Harry Maguire

Casemiro was awful today. Maguire is limited, but I don't doubt his effort or attitude, which a few others could learn from.

It's up to the team as a whole in trying to cut down the number of chances we concede, but a lot of it comes from what is happening in front of the CBs rather than the CBs as well (although we have generally been ropey defensively), but ETH doesn't seem to have addressed this issue all season

Casemiro was the worst player on the pitch today but he wasnt helped by Mainoo either, He went missing for large parts of the game. Liverpool will be kicking themselves tonight. They blew it with the amount of chances they were given. This was their easiest game of their run in too.

Maguire is still not good enough and should at best be 4th choice CB next season.

Maguire is not a great defender, but he's nowhere near as bad as the frenzied coverage he gets suggests, and he became a scapegoat. Reminds me of how our fans used to blame Xhaka for everything.

This. More often than not, he's been solid for us. Far more often.

Agreed

Harry Maguire is at a similar level as VVD. The biggest difference is the PR.

For sure, ETHs tactics have clearly been poor. I’m just saying that our CBs this season haven’t been good and contribute to our poor shoots conceded stat. My main point was that I don’t agree that Slabhead has stepped up this season even if he has improved a little and done well to get over the abuse he received.

Come on guys.

Maguire tries, and he’s, he gets his head to things, but he is slow, rash, indecisive and poor on the ball.

He's done a lot better than most of our players this season

If you think Maguire (or any other defender that plays for United who you lot give stick to like Onana Lindelof, Dalot, AWB etc, etc ) is mainly to blame for every team we play each week having record attempts at goal, then you are not watching the same games that I do.

And I will give todays game a classic example of that.
