StriderHiryu Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Idiotic decision making from him today. Just take the 1-0 goal and let the team turn it around. For me, he has been our worst defender this season, and that includes 2 reds and some absolutely horrendous Morgan mistakes. Maguire is superb bringing the ball out, but he needs to work on the fundamentals. His positioning is poor, and his tackling average. I hope he turns it around because he is a very likable person, but honestly the suspension might do him some good. Let's try Soynucu for some games, or at least bring him off the bench. On current form and with his Celtic experience, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Benkovic in the first team next season.

Agree with all that but personally, I think he flatters to deceive when coming out with the ball imo as I see him as cumbersome which tends to slow us down. He usually takes three or four paces, stops, takes three or four more, stops, by which time Vardy and others are marked and nullified. It will be good to see who comes in and how they do. Would like Soyuncu to be given an opportunity but trust Rodgers, who sees him every day to make the right decision.

He never intended to take him down, it was a accidental trip as he tried to chase him. He had to go but I not convinced he meant it.
st albans fox Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Yep - England centre back desired by Man City and Man Utd and prob the other top six clubs isn’t good enough for us ......

I feel the same and a yelllow card instead of red.Ive seen heaps that are worse. no surprise he has sent the most players of this year.I think thats his 9th.
Ian Nacho Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 I've not seen it back but at the time I thought it was soft. He was just behind him and was clumsy. Given the ref a decision to make though.

I don’t think it was intentional either but It can’t be a yellow card in that situation, if he’s given the foul then he must give a red card
Guest Mee-9 Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 He's had a dodgy month or so but at the end of the day, he's class. Just a dip in form.
murphy Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 A lot of people have been excited about the high press that Rodgers brings, but that also brings a high defensive line which can cause us problems with our slow CBs such as it has today. I think Harry knew what he was doing. He took one for the team and it worked out. He is still a very good player. Let's focus on the positives - Tielemans, Barnes, Wilf, Maddison....

Didn't say he's not good enough for us, but I am saying that his current form is poor, which it is. He is suspended now anyway, but I feel like being dropped for a game or two is not the worst thing that could happen. 3 minutes ago, Mee-9 said: He's had a dodgy month or so but at the end of the day, he's class. Just a dip in form. I do hope it's just a dip in form. As I say I like the player a lot, but he's made too many mistakes this season for my liking.
LCCFox96 Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Maguire is one who could do with the end of the season. He's had a summer and season fulled with very high highs and very low lows. His form has dropped off since he's returned from injury but he's a defender with plenty of room/time to improve. If a £45-50mil offer came in I would probably be happy to take that but, unless the sale is something the club NEED to bring in other targets, I'd keep him and would be happy if he was still here next season.
urban.spaceman Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 I’ve seen it a bunch of times and I still can’t see much contact. Especially not enough to go down. More of a dive than a foul. It especially irked me because we’ve seen time and time again more blatant fouls being given only a yellow (Kompany vs Vardy for starters).
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 ****ing hell. God forbid one of our players has a dip in form. Harry Maguire returns to form signs for a top four club. Our fans: he’s disloyal.
trabuch Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 It's all part of a cunning plan to make him less desirable to other clubs. We'll keep him over the summer and he'll find his form next season.
LinekersApples Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 It all worked out OK though didn't it. Move on
Fox992 Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 If he hadn't of made the challenge we may of lost the game as In previous games when we went behind early. As it was we won so probably the right choice to sacrifice himself for the team. If we would of lost people would of been saying why didn't he make the challenge.
TheSomersetFox Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 He does need to improve, but let’s get behind a player who’s out of form for once - rather than slag them off ay?

He's slow and, for a defender, reads the game poorly. Evans and Morgan are proper defenders. Harry can occasionally bring the ball out, but first and foremost we need someone who can defend. He would be ok at the likes of Man City or Man Utd because he would probably only have to deal with a couple of attacks in a game.

In your opinion Harry can occasionally bring the ball out, No, he can always bring the ball out, unlike some of our other central defenders He would be ok at the likes of Man City or Man Utd because he would probably only have to deal with a couple of attacks in a game.. isn’t that the position we’re striving to get to ??. when he rocks up at yanited next season and looks like a snip at 45m, you’ll all be moaning as to why we sold him ......
Vardinio'sCat Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 He hasn't been great recently, but we should all remember that most of our players were losing form towards the end of Puel. Some have picked up quickly, but we haven't had great stability at CB this season. So let's not stick the boot in too hard. He will be very useful when VAR comes in.
jammie82uk Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 1 minute ago, womp said: although I understand what your saying then shouldn't most handballs or fouls in the box be red cards too? No because accidental fouls in the box by a last defender denying a goal scoring opportunity fall under the triple jeopardy rules and result in a yellow card
norwichfox Posted 16 March 2019 Posted 16 March 2019 Can he play in the forthcoming international, if not will the missed international count as a match towards his ban?
