I actually don't think Maguire's been bad at United and I still think he's a good player - but losing Maguire has allowed Leicester to play with a higher line because Evans and Sonyoncu isn't anywhere near as slow as a pairing as Evans and Maguire. With Ndidi to help out the defenders, they can keep a high line and they have 2 very good fullbacks to stretch the opposition - which really suits how Rodgers likes to operate. Also you have to consider that Maguire was playing behind a much better midfield at Leicester than he was at United (weird to type that one out and be totally serious about it - but it's true). So even though Maguire not being pacey isn't so much of an issue at United, where they defend deeper than Leicester do this season, he's under more pressure defensively because that midfield is putting the United defense under more pressure. I think he was overpriced, he's not worth a fee as high as his, but I understand why they signed him - he's a player that gives them leadership (ironically, Leicester still have a leader at the back in United's youth product Evans) and he'll be with them during his peak years. The defending for United last season was pretty dogshit, this season it's been noticeably better. My post about him holding Leicester's defense back was more in jest than serious - I think ultimately Leicester's defensive success comes down to Evans and Sonyoncu being a better partnership for the system that Rodgers likes to use, more than the quality of Maguire. It was an excellent bit of business for Leicester, getting as much money as they did while they had a replacement ready to go.

Maguire was holding Leicester's defense back:

I've never broken my arm(surprisingly), badly bruised and sprained, yes but never a break. I've only ever broken 2 fingers, a thumb, my foot and my nose. You know about it when you break your fingers, that's one thing I can tell you. The pain is unique as fuck. In fact, it's not even pain per say, but like a horrible vibration feeling going through your bone. I did actually fracture my foot as well once. I could feel like a crunching feeling when that happened. Honestly though, you never really know the extent of an injury without an x-ray mate. Google will only tell you that you have aids and cancer, so I'd avoid that.

Found this brilliant US Army training video from 1943 teaching their soldiers of how (not) to behave in a British pub

It will never happen mate look below as an example as to why this thread becomes a labour echo chamber despite them blatantly being behind in the country. Lovely sentiments there, a real welcoming discussion board, the result is the below Not saying deadlinesman is a Tory, but you guys have got what you deserve in this thread tbh. That a fucking tedious echo chamber. I stick around and give it back because I’m a bit of a cunt who likes to troll a bit but I can’t devote the time to seriously debate it all nor should I. most on the politics board will have been chased off from debate with this sort of nastiness in reality. Odd that it’s from the same types who usually are the ones whinging about politics of hate too. A shame for the forum really and politics as a whole.

Awww yeeeahh lets have Chelsea make some panic buys and stop giving the kids a chance
