"This is premium Maguire," typed a third.

However, many fans jumped to the defence of the 30-year-old, pointing out that Maguire had tracked his marker before the goal.

One fan replied: "How is that his fault?"

A second asked: "There is so much wrong with this… Kyle Walker can defend, can he? … well he didn’t here, Maguire? But that massive gap in the middle, who’s covering that?"

Another commented: "Is he the only player on the pitch? You people will scapegoat him at the club, and now scapegoat him on NT duties too."
