southvillekiddy Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hörður put in a tremendous tackle last night when a Fulham player was about to shoot in a dangerous position. If it's a confidence thing with him then that alone must have given him a tremendous boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I am going to say something, that might get me into trouble now but here goes..... I think he is maybe too pretty to be a footballer and definitely too pretty to be a centre half. He needs to get a couple of scars and a couple of nose breaks to look the part.

italian dave Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 He had a good game last night Inthought. Couple of loose passes but he got away with them, but otherwise solid. Hopefully will have done his confidence some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it is a confidence thing, but he gave away the ball cheaply last night and a better team should, and would have punished us. I never like to bash one of our players - but as others in the squad have excelled and developed, Mags has regressed and that was evident last night. Will be very concerned if his name is in the Starting XI on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think you might be concerned then because I can't see either Baker or Pisano being fit enough to start and I don't think it would be right to drop Zak Vyner into the middle of a game like this.

alexukhc Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 He wasn’t great but wasn’t bad, he’s not our worst player but in his position or positions shall I say, we have better right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Magnusson is a strange one, often seems to do the hard things with ease but when faced with an seemingly simple choice often chooses the wrong one. I guess much of it is match practice and being on the same wavelength as team mates. Needs a run of games but won't shift Baker or Joe when fit.

Robin101 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 He seems to grow into games, not sure why. Made some disastrous passes/clearances straight to Fulham players soon after he came on last night, but then was mostly excellent. Likewise with Palace. I remember him giving it away a fair bit initially. If I was being very harsh, you could make an argument that other city players make him look good when they manage to get control of the game and ease pressure on him. What I actually think is that he's a good footballer and good defender that needs a run of games to shine. That said, I wouldn't be putting him in my team ahead of Bryan, Flint, Baker, or Wright. Not at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If indeed he has regressed I feel it's probably due to lack of gametime, it's a strange one with Mags, can't crack gametime with us but seems a regular choice in the internationals, sadly I honestly can't see him staying.

I love an emoji Anyway my take on the curse of modern society is different. I heard a bloke on the radio the other day comparing European footballers to English ones. His take was that for a good few years English players as kids were rarely if ever encouraged to “take a touch” and to “play the ball”. Made me think back to kids football and the majority of the hollering know it all parents on the touch line - “get rid of it” would so often be the call. Maybe that accounts for the impeccably coiffured’s style of play. Take a touch and try and play - even if you get caught in possession and **** it up - emoji time - Or alternatively just hoof it high and hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be very concerned if his name is in the Starting XI on Saturday. He's barely played regularly for the last 9 months. Unfair to be too judgemental. Centre halves and defenders in general need time to build relationships and understanding. You won't get that just from training. I feel we've got far stronger defenders, but wouldn't read too much into his last couple of appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
