UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [18th - 20th April 2023]

I just don't get why maguire faffs around with the ball. Know your limits and get rid
It's just the speed his brain operates at. Get ball. Oh I need to do something with, better have a good look around and think about what to do....play a pass putting team mates under pressure....repeat.

I think he's clearly been told to play the ball to be fair. He didn't have those problems at Leicester, or in previous seasons at United (he made a lot of mistakes but from memory most weren't him dawdling on the ball). He's not good enough for United in general, but certainly isn't capable of what ten Hag wants from his centre backs

Yep. As funny as he is to watch, you can't blame him for not being able to do something he's not capable of. Harry Maguire in a Stoke or Burnley side from years gone by, sat on the edge of his penalty area being asked to head things away with his fullback never more than 5 yards from his side, is a good player. He's not even a bad passer, when he's got time and space on the ball but he's too big, slow and clumbsy to play in tight spaces or defend high up the pitch.
 
ETH knows exactly why this performance is possible Savage you utter bell....it's possible because our competent CBs are crocked.
Yeah it's outrageous, you've only got £110m worth of centre backs on the pitch

In all seriousness, I think it's the lack of Bruno that's really done you. He's an annoying little man but when he's on form United are on form
