Agree. In hindsight probably should have been left out of the England squad again this time. Or in the squad but left out of the team. | |

Yes, he is not good enough for England. He is Manu standard. | |

Harry McGuire. on 10:04 - Oct 15 with 3054 views | D_Alien | Talk about kick a man when he's down (Yeah, yeah, he did some kicking last night) Maguire was plenty good enough when we made the World Cup semis, and has shown outstanding form for much of the time since We all know what's causing his current fall from that place; seeking to defend his sister from attack in a foreign land Have a go if you must, he's an easy target right now Would I have picked him last night? No. But I hope he can recover from this and restore his form in due course [Post edited 15 Oct 2020 10:06]

I disagree, it was awful defending and as RR said he could have gone for the first one. Media and personal life aside, I’m always surprised at how immobile and slow he can be. He’s similar to Eric Dier at Spurs. Big and clunky. I’m not sure that you can be that slow and be at the top of the modern game anymore. [Post edited 15 Oct 2020 10:58]

As much as I enjoyed England’s trip to the semis a few years back, a bit of perspective is required. We didn’t play what you would call a ‘good’ team until we got to the semis and when we did the usual failings came flooding back. As most United fans would testify, he’s done ok but I’m not sure he’s been outstanding. | |

Actually, we did - we met Belgium in the group stages and duly lost! [Post edited 15 Oct 2020 10:26]

Harry McGuire. on 10:51 - Oct 15 with 2970 views | Hopwoodblue | As it always seems when shove comes to push every manager seems to freeze when it comes to putting so called flare players on the pitch. Denmark were well organised defensively in both games.They were never going to play an attacking game but we need to field players who will cause teams problems. I know we had players missing last night but the likes of Grealish running at their defence would have been the last thing they wanted. It would have created space and drawn fouls which would have created opportunities for us. I would have also started both Calvert Lewin and Kane and got balls into them. Also the fact that we cannot seem to find a someone good enough who’s left sided amazes me you would think we could find three or four that could do a job even if it’s not on a regular basis. If have to say it was disappointing last night even before the sending off. I think the team selection caused that. | |

I remember now, and those same failings returned. Again, just not good enough against better (or even on par) opposition. | |

I don't get the sudden big love in for Grealish,yes he's got talent without doubt,I just think from a formation point of view he is sometimes too much of a flair player,regularly holds on to the ball far too long also for my liking. [Post edited 15 Oct 2020 12:13]

I agree about the media pundits attacking him, it’s just bullying, and will no doubt be affecting his mental health. He hasn’t just become a bad player, but we don’t know the full story about what happened in Greece , the sister claims seem a bit dodgy to me. He does need resting for a bit, for his own well being | |

I get your point about who we played, but my post wasn't lacking perspective The media (and fans) love building players up and Maguire performed well; but they love knocking them down again even more, and some of the posts in this thread exemplify that | |

I find it remarkable that Southgate spoke for ages about England "not playing with a number 10" as justification for not including the likes of Maddison and Grealish in his squad - but then vs Wales he played Danny Ings wide right. If we are all of a sudden willing to play players out of positions, then surely Grealish and Maddison could have done a job on either side of a front three, given that they've both played there quite a few times for their clubs? Didn't catch the game last night but the fact that Ainsley Maitland-Niles is good enough to start tells me that we are a long, long way from being one of the top international sides. | |

Agree there. He's a very good defender who's plainly drastically out of form at the moment. He improved both England's and United's defence no end when he was first introduced (United had the 3rd best defence last season, conceding only 3 more than the top defence - Liverpool). It's clear what's affecting him is a mental problem rather than simply being out of form. Whether having your play affected so much by something like that qualifies him to be a top player is another debate. Nevertheless the idea that he's suddenly a poor defender is absurd. He needs a rest. It won't happen though as he's the media's number one target and it's fun to laugh at his downfall. Apparently. | | | |

A mental problem does not give you the turning speed of an oil tanker, which is generous to him. His apparent inability to read the game and his stupid mistakes and poor judgment you could put down to mental issues maybe. He is a decent player but against any form of pace or flair he will get ripped apart, unless he has someone next to him able to cover his errors. At our level Reeves was amazing next to Butler, they just worked, Rio at his best would have been ideal. If he has issues mentally then he needs resting, but he has to a point brought them on himself, even if you believe the paper stories which I don’t. If he can afford 60k plus on a bar bill he can afford adequate security, or just don’t go on holiday there, Ferguson would not have let him. I hope Cody gets a real run as he looks the real deal, maybe Declan rice as well but not sure he is ready, but playing a very very bad version of Butcher/Adams/Terry won’t get us anywhere | |
