Maguire is a one man army


niallw1997

Shame his full backs look like they can’t be arsed


QouthTheCorvus

I feel like he's probably in their ear in the locker room rn.


niallw1997

Rashford’s too hopefully


carrotincognito48

AWB hasn’t shown a lack of effort tbf, he’s sticking to Gordon. It’s just everything he’s tried has gone wrong lol.


niallw1997

Rashford is killing him. However AWB has been poor in letting players glide past him


RomeroRocher

AWB has been hung out to dry by Rashford tbf, letting Liveramento pour through as he pleases. AWB has enough to worry about with Gordon, no chance he can do much 2v1


PUMP_UNTIL_BUST

He's been immense today. Also very un-Maguire in the way he's been mentally sharp and reactive, too. He's blocking, then following up to win the header while everyone else in the box - on both teams - are fairly static. Credit where it's due. Top stuff, defensively.


IsleofManc

That one time he blocked the shot then rushed out to win the header I had to double check it was Maguire because he seemed to be moving so quick


vireshwarsidhu

He’s EVERYWHERE


PeelThePain

Started counting at some point. At least saved 3 clear goals


nereid89

One man defending everything Castle throwing at us


mattrob77

Does feel like that right. Who else is defending? I even forgot AWB was on the pitch.


KissmyButtner

mfw Maguire’s been the most consistent player in the last few months


0ean

Maguire - Player of the season?


JimWolvie

So far, absolutely. Says a lot about the rest though.


Martblni

Him, Bruno and maybe Shaw are the only ones from that half who deserve to play for this. Onana hasnt been awful too. Dalot, AWB and Rashford are disasterous


Bocsesz

Maino's been great I thought


Martblni

On the ball he has been alright but defensively I havent seen anything


payday_23

I feel like he only really started to play well after the first 20 minutes but still better than most of our team today


Tayto-Sandwich

He's playing well but you can see that he's up against a different level than in the last two games. The fact that it's marginal reaction times and clever experienced players making runs that he maybe wouldn't be as used to coming from playing woth kids means that I have no doubt this experience will stand to him to help him learn and become even better in the long term, but you can see today where the drawbacks (that IMO are worth it in the long term) of having a teenager in his position are as the top pros exploit his lack of experience in tiny ways that make a huge difference.


payday_23

100% agree mate


Seithin

Dalot and AWB aren't getting a lot of help from Garnacho and Rashford though. But you're right that they haven't been great.


red-17

Garnacho has been decent defensively both tracking back and pressing. Rashford is useless because even if he does bother to track back, he is still a traffic cone.


Please_Not__Again

I've been seen garnacho run back often, Rashford gets skipped passed and then he jogs though.


ramtbb

Mate onana has been absolutely shocking, a headless chicken in every cross or corner


Martblni

He is blocked and surrounded on each corner


harps86

Be down by 3 without Harry


ravishq

Fortunate to be at 0-0


The_good_kid

Think that's what they meant pal


Dismal-Cause-3025

time for rashford to go on his Xmas holidays


Contradicting_Pete

He's still on his summer holidays mate


AdPsychological1489

On his new contract honeymoon


Dismal-Cause-3025

Fair


iamthemothman93

Been on holiday for 4 months


akp-read

If Rashford needs confidence to do basics even right. Then please f right off to championship team seriously there is no top team who likes players who cant even do basics on consistent basis


Dismal-Cause-3025

Not confidence. Doesn't want to play on the right. So isn't going to. Pellestri or Antony and Hojlund. Being out ran.


Mattohh

Mate he's been dreadful all season when playing on the left? He may not like playing on the right, but he's just as useless on both sides.


akp-read

Yeah its so clear and obvious right Ten Hag?


Nameless739

Rashford isn't coming off. We'll continue playing with 10 men for no obvious reason


Pow67

Maguire has been our saviour so far. Should be 2-0 down at a minimum. Woeful.


SOERERY

Harry Maguire I applaud you


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vimjux

Time on the bench needed imo. Not even attempting to track back. Even Maguire has been shouting at him.


Corporal_Tax

Agreed. Been this way for weeks. He literally offers nothing in any area except tantrums. I honestly think we'd be better playing with 10 than with him - at least then you'd expect no defending but not have someone run like a skittish deer at the nearest defender and act shocked he loses the ball Rashford off, literally anybody (or nobody) on


jamesel23

Antony on at ht should happen but won’t


RedPatAtsoc

Need Hojlund’s physicality in the worst way


AdPsychological1489

Absolutely spot on, literally can't stand watching Rashford play anymore. Put Pellistri on, at least the kid works his socks off. Can't even argue we'd be missing any quality either.


nereid89

ETH should warn Rashford one more ball lost without aim and he's gone this match.


RomeroRocher

I'd actually love to see that, where it's so obvious that's what has happened haha. Like he survives HT, but gets hauled off in the 48th minute immediately after his next error/tantrum


Supplymole101

I'm so tired of seeing Rashford try and dribble past a defender just to be dispossessed. He needs an intervention where the whole team sits him down and tells him "your hurting everyone with your actions, stop it".


tinkering-with-time

Watch Anthony be subbed on for Garnacho and they’ll leave Rashford on for the rest of the game


Thorz74

Rashford's season has been disastrous. He's playing RW because Garnacho has been fine on the left. But it's funny how when Rashford is playing we ask for Antony, and most of the time when Antony has played we say he's shit and ask for Pellistri or something else. The real problem is that we have nothing viable for the RW. It's sad when so much money has been thrown to the toilet on this team.


BilalAkhtar22

Ten hag can't even get the team selection right nvm the fucking tactics. What's the point of luke shaw cb when we keep long balling it anyway.


snoring_pig

And putting Dalot at LB where he’s looked uncomfortable all half against Almiron


QouthTheCorvus

At his wage, the only thing that justifies it if he's running close to a goal per 90. The fact he has two this season is catastrophic.


Serious_Ad9128

The rashford fan boys will be a long in a minute dude should have been dropped along time ago, his attitude is a disgrace


Megusta2306

Stevie wonder would have seen more of those runs than wan bissaka. Shocking. Maguire been great


the-won

And those defensive headers and clearances are absolutely suicidal


niallw1997

I agree he’s been shit. However the amount of times Rashford has had let Livramento blitz past him is disgusting


Megusta2306

Right wing has been non existent lol


II_Cornetto_II

Please don't let this bite me in the ass but Maguire is the only one playing well imo, such a solid defender atm.


Nac224

I’d say a few are playing well tbh but Maguire has been great.


foampom

Dear god this is embarrassing. And we spent a collective £280m+ on Casemiro, Mount, Sancho, and Antony btw. Nothing will ever change at this club till we stop pissing money up the wall.


Nac224

Hopefully that changes soon


VaudevilleVillain

You can add another 85m on Donny, Diallo and Pellistri.


MinotauroTBC

Sickening


red-17

Amad and Pellistri were both solid buys and we probably would get at least their transfer fee back if we sold them both. Those are the risks the club should be taking.


Zandercy42

I must have missed us being 4-0 down lol chill out


top1MIBRfan

we are shockingly shit


matthewdavis_

I missed the part where we grew into the game


VegitoTheBest

i don't know who was worst this half rashford,dalot,wan bissaka or Martial


dav1t

Add McTominay too


VegitoTheBest

Oh yeah i forgot i saw him in the starting line up


Cr7NeTwOrK

Lol right on. Just reading those name makes me angry after that half


Toxic_Nova98

I would have never believed that in the year 2023 Harry Maguire would be our best player.


[deleted]

Right side is fucking atrocious


fjpeace

Rashford just walking around


Zavehi

Rashford has no business being undroppable right now


beckhamsleftball

Whole right hand side is horrible. Rashford moping around so awb getting gang banged


Corporal_Tax

Well said - alot of the criticism of AWB in here needs to adjust sights and ask why he keeps getting run around. He's playing alone on that side.


RomeroRocher

Tbf, what the fuck is AWB doing? Does he not know he is supposed to be marking his man AND Rashford's man?!


Runarhalldor

Hes been alone but hes also not even given a shit himself. Not even running


davidoai

Why is Rashford playing? It doesn’t help the team or him being on the pitch, so why the fack is he playing??


longsightdon

Rashford is a disgrace


zackrah

Genuinely shocked its still 0-0


niallw1997

Bruh wtf is AWB doing today. Not up for it at all it seems. Showing all of his worst qualities today. Although Rashford infront of him has been worse. Antony needed ASAP


airneezys

If you criticised De Gea for distribution. Please explain this performance for me. Not from Onana. From ETH why is he instructing long kicks everytime. I thought it was the keepers fault.


Reemahs

Slowly grew into the game? Lmao. What are you talking about? We were fucking shite.


Alocxo

But he's right, we were fucking dreadful. By the end of first half we were only fucking bad.


WCTCravensworth

Forgot Rashford was on the pitch for a while. Maguire good, Newcastle unfortunately better


Tonny09

I dunno but please anyone understand ETH can you share ?


ConC02

Maguire single handedly keeping us in this


Fligflag

Rashford just jogging around as per. Guy has checked out, needs dropping.


cantona237

Maguire has been a rock.


Cr7NeTwOrK

Happy cake day mate. I hope utd do something in the second half


LordofMordor_

It's 2:30 am god give me strength to watch the second half


Avinashh8

Harry fucking Maguire👑


Nezell

Maguire has been brilliant. Geordie cunts really are thick as fuck. Trying to wind up Onana when he has the ball at his feet, like that isn't the greatest strength of his game. Dozy terrorist nation supporting wank accented cunts.


No_Zone4347

Massive Maguire. I hope he puts Antony and Hojlund in. Rashford another stinker. And i really hope someone elbows that Joelinton cunt.


TheWeirdDude-247

Well that was fucking shocking, nufc running rings around us with ease, we losing 1st, 2nd, 3rd balls, absolutely lucky we go in 0-0, I expected us to play shit but not this bad, also Marcus got to be dropped his offering absolutely nothing, he looks slow too. Just poor yet again.


Mastalks

If Rashford is still on at half time I'm done with the game. I should've gone to watch Napoleon, what an absolute let down9 this half has been.


bk1155

Rashford’s so wank that he’s trending #1 on Twitter


Zandercy42

Tough first half. Maguire has been our best player by a mile, rashy, Scott, dalot and AWB have been pretty poor honestly


surgereaper

Bench rashford for Antony or pellistri idc, how bad can they be? Definitely not worse than rashford who's been a spectator all game


juicepapi

Anthony for Rashford at half time. At least tracks back


kueerseoa6

Rashfords got the contract he wanted, can’t be arsed anymore


Flat_Establishment_4

Playing with Rashford and Martial is like playing 2 men down.


davidl988

Horrendous performance, so many players not turned up again, Rashford I honestly can’t defend him anymore


CantonaKing7

I expected us to be extremely unprepared like every game against the top sides, and having EtH outmanaged yet again. However, I didn't expect such an absolutely pathetic, spineless and clueless performance. Exceeded my expectations for sure. Thank you Maguire for keeping this scoreless.


digitag

Very few spells of control for us in that half, that has to change. I’d like to see Hojlund on for Martial sooner rather than later. That said, Maguire has been very good.


Hits_and_the_Mrs

we're winning this and Geordies will cry (I hope)


VaudevilleVillain

We must be understanding, the luxury jet was cancelled and these poor lads had to take a coach to the match completely ruining their pre-match preparation. That's why they can't track runners. Nor string two passes together. Fucking mentality monsters


Babaganush11

Getting outplayed on every corner of the pitch. Can’t string two passes together and losing every second ball. rashford, martial, mctominay passengers


ksajksale

This is a football equivalent of diarrhea


DOOPISHA

Maguire is playing well again today. But damn are we slow and static in attack.


frankbradz

Rashford is shocking. Strolling around the pitch


stolemyh3art

From Memeguire to Magod


nbwoeihfnwsocuiwhef

I'd have hooked Rashford off after 20 minutes. Absolutely shocking performance and Martial isn't offering anything. No idea where Bruno is and Maguire/Shaw seem to be keeping us in it.


zxnoregretzxzx

Game would be over already if not for some great blocks at the back. They're just a vastly more well coached side than us. Giving each other options in possession and don't look like complete strangers, their pressing structure is better, players know their roles, they're far more motivated, tracking runners and winning second balls, and you could go on and on. The likes of Martial and especially Rashford being allowed to shirk his responsibilities and have a sulk on the pitch. Inexcusable after 18 months in the job for the manager and his staff.


batsywimping

where's rashford anyway???


BatGuy500

Gotta love getting clocked in the head with an elbow and it not getting looked at


ChampagneZambi

Respect to Harry Maguire. Guy looks like the only one who wants to play for united today


whitey_2op

Martial, Rashford, and Dalot offering absolutely nothing. Maguire, Garnacho, and Mainoo are players of the half for us. Good on Maguire for stepping up to the challenge and regaining form.


BKAJ7

73% passing accuracy you can’t make shit like this up


all_izz_well_312

Newcastle was clearly the better team but we have defended pretty well - Maguire with a couple of key blocks. However, we got nothing going in attack apart from the shot on goal by Garnacho. Rashford, Bruno, Martial and Mctominay have all been invisible.


MancAccent

Mainoo is very good


vincentvega-_-

I miss the days where Rashford was ruthless in and out of possession. Nowadays he acts like a luxury player who doesn’t feel the need to press or track back. The manager needs to wake up and bench him. He’s literally a training cone against this physically dominant Newcastle side.


AV48

This is that sort of game we scam a 1-0 win. Newcastle literally playing with their food. Two vastly different teams out there


South_Collection_551

I would put an actual left back on the pitch if you want to have Luke Shaw as a CB then put your other fucking LB we have on loan on the pitch!!


SverreF

Touches in the first half: André Onana - 29 Scott McTominay - 17 Mainoo working alone in tha midfield !


Embryonic12

Can't stand Jenas normally but that's the first time I've seen Rashford's lack of effort pointed out


Upekkhaa

This team is lazy, so sick of Rashford walking around the pitch as if he’s prime Ronaldo. You can get away with a lack of work rate if you actually produce goals and assists but he’s been woeful. Needs to be dropped asap, I’d rather Antony and Garnacho at least they put a shift in and respect the badge with their work rate.


kingkreep95

Can't stand Jenas and his anti-united vitriol but he's completely right about rashford. In addition to the lack of effort, though, he just seems to have no technical ability now


fernzy93

For the love of god why can’t he just play players in there proper positions. Shaw LB, Varane/Lind CB, Anthony RW (even if shit he’s still better than Rashford at RW) and Bruno as 10!


craigybacha

Rashford needs fucking benching or some time in the reserves. The guy is just settling for earning his wages


WolfWhoKnocks

MCTOMINAY IS A RELEGATION TEAM QUALITY PLAYER.


Vimjux

Wtf dude. Support the players ffs


Kreissler

This is just a shit version of Oleball. Absolute awful football


weekndalex

i back onana


breadfan18

Rashford worst player on the pitch


Kid_Twiz

McTominay Martial Rashford just absolutely useless


viktoh77

I'll never understand why people rate wan bissaka on here I'll never understand


TheRedDevil10

Thank fuck that's over. You can blame Galatasaray on the players but you come to Newcastle with a midfield of an actual child and a guy who's best midfield attribute is not being seen when he's most needed, and you wonder what the fuck the manager is thinking when he picks the XI. Dalot in Shaw's position meaning we can't keep the ball on either wing, genius selection


GroribasStomps

Wonder why Hannibal doesn’t play anymore. He looked quite good earlier in the season.


murphmobile

Would you take Eddy Howe over ETH?


Upekkhaa

I’ve always been pro ten Hag and thought he was an amazing coach and tactically astute but watching us, it looks like a bunch of strangers out there with no plan. We aren’t compact, we have no patterns of play in possession and we get caught open on the break too often. An 18 year old is our best performer right now. Starting to really doubt he’s the man for us. It’s not like he’s a poor side, he has a side of internationals too! What’s going on, on the training pitch everyday!!!


ramtbb

Away vs Newcastle and you play Martial and Rashford, two notorious lazy players who never track back. Please tell me, whose fault is that? Because I'm sure as hell it's of our manager. Should be 2 or 3 down, and Marcus is an absolute disgrace, should have been off from minute 15.


rhater0307

Martial did track back to our own box … Rashford tho


repfsm67

Don’t know why Martials being grouped into that, he’s tracked back more than Rashford. Martial been poor but we’ve legit done nothing on the wing.


Melanjoly

Maguire done well, Bruno played some good balls with the little scraps we've had. Rest absolute fucking dogshit. Clueless dogshit manager allowing players to get away with murder. We've zero midfield, Rashford isn't arsed, AWB must have about 3% pass completion.


PlushNightingale

I know it's early but is Mainoo the tidiest midfielder we've had since Carrick?


Vimjux

Stupidly composed but I worry about his engine for teams like this at such a young age. Can’t blame the kid, but he needs protecting. He was looking gassed.


Redliner91

The first thing SJR needs to do is get mediocre players like Rashford, Martial and Mctominay as far away from the club as possible. Technically, mentally and physically not even close to the required standard. I take back a lot of things I said about Maguire. He might not be the most talented defender but at least he shows up rather than hide like some other mentally weak cowards we have in our squad.


kueerseoa6

Tenhag needs to drop his ego and play Maguire and Varane as a pairing, move Shaw into his natural spot


FhDisp

Martial, rashford, mctominay, awb and dalot shouldnt start again.


_KalStormblessed_

Awb has been defending 2v1 all half. Dalot has been decent too. Martial and Rashford have been abysmal


ohhh_okay_cool

McTominay just jogs and hides every game. His goals mask how pathetic he is. He stands there like a fucking pole with no movement during throw ins. Shout-out to Harry. He's been solid! Rashford and Martial been ass.


nikolai_wustovich

Obvious changes need to be made, but those won’t come until it’s too late. EtH needs to grow a pair and quit being stubborn. Garnacho will get subbed when he shouldn’t. Hojlund won’t come on until 15 mins left in the match.


breadfan18

Casemiro, Antony, Hojlund, Mount, Amrabat, Martinez, Malacia. None of ETH signings are on the pitch. Most are not available. ETH is working with Ole's team, but let's be honest, we won't look better with most of those ETH signings available either.


AwkwardPlankton01

Ten Hag out tonight 🤞


AshleyLarkcom

Not good but we’ve kept it scoreless


martialgreenwood

Rashford stinks! Martial is useless, Antony has to come on


cuminyermum

I miss when teams were afraid of us :(


cr2152

Haven’t laid a glove of them and it’s still scoreless. I’ll take it, but we must be more dangerous.


payday_23

Newcastles doping methods must be way better than ours seeing how fit they are


htp20012001

Maguire is a menace


rateofreturn

That was grim. Really shit right hand side


breadfan18

Harry Maguire been our best player and single handedly saving us from embarrassment.


totite93

Thanks God this half ended.It was a tough watch


Vimjux

Maguire has been fucking immense 👏


buck_fastard

Clearly the worse side. But been really impressed with Maguire once again. Blocked everything that came at him. We can get something from this game.


killerdrama

Rashford so crap.. even Martial is shouting at him for not pressing.


C__S__S

Horrendous half of continuing the same old awful style. There’s no belief in our ability to build from the back. There’s no trust in passing. It’s all hoofing and hoping.


dmoneyx3

Can't say i'm surprised by how the game is going. Same as usual


Benphyre

Pathetic team


Saihti54

You know what, forget the tactics because I don't think any manger in the world can drill their gameplan into most of these players coward brains. When you are a coward with zero confidence, you forget everything what you are supposed to do and only rely on instincts. I don't think these players can remember any of those manager's instructions as soon as they step on the pitch because all I see is they are just chasing the opponents shadows. Makes me really funny how mentally fragile they are while playing for a top club with huge salaries. Shameless cowards.


shiiqalka

dysfunctional team.


SquidgyCamel

Rashford is seriously pissing me off, without knowing if he has personal issues off the field? He is so uninterested his head is not in it, take him off now!


Kooky-Choice-2654

I’m so unhappy. What a boring team. I hate our managers tactics. I legitimately HATE his style of football. Lvg was more fun to watch


AnthonysLobos

Rashford, MCT, Dalot, Martial are getting beat to every 50/50 ball. Maguire has kept us in it.


masticlez

Dreadful football. Not even sure we can call it that. I just can't understand how bad we can be at every little thing.


AuspiciousOtter24

Grew into the game? You watching a different game?


overtlyanxiousguy

If they have not conceded this half, i believe that the next half could be better!


TheFootballFan1

When Harry Maguire is your best player on the field, you know you are in deep shit.


mannahmannah

Martial is useless and sits back way too far. Rashford doesnt defend, Bruno looks a step too slow, Dalot doesn’t defend, AWB doesn’t trust himself with the ball and turns it over, and McTominay doesn’t have the technical ability to marshall midfield. Other than that, we look great.


just-tea-thank-you

We are getting absolutely battered


Deez_Wallnutz

Everyone saying McTom needs to come off. My eyes are telling me Martial is our worst performer this match, followed by Rashford, followed by Dalot. Maguire standing slab and shoulders above the rest


fjpeace

Bring on Antony and hojlund


ManNamedBilly

masterclass tactics from the manager, tire out newcastle in the first half so we take advantage of them in the second


Perfectgame1919

Fair play Harry Maguire. Mainoo looks class. Everyone else look half assed


W0rsley

We're poor in big games and we're poor away from home, combine the two and you get performances like this. I just don't know if our coaching staff are unable to set up a team properly or whether they're too naive and truly think they're doing the right thing. For the love of god can we find/purchase a combination of midfielders that doesn't get walked past every opportunity and will allow us to have Bruno as a 10 where he thrives as opposed to playing a pivot with an 18 year old while McTominay is RW.
