not everytime the offside line works, so the first thing to do is to be aware where it's your rival, keep him on check, do not loose your whole attention in an aerial ball, less with such an announced and high one
3. The nudge it's sthg that happens all the time all over the pitch, will happen, he has to impose and be more clever and nasty, expecting to control that ball without anyone bothering him, it's silly
It all ends on a mess and also the rival has his merit, his control was superb and his finish great, it could have end in nothing without these two ingredients.
Now since the player in question was Harry and stuff with him would tend to end always in Black or White, fair or not, some might go over the top, but it's going also over the top to not see any responsability from him in that play.
Plus since he is Harry, it's not the first time he struggles to control, nor feel confident with these type of balls and it shows.
