Would also take Maguire over Gomez, especially on this seasons' evidence so far. Maguire has looked calm, assured and commanding, Gomez has looked like a leaky tap. Not tracking runners allowing them to drift between him and TAA, not spatially aware, been pretty sloppy so far this season. Might be that he's still getting back to full fitness, but right now I'd not only take Maguire over Gomez, but I'd take Matip over him as well.

...................... and Maguire has always been excellent for both Leicester and England.
He's also, so far, not put a foot wrong for United and doesn't seem to break bones.
I'd take him over Gomez all day long and suspect most non L'pool fan would too.

Maguire has on many occasions been caught out by forwards with quick feet , he is strong in the air , organised and leads the line - go at him with pace and quick feet and left for dead , happened many times for Leicester , England and last night one of the Wolves forwards ghosted past him and left him on his arse. Quick forwards are going to glide past him regularly.

Not seen tonights game but its kicking off on manc evening news with Utd fans asking whats the difference between the sterling goal last week ruled out with VAR. And tonights Wolves goal Not ruled out with both offsides involving a shoulder.

The difference is pretty simple; the Wolves player wasn't offside, Sterling was offside.

https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...ootball-news/man-utd-wolves-var-city-16782323

Look at the picture; the black line is the shoulder of the Wolves player, the yellow line is where the ball is. Therefore the Wolves player is behind the ball so cannot be offside. It doesn't matter where the United defender is. Even if you move the red line further down his arm, he's still behind the ball and therefore onside.

Think Liverpool have looked more solid at the back than City over the last couple of years but last year City were excellent. Of the back four Laporte was massive for us. But whoever stepped up n alongside looked comfortable. Be it Stones, Otamendi and even Komoany. Rb with Walker he was shaky, very shaky. Ave seen him
This year and he looked like Walker of a couple of years ago, until he gets outjumped and out muscled by someone who comes On and scores with his first touch. Hmmm Walker of old. Although Zincenko is doing really well at lb. he has not really been tested and i am gobsmacked. Thing is re City Pep has players who play rigidly to a system so whoever plays in what position. Even when it changes through the game, the players know what is expected of them.
Re City, i kinda expect a response from them this weekend. Could be a long 90 mins for Bournemouth. Watch this space.

It’s the type of CB he is and that’s why his partner is there

Vidic could be caught out by quick feet that’s why Rio was there

Terry had carvaliho at Chelsea and Rio at international level

Liverpool fans are often quick to point out that Man Utd sing a lot of songs about our rivals as if it’s a bad thing to have rivalry in football. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Read a very good piece from a neutral reporter last year about the rivalry between Liverpool and Utd, Going back decades. What started out as good rivalry became, lets say naughty.

Oh, it can be nasty and both sides do it. I've seen Liverpool fans get offended by songs about Heysel and Hillsborough who have no problems singing about Munich and vice versa (edited so I don't think I'm aiming at one team!). Hypocrisy is rife in football and it's not always the minority. I've sung some terrible stuff in the past and was surrounded by thousands doing the same. Too many people are quick to say "They aren't real fans". They absolutely are real fans, they're just real fans who will push that envelope of decency.

It's just that pack mentality isn't it. Thousands of people, if they're honest, are just like you and would sing along to all kinds of words they would never say as an individual to someone's face.
