Manchester United Football Club Thread 2019/20

Jesus, thats fucking hilarious :smiley:

absolutely not

three united players get beaten in the air by number 35. Matic (31?) is turtle necking the header.

Is it Wan Bissaka number 29 is getting horsed back by nymber 5 for Southampton, into Maguireā€™s path.

Lindelof should be absolutely ashamed at that attempt at defending.

Are you taking the piss? Maguire vacates his zone where is exactly where the ball ends up and he would have had a handy header away, and ends up putting his arms on Wan Bissakaā€™s shoulders stopping him from getting a header on it as well.

Lindelof was put in a position where his centre half partner has allowed the ball to bounce in the 6 yard box through vacating his position and Iā€™m not sure what else he can do from there

How is that Maguireā€™s fault? Heā€™s the middle zonal defender of the three along the 6 yard line. The guy that flicked it on beats the first of the three zonal defenders and diverts the ball away from Maguire.

Maguire is completely blameless there. Wan Bissaka got shoved back a couple of yards into maguires zone, so Maguire has to react to that.

Lindelof isnā€™t goal side in the 6 yard box and gets shoved back a yard by Obafemi. Disgraceful defending by him.

Matic turtle necks the header in the first place. He should be winning that all day.

Rashford is actually marking Bednarek and allows him to run in behind as well. There are 4 United players around the initial flick on and none of them challenge for it.

Yes, and he rushes forward out of that zone on a ball with a low trajectory that is very unlikely to reach him rather than staying in the zone and having the easy clearance

De Gea moves back. Maguire moves laterally, not forward.

De Gea is more at fault than Maguire even. He canā€™t step back or heā€™d be on top of De Gea. Youā€™ve obviously never defended a corner

Iā€™d be having words with Rashford, Matic, De Gea and Lindelof on that one

The 6 yard zone is set up to allow the goalie get anything that comes in flat. What the fuck is De Gea at there. He should be claiming that.

Yep, agreed.

De Gea is not a keeper thatā€™s going to come out and claim things like that and with its low trajectory and deflection I think its unfair to blame him anyway.

Maguire clearly does move towards the ball and ends up in no mans land

Wan Bissaka gets drove back a couple of yards into Maguires way. If he doesnā€™t get in front of him then heā€™s out of the game. He canā€™t drop back. Heā€™s 5 yards out. If he stays where he is number 5 has a tap in.

There are 9 United players in that video clip and Maguire is about 8th on the blame list.

Whoā€™s marking 27 and 21 that are at the bottom of the screen? Itā€™s an absolute shambles of a defensive set up

Thatā€™s just @the_man_himself and his soccer hipster ways. Itā€™s always the fault of the English player.

Itā€™s bizarre how anyone could watch that clip and single Maguire out.

He gets very personal about his soccer and itā€™s usually against the English player with the Irish sounding name. Harry Kane is another figure of hate alongside Harry Maguire.

two genuine world class players as well.

Harry Maguire is at fault for a goal in most games he plays. World class alright. Harry Kane can barely move these days

Ole was warned. Maguire is to defending what Sean dyche is to opera singing

if the above is your definition of ā€œat faultā€ then Iā€™d be skeptical of your credentials to condemn the guy.

Harry Kane by any measurement is a world class player. Heā€™s recovering from a serious injury at the moment. Heā€™ll be alright

How about these two in the last few weeks? Is he not at fault here?

World class alright

Has a distain for Harry Winks, Harry Redknapp and Harry Hotspur. Probably Harry Secombe too.

Maguire is good ā€” I wouldnt say world class tho ā€” that term gets thrown around a bit too easily ā€¦

Iā€™d have the likes of VVD, Koulibaly, Skriniar , Laporte, Boateng, Thiago Silva and even Goidin ahead of himā€¦

Chiellini, Ramos, Pique all coming to the end but would also be rated higher than him ā€¦ I think heā€™s just below the top tier.
