Seeing “villains” who did barely anything wrong (but have shit form) earn fan favour again has to be one of my favourite things about football. I hope all fan bases can have xhaka like redemption arcs, was so fun see everyone change and be happy!
Yup, I hate it when players get abuse like that simply for being out of form. Maguire has never downed tools, never complained, always been professional and played when asked, just leave slabhead alone!
For me it was the combination of terrible form and him acting like he was playing great. I see no problem with fans criticizing a player when he’s not playing well, nor do a see a problem with those fans later singing that same player’s name when he’s turning it around.

The abuse was more than just boos though. Death threats towards him and his family and even a bomb threat at his house are more than just criticism
Dude, it’s football and it’s the internet. Everyone gets abused on the internet.
