Like you and Lindelof you mean?I don't think it helps any of our players when our fans have such ridiculous agenda's against them.
There was big question marks against Smalling at the time and many fans were calling for his head. When Ole advised him he may not get the playing time he would want Smalling himself requested the move.I dont agree about Smalling but it is actually irrelevant. I think he is the best available centre half to play alongside Maguire but if the manager doesnt fancy him then he has to go. My problem is the way they have gone about getting rid of him.

I understand some of your points and agree Maguire hasnt been excellent for United. That said I have been taking the view that he could become excellent (Vidic was truly awful in his first season).You don't see many better when he is at his best? when is he at his best? He's been average for all his united career. Someone in who is in the top 3 would not make these errors. he has made loads of mistakes, probably in games where Lindelof doea and everyone just highlights Lindelof.
Surely these point out he is too error prone to be labelled excellent, one of the best etc.
If you can't see that then you will never see it.
All our centre backs are average at best. All the Spurs game pointed to me was, forget RM, Greenwood is capable, even Lingard at RM is better than the shower at the back.
It's our CB and LB that need the money spending. I would sell any one of our CB's should a bid come in, but they won't come in.
and to be honest, this wasn't meant to be undermining Maguire.
It's to prove the blinkered thinking it's Lindelof's fault, it's Bailly's fault, Maguire is brilliant is way off the truth.
I might be tempted to try Bailly and Lindelof, it's got that bad.
Maguire should be dropped after his performance yesterday
Are you suggesting Maguire should be immune from scrutiny for his performances? Do you think his place should be guaranteed regardless of performance?Tuanzebe and Bailly it is then.
Get Max Taylor back from Kidderminster HarriersThat’s not what I said at all.
I’m saying if we’re dropping Maguire on that performance, Lindelof can’t come in based on his and the next two in line are Bailly and Tuanzebe.
Are you suggesting Lindelof should be immune and shouldn’t be dropped after his shockers against Brighton and Palace?
The gold standard of this kind of pairing was Rio and Vidic.
Tend to agree. I guess I am ready for seeing a bit more of Henderson.I only mentioned De Gea because he doesn't boss that defence. And he is error prone to be fair. He is part of the problem
If the Smalling deal doesn’t get done perhaps we will start seeing him around the first team.
11 goals conceded in 3 games surely gives the back up defenders a chance to stake their claim.
Can we still sell to PL clubs after today?
After a start like this doors are open to everyone it's been a shambles all over the pitch so if you're at the club then stake your claim for a starting spot by impressing in training and taking your chance if it comes your way.
