A thread on why @HarryMaguire93 isn't the problem just from tonight's goal alone...
@awbissaka has switched off an negated a space for @JackGrealish to run into.
But there are 3 bodies you hope to block a cross/shot. @paulpogba(yellow) is with him man. Same for @HarryMaguire93(blue), @LukeShaw23 checks his shoulder for his man (purple). Still no major issues
Still men to block the cross, Bailey( white) in the space to clear up. But @paulpogba is starting to lose his man, @LukeShaw23 hasn't closed down the space.
@paulpogba and @LukeShaw23 are now fully ball watching and have lost there men. @HarryMaguire93 still touch tight with his man.
With @paulpogba fully losing his man, and @LukeShaw23 ball watching and forgetting his man, he starts to push towards the ball. @HarryMaguire93 still in a good position tight with his man.
With @paulpogba nowhere to be seen @LukeShaw23 is fully engaging with pogba's man leaving his man free off his shoulder with no understanding where he is.
With no communication and @LukeShaw23 now coming from @HarryMaguire93 blind side, they both go for the ball.
This results in both of them missing it, @paulpogba stood around, @LukeShaw23 massively out of position and now inside @HarryMaguire93 with shaw's man 1 on 1 with @D_DeGea
With both @paulpogba and @LukeShaw23 still stood around out of position, @HarryMaguire93 makes a last ditch chance to stop it going in, to no avail.
So in conclusion, @HarryMaguire93 isn't the problem, it's the areas around him that either need to be worked on or replaced.
