The Defender Who FORGOT How To Defend: Harry Maguire 

Name a bigger footballing meme legend, I’ll wait 🤨 But in all seriousness, hope the man can get his career back on track! We all love you for the memes Harry 🫡 Leave a like if you enjoyed! And let me know what you want to see next 😉

"If i have to make a tackle it means i have already made a mistake"-Maldini My man Maguire took that seriously and never makes a tackle ❤

"I learnt from my mistakes, so i decided to make more mistakes to learn more" ~ Harry Maguire

“To become one of the best you must score in both goals” -Harry Maguire

"Of all the Harrys I've seen, this one's a real wizard." - Hagrid

Reporter: Who was the hardest opponent you ever faced? De Gea: Definately Harry Maguire

"Don't judge a goal by it's side" - Harry Maguire

Maguire is a prime example that shows how closely linked mentality and performance are. He should definitely see someone, a professional, so they can tech him some exercises he can do to keep his mind focused and regain some confidence. Mindfulness, DBT, and other exercises could really help him. I watched a number of memes and found it funny but could never get my head around him having had such a high transfer fee. Now, I feel bad for him thanks to this video. I really hope he recovers. It would help if a group of United or UK fans gave him some support but I doubt that'll happen

here in brazil we have a similar case with a goalkeeper called "muralha". he was a good goalkeeper and defended one of the biggest clubs in the country, Flamengo, but he started to fail and ended up becoming a meme. when he went to the field, you could see the pressure he felt with the whole crowd cursing him. later he was released from the club and never managed to establish himself in his career again.

I feel like he crumbled under pressure after a string of poor performances. I’m sure Man U fans, the media, and his reputation on social media must’ve played a factor in his inability to recover mentally. It’s disappointing but that’s just the typical pressures of playing football

As an Arsenal fan, I kinda feel sad for him. Being the most expensive defender, and becoming a captain at such a young age in one of the most vital and stressful positions, even suffering an injury. But as an Arsenal fan, I hope he keeps it up!

Only Man to compete with Maguire for Memes is Joe Biden 😂

“Why score one side when you can score both” -Harry Maguire

We should thank him. He singlehandely provides like 50% of the football content for years now similiar to Messi and CR7. GOATs doing GOAT things🙏😂

He didn't forget defense, he forgot football

Maguire actually did okay at the World Cup. England was doing well until it had to play France in a QF that could have gone either way.

You can’t deny Harry was once a great defensive and offensive player but it’s arguable that all that changed once he got to Man U. Harry will be most remembered as the 12 man for all the teams playing against Man U, also David De Geas arch nemesis in the back.

Maguire scoring against Albania in a friendly and shushing the crowd will forever be one of the great footballing moments

Can we appreaciate maguire for giving us huge confidence boost if he can be a prem league captain then we all can

"A goal is a goal, doesn't matter which side its scored on " - Lord Harry Maguire.

When you lack the confidence, this kinda shit happens. He’ll be alright with the different team. But not playing somewhat well after the transfer is perplexing.

Bro that spurs clip will always have me in tears he really brought Shaw down like why why would you do that

Everyone can make fun of him. The pressure is part of the game. But the mental turmoil he must be going through must be insane. The only way a professional athlete can come out of it is by having faith in one self and focusing on one play at a time. Come back to the top bro. You got this.

Poor guy, i remember in 19/20 season he was actually somewhat solid under solskjaer. It all went downhill after that.

I think it shows how mental stuff, pressure, off the field things can completely change a player. You only have to look at Dele Ali for that, clearly from his recent interview he has had to go through a lot and that has cost him his performances. Maguire is suffering from the pressure, the memes, the attacks, the price tag and a complete lack of confidence. People forgot players are people too and I think social media has to be the single worst thing for modern players these days, sure being rich and playing football for a living is great and a dream for millions, but having thousands of people slag you off, criticise every little mistake, replay your errors over and over must take its toll on many of these players.

Maguire is a true inspiration, showing anyone how with enough media coverage you could be a footballer too.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Greece incident. He was at the absolute peak of popularity, likeableness and reputation when that happened as he was a hero for both club and country. EVER SINCE that bursted out on the media and he became the absolute focus of attention everything was flippe for him. All the English media which was praising him suddenly flipped opinion and made him look awful, which then amounted more and more pressure to keep performing but it backfired horribly. IHe's never been able to recover from that event as he went from having all eyes on him for something positive to complete opposite. As a defender, it is hard to provide a show worthy of redemption... after all, a defender that does their job well is often invisible to the audience (good marking, rare clearences, etc) unlike a striker or winger. He is far too old now to return to his days of glory, and his memes are far too good as well to be forgotten. All of these blunders started when his ego got the best of him while being drunk in Greece. Let that sink in. Off-the-pitch behavior is incredibly important, especially when you're the focus of attention of a whole country. The tide can turn fast.

3:23 man he use to be so happy and now in almost every video and photo he seems so sad man I would genuinely be happy if he can recover from this and start playing well

9:36 you haven't been on facebook have you? "cough, cough, Bendtner , cough"

The thing is he has skill, he got to where he did not by pure luck but by some modicum of ability, Leicester was his absolute peak and he might want to get back into a team of that level to make a comeback. Ability is there but I think he just cant handle pressure and goes into overdrive in the mental aspect of the game.

I think Maguire should go back to Leicester. If he regains his confidence and helps Leicester avoid relegation then he would definitely recover from these past years

Then he became englands best player in half their world cup matches

best way i can describe him, it's like watching a rugby player playing football

“LAISTER CITY” LOOOOOL 💀🤣💀🤣💀

4:44 mispronunciation of Leicester city 🤣 too funny Raymar; love it ❤️

Hey what music do you use your videos its really good ! And great vídeo by the way(as usual) !

This video's an absolute joke... The lad doesn't get enough recognition for the amount of times he's scored against de gea.

4:37 "He went from 2.5M all the way to 12M, almost a *10x* price increase" Harry MathGuire over here

I remember him being a solid defender at Leicester. I think maybe the sudden rise to captain of the biggest club in the world and being called the ‘the worlds most expensive defender’ might have have stressed him out to the point of not performing. After that, the lack of confidence just maintained that form.

This is purely psychological, fans are thrashing him so much it has gotten under his skin. He is now pressured to do well but the more he tries the more he messes up. It will take a lot to for him to get out of this.

i feel for him, looks like he went from playing football to thinking too much about how he looks to the big audience, which just becomes a selfulfilling prophecy at that point... you can see his brain racing when the ball approaches him, thinking too hard about whats the right move instead of playing instinctively

And the crazy part is, he´s only 29, for a center back he should be reaching his peak by now.

watching him play is like watching in slow motion, slow, heavy and clumbsy.

He didn't forget. He never had a clue to start.

Reminds me of what happened to Ranocchia, the pressure and the armband got to him and he went from a solid promising CB to a mistake prone one. They so were both in some of the worst squads in their respective club's history

" My face is my beauty , Own goal is my courage " - Harry Maguire

I remember him being actually kinda good 20/21 season what a career downfall

He was under pressure from a few inevitable losses. Still my favourite player- first as a joke, but now i like hime for his performance in the earlier world cup this year

There was a young man called Maguire Whose footballing skills were quite dire Eighty million they paid He’s worth nowt I’m afraid And good luck finding a buyer!

He was still slow but he knew how to defend in his initial years with United. I think Solskjær really overused him to the point where it would destroy his form almost permanently, and now, his weakness which is being slow is showing up even more with his terrible decisions as a defender. Prob doesn't really help too much too that he's now with United and it's not one of those weaker teams who lowers their defensive lines.

Harry has people ridicule him relentlessly because his mistakes are so hilarious you could watch them over and over. Slide tackling your own teammate, pulling Luke Shaw down in the box for no reason whatsoever, kicking Pogba in the head, playing around with the ball at the back just to give it away in a comically clumsy fashion. Like you said… he’s just prime meme material lol

I am an brazilian and I didn't knew that Harry was such that good player before.... I really hope he can back to the good form

No one can play for 2 teams at a time...he must be a legend🤔🧐🔥🔥

I hope Ten Hag keeps him on the bench until he can recover from all the negetivity. Never been a fan of his, but not many people can handle that sort of hate.

Reminds me alot of the goalkeeper from Liverpool that lost that finale against real Madrid and went downhill from there.

Man did u see him in qatar worldcup ? He was like a totally diffrient player ! I went into super saiyan mode 🤣🔥

Playing for both sides at the same time is nothing short of legendary!

It’s a pure testament to the fall of Maguire and the headlines he’s made that you have a Yank make a video about him talking about ‘Lyster,defensive plays,solid’ and stats followed by more stats 🤣👏👏👏

"Absolute fridge I mean tank" 😂😂😂😂my ribs .....,well anyways what happened to him is still a mystery because his defending these days amazes me ..even I can defend better...it's shocking

Probably the best defender I've seen in a Hull shirt and at such a young age. Hope he finds his form again but he's completely shot of confidence. Think Ten Hag was right to remove him from the firing line but a change of scenery would do him the world of good.

"This video were using deep fake. It has to be!" -Harry Maguire

I feel sad too for him. Because as professional footballer i also been to same phase. Very good then downhill and low confidence and the loop didnt break easily. I am still working on it. So i hope he make it in the end.

Reminds me of the Australian golfer Ian Baker Finch. He was very competetive in world golf, won some majors and then, overnight, it was as if he had completely forgotten how to play. He couldn' t explain it, no one could. They called it ''the yips''. Maguire sometimes looks confused, maybe he has an undiagnosed condition or he has collapsed under pressure.

I’m sure a different position, a different team, and some exercise can put this man on a positive track

One of the things about him i remember was that Rangnick said "finally no more Maguire" when he took the Austria Manager spot.

I actually feel a bit bad for him. Imagine living your life knowing you're one of the most hated and memed footballers of all time

Harry when he plays for his country is a diff breed

Might i ask what's the name of the sound you use? It's perfectly intense

I am honest, his Penalty against Italy in the Euro Final 2020 alone convinces me that he is better then his past years Performance showed. Like that thing was a Banger.

Harry Maguire was amazing in the world cup with England maybe he can make a come back

9:56 the man without a head

we all can conclude that maguire is a certfied legend as raymar football only do short documentaries about football legends

Being 80,000,000, it's not something he can ignore, he knows that's a lot, he also knows the rise in expectations at utd compared to Leicester, personally I just think all of that pressure has got to him and there's just no way he can go back, it's 100% mental imo

Awesome that you showed his solid play back then.

Why play for one team when you can play for two - Harry Maguire

"DEFENSIVE SPECIMEN HIMSELF" 😭😭😭😭💀

It's always sad seeing people going through this . I hope he can move to another team with far less attention so that he can go back to play without all that hate towards him.

Strangely this reminds me of the whole Sebastian Vettel situation at Ferrari when he was making alot of mistakes. And people where wondering how he seemingly forgot how to drive well.

Maguire showed some class in the World Cup! Hope he keeps the form for the next year.

I usually like your videos. But this one is now one of my favorites. You kept it objective and I appreciate it. Good insights into his career.

I was shook by seeing clips of him in hull city, those were really good and clean tackles, clearances and covers. Ive seen him play in leicester too, he was genuinely good back then. But i cant say that he's even remotely as good as he was back then, hope he can come back stronger tho.

09:56, Fiyako Timori, Are you serious? Great compilation anyway

i used to love him in 2016 but now....i am really disappointed by his performance. I really used to love him keeping in my team in fifa and dls

Hey Raymar, just want to say you've inspired me to post sporting content and hope to do short doc videos on boxers/fighters. Thank you for the wuality content and motivation

It's crazy. Hes got soo much potential. Hes tall strong. Hes great on the ball. Hes can use either foot. I just dont know what's gotten into him. There are so many things it could be it's hard to find the string that broke his back ya know? It's all between the ears. Hes having a confidence issue. But idk how to fix it at united. He needs a move. Not a loan

Maguire couldnt deal with the pressure and now its confidence is broken

You can also add an asist for Italy that turned a dominant England display into a farce....

When you don’t believe you can play football anymore that’s exactly what happens...the media has shattered his confidence completely and getting that back is virtually impossible

Don't judge a goal by its side - Harry Maguire

Performance anxiety got the best of this guy....hope he will be back someday at some other club

I feel sorry for you Harry. I pray and hope that you get over your tough time and make a comeback.

I feel his biggest problem is he is trying too hard to impress. Just do the basics and defend. You are not a mid fielder or a striker so why are you trying to do everything all at once. He was actually having a good half against Germany and suddenly decides to try dribbling in the penalty box hence losing the ball and again leaves his positioning and went half way through the pitch before losing possession costing England another goal. Why would you try to do something that's beyond your ability? Well it can work when you are just new to the scene but teams have already figured you out and know what your core weakness is. Doing the same mistake over and over again is insanity.

bro plays like he disconnected his controller

It’s so interesting how we all joke about it & then continue with our lives. Since we “don’t really mean it with malice,” we never consider how much damage we do to the person being bullied.

7:22 after all this time i still have this photo in my galery🤣

If only he got decent self consciousness, willingness to improve, and attitude, he definitely won't be memed this much

Roberto Carlos was one of the best defenders ever in my opinion, setting up goal scoring plays, creating havoc on the flanks and taking exceptional set pieces. He was in the shadow of the first Ronaldo. Wow what a player

Everyone: Leicester Raymar: Lighster

Commenting right after he won Premier League potm

The Defender Who FORGOT How To Defend. What happened? Ans: He simply became an attacker ;)
