Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[WhereAngelsPlay]

3 points is all I'm bothered about on Sunday but christ almighty I hope we give them an absolute pasting in the process.

As do I but it's nice to have a bit of wiggle room.

[12C]

Did Scholes really say their front 3 are world class ?  So his idea of a world class front 3 is one who is having a good season for the first time, one who is bang average and way over-rated, and one who has played about 10 games ?  Ok Ginger nuts, wise up.  Next time he goes on about Utd having over-rated players or not being consistent, he rally has no credibility
If that's the criteria for world class now, I reckon I can make it yet.

Scholes also believes he was a world class tackler

His "tackles" have paid for many a night out 

[12C]

I think Maguire would probably start beside VVD under Klopp. Pogba too if he could work. it's hard to project how putting these guys from a team that's essentially on fire into a winning machine under the best coach in the world would go. Martial I think would be a beast under Klopp

Seriously mate? Maguire turns like a container ship, come to think of it he looks like one.
Virgil would end up slapping him one if he had to play alongside him. Just because he is slow as fuck and has the positional awareness of a slab of blue tack.
Martial would have to up his work rate a fair bit to interest Klopp

[Ghost Town]

Certainly been a lot of rumours about his tackle

[Hazell]

He has the turning circle and stopping speed of an oil tanker.

Yeah, he's slow at that, but also just getting the ball under control and in a position to move. It boggles the mind how he's the most expensive defender in history.

[reddebs]

Sure it is but of all the teams to drop points to these lot would never give it a rest.  Christ we've not heard the last of them being the only team to take points off us already this season, no way do I want to give them even ammo!

[4pool]

LOL..

If you supported Man utd, wouldn't you want Maguire to start for Liverpool so LFC do drop points with draws and losses? Not to mention lower LFC's chances at winning any trophy.

You will have to work harder at getting shot of Maguire than that comment. Gomez, Matip both get the jump over Maguire probably Lovren too.

Fabinho and Henderson too

[Something Worse]

Has anyone corrected Tony on Maguire starting in a combined XI yet? Bold claim.

[Judge Red]

Maguire is a poor mans ruddock.

[Mr Benn please?]

But... if the football fairy godmother granted you one Man U player on a magical free transfer.... wouldn't you rather gamble that Klopp could reform Pogba, rather than take one of the others and gamble they could be as good as what youve already got ?

He doesn't have the discipline or the work ethic to play in a Klopp midfield and his attitude sucks.  Wouldn't swap him for any midfield player in our squad.

Yep, he seems to slow it right down. Fine if that's how you want to play, but its no wonder they've been criticised for slow, ponderous play a lot this season
Tell you what, off the top of my (slap) head, I don't know exactly how much they paid for him. With Van Dijk, even now, every time they (media, commentators etc) talk about him they mention 75 million. They don't ever seen to mention Maguire's price. Goes back to the being English thing for me, they don't mention it because everyone knows he's not worth it and hasn't justified it and they dont want to criticise big brave footballing centre half Harry the Warrior Maguire

[Morgana]

Ole takes it as a 'compliment' that Klopp's called them out on their negative bullshit football. 

[ToneLa]

United can fuck right off, I reckon

 

[Kopenhagen]

[Dim Glas]

the one thing that needs keeping an eye out with that little shit is his diving. He's already got it down to a fine art.

Hahahahaha. Maguire is far too slow. Please tell me you’re fishing.

[Son of Spion]

Wow, it just shows you how far Everton these have gone.

Instead of showing us a picture of their latest trophy and suggesting we are the next team to get beat, they post a picture of some nark I've never heard of and act like it's all about a ruck in a pub car park rather than a professional, top flight, football match.

 

How the mighty have fallen. 

[King Kenny 7]

True I forgot Gomez existed with the injuries. That and I tend to dodge your games nowadays because you just win. He's a lot better than Maguire on peak form. Think Maguire on form prob gets in ahead of Matip

Cool, good to see you back your lads.

That said  . . .Anything is possible and its time you got a downright good spanking from us.
This is not about league position or The Prem itself - this is about us v you.


Have a good Sunday but hope our's is better. 

[BarryCrocker]

Are they players he's been booked for butchering?

6 yellows this season. Bet OGS sends him out to do a Choudhury on Mo.

[Macphisto80]

This belongs in the Half Price Hooligans thread.

Love to see him try some of that shit on Robbo.

[reddebs]

They will do whatever it takes to try and stop us from winning the title this season.

Deliberately injuring someone putting them for the season, getting someone sent off preferably with a 3 match ban and taking points off us are all options and probably in that order.

They know their season is a write off so they still need some acclaim for effecting the outcome and they can live off the above scenarios for a few seasons if not decades, or until they start winning again if necessary.

It'll be Mo and Trent he's after so hopefully Fab's back and Hendo moves over to the right.  Let's see the tough little shit have a go at him.

Picture in the bottom right, one of yerniteds fine, upstanding young gentlemen is aiming a punch to the back of the City player’s head. Stylish.

Like most other teams who play against us, its make no difference how Ole sets his team up. He can play 11 strikers or 11 defenders, the pattern of play will be the same regardless with United chasing shadows all game long.

[TepidT2O]

Hahahahaha. Maguire is far too slow. Please tell me you’re fishing.

How different is he to Lovren though?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Maguire trying to play in a defensive line as high as ours would be hilarious

Fixed that for you

[12C]

How different is he to Lovren though?

Neither would be in the side ahead of VVD Matip or Gomez

[Kekule]

Next for what? Getting a soppy look off him?

Mo’s probably not sleeping he’s that worried.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

It's no surprise that all they can offer is thuggish behaviour.

[rob1966]

Andy Robertson says see you tomorrow

[leroy]

I'll admit that I haven't seen massive amounts of Maguire's matches but from what I have seen he'd be 5th choice for Liverpool.

[swoopy]

The Daniel James train has gone very quiet hasn't it ? Scored a couple of goals against relegation fodder and was going to be the next Giggs Beckham Scholes Januzaj Macheda. Done absolutely nothing since except learn the fine art of throwing himself to the ground under very minimal contact.

[Mighty_Red]

It's no surprise that all they can offer is thuggish behaviour.

The worst thing for them is that they are sending a kid to do this work. It could be child cruelty when he comes up against Robbo & Hendo!

[rob1966]

Dunno about that, Van Den Berg and Hoever would have something to say about that

Considering they spunked £80 million on him, you'd expect him to walk into any side. I've seen a lot of him due to the missus watching their games and I've seen nothing in him that suggests he would get anywhere near our team.

[aw1991]

Mohamed Salah: You're next

[Yosser0_0]

I really don't know anybody that rates Pogba, and I'll include most United fans in that statement.

Interesting take on the current situation at their club in comparison to ours:-
