Maguire called for the ball is why he’s getting blamed, but how many times a game does a player demand the ball and not receive it ?

It’s on De Gea for me as a ex keeper myself , he’s got the whole pitch in front of him and surely could see the 3 white shirts around Maguire ?

I just think that a top player (yes, Maguire), should still be aware of those players, take the ball on his left foot and be into the space in midfield where he can pass it on.

De Gea's not great with his feet, everyone knows that, so he's playing the way the manager wants and doing his best at it. Clearly they are trying to keep hold of the ball and break the press, but their skillsets aren't the best for it. His pass found it's target - it was the decision Maguire made that made the result what it was.

It's all on Ten Hag for me. He's been at the club long enough to know the players limitations. When we were embedding Pep's playing style he accepted that these mistakes would happen and they were on him. If Ten Hag is desperate to play that way then their mistakes are his responsibility.

De Gea switched his brain off for that third goal. Why couldn’t he have just thrown himself into it and gathered it in his noodle arms? Can any goalies on here explain?

The third one? Think he was about 10 yards outside the area, not exactly sure why though.
 
JJ at the Gruniad prattling on about a big rag clear out in the summer, yeah like other clubs are going to be queuing around the block to take on overpaid duds. And of course why should the same overpaid duds walk away from lucrative contracts? Good luck with that one.
 
I, for one, am enjoying the absolute state of what was once known as "Jadon Sancho's career".

Coulda played under Pep, been part of something legendary, potentially been moulded into an absolute top class player like Phil. Just had to have a bit of patience.

But no. Thought he was better than the club. Thought he knew more than the best manager in the game at the age of 17, and was so full of himself he started skipping training to prove a point. Then tried to rub salt in by joining our biggest rivals.

Well, look where you are now, matey. Being subbed at half time against a lower-table La Liga side.

He'll be playing for Crystal Palace in a year or two.
