Port Said Red Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I was one of those who was beginning to wonder whether the lad would learn what was required in this league, but since the last time he cost us a goal , he seems to have come back stronger and stronger. I thought that was one of his best performances today, strong in the air and on the ground and confident in his own ability. I realise that Wednesday were poor but I think that the most telling thing was that Flint looked comfortable with him there, which I can't say has been the case in the past. Yes, you could say he has a mistake in him, but you could say that about John Stones and how much did he cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 He did ok today without too much pressure from Wednesday. Tuesday will be tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Not the strongest centre back, but having been to Italian defending school, Hörður actually reads attacks really well, and will often come in with a decisive intervention. Tuesday will be more of a challenge but without Hugill up front, can't imagine it will be as physical as taking on Nihiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggersno1Fan Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Maggers is top draw & probably helps a lot that the person in front of him doesn’t go off Galavanting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Just needs to avoid the tendency to be a bit casual at times, but he is still young and getting better all the time. I really like the lad, especially his long throws. I did notice before his first long throw, he was not coming forward to take it until the Icelandic chant started. Fan power?

wendyredredrobin Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I can certainly remember one very recent game where 2 Hordour throws resulted in 2 goals. Can't remember which game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I realise why people worry about Maggy , he is all left foot. Any opposition will be able to play on that . He is a good player but I would be working on his right foot because he is a little predictable. He loses valuable seconds as he takes the ball on to his left and we know where he's going with it .

City fan 1982 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I like maggy. Seems a little to calm under pressure ! Started to win more in the air , reads the game well , has the odd error in him , and doesn’t seem to be the strongest physically. I thought he took free kicks for Iceland ?

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Solid game today. Very difficult against Nihui and Joao and they didn’t win many headers against him. He kept the ball well and has learned the key fact of if in doubt get that round fu**er out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayOutWest Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 He looks classy on the ball. Never rushed and rarely gives it away. His passing is always very accurate. You can see him improving every game. Really liked him in the middle today. Competition for places starting to develop all over the pitch.

REDOXO Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 He has at least two **** ups per game in him! However that doesn’t mean he won’t get better and I like the weapon he has. Cue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 LJ singled out praise for him today. I think good management as Mags strikes me as a confidence player who’ll take it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jimmer Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 There is no wonder he is rated after today's performance. In Maggers you have a centre half who can actually bring the ball out of defence, pick out decent passes etc. Baker and certainly not Flint are really capable of that. It was a significant contribution to our overall play today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's struck me most recently is the improvement of his passing, been playing brilliant some brilliant long balls recently. Do agree RE Magnússon though. Glad to see him getting some proper praise on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Better as a CB than a LB for me. Would't be in my ideal 11 but a good capable back up option for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeeebles Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 He did ok today, words like superb are way over the top for me but I can understand Lj saying that to build his confidence. He made a couple of really poor passes 2nd half, one left Flint glaring at him I what looked like disbelief to me. I still think he's short of confidence but he's improving. For me he's still behind Flint, Baker and Wright in the centre back role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to eliminate it from his game...he’s done it too much eg Cardiff home and away and Man City at home to name but three.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
