Just watched the highlights Varane’s injury probably pulled McGuire back too early, he looked off the pace.The problem with a balanced side is the players aren’t good enough, you can carry 1 or 2 not 5 or 6.
Yes they can be improved with coaching but there’s a couple of players whose attitudes aren’t right.

But the closing down was poor, I don’t think it’s a case of the players don’t know what to do .. the concept is simple. I don’t blame the manager either, I don’t see a need to explain at this level the closing down concept. I agree there should be an outlet but the press was poor. The midfield was poor, Pogba is a disaster, Fernandez is awol , Matic is not fast enough .. they need a proper cdm that breaks up the play. They also need to drill the wingers to cover the backs when they come up.
By not pressing up the pitch they don’t win the ball back and they definitely don’t have the capacity to pass back and build ..
Madrid are crap like this, they shipped a lot of goals .
Ronaldo was the same...sauntering around waiting for the ball all the time.I'm currently watching it on SS2, Pogba is just strolling around the pitch. You would expect someone with his ability to drag the team by the scruff of the neck and lead by example. His hair is nice though.
A fully fit maguire is average too.

Personally, I think bring him back has created a bigger problem.
Yeah can't disagree, but that's what you get with him.
He's still got it to win them games single handedly, I'm not sure he's got the desire to pick them up week after week.
AWB a great defender is an absolute myth.
When Ronaldo was announed, it was said he would inspire those around him including the younger players or his work ethic etc.Sancho and Greenwood are young enough to learn. It strikes me that they simply aren’t being told they have a responsibility when they lose the ball to work their nuts off to get it back. Neither would last five minutes in a Guardiola side.

Well it seems his ethic has rubbed off already.
Would those youngsters be allowed to amble around like that under Pep or Klopp?...No they would be off straight away with a flea in their ear.

Well done chaps, onwards and upwards. Was surprised how poor Everton were to be honest. A goal down with 10 minutes to go and just standing of us. Would be disappointed if I was a supporter.
Harry Maguire....hold my beer! ?I don’t like singling out individuals when a team has played poorly, but Danny Rose has put in as bad a performance as I have seen in years. Shockingly, embarrassingly poor.

So for the ones who say, why do linoes not flag when they think it's obviously offside........that Spurs 2nd in a nutshell.
just begs the question why didnt they do so in the Chelsea game yesterday
