Vesper 31,181 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Robbie Fowler accuses £36m Liverpool star of having a ‘defeatist attitude’ in FA Cup defeat to Man City https://metro.co.uk/2026/04/04/robbie-fowler-accuses-36m-liverpool-star-a-defeatist-attitude-fa-cup-defeat-man-city-27852840/ Robbie Fowler has accused Ibrahima Konate of having a ‘defeatist attitude’ during Liverpool’s 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday. Arne Slot’s side crashed out of the FA Cup as Erling Haaland’s hat-trick, plus a neat finish from Antoine Semenyo, sealed City’s place in the semi-final at Wembley. During his analysis for City’s fourth goal which saw Haaland complete his 28th career hat-trick, Fowler was unhappy with Konate’s passive defending against Jeremy Doku in the build-up. ‘You know you have tough times, I mentioned before about leaders, just look at the reaction from Konate, that’s like a defeatist attitude, someone who sort of gives in,’ Fowler told TNT Sports. ‘Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great finish, the movement is great, it’s a good goal by City, but I actually want a bit more from my team defensively, I think Konate just gives in. ‘I’ve seen it on more than one occasion this year with him where the ball goes past him and he’s quick to sort of give in.’ Mohamed Salah also had a game to forget for Liverpool as he missed an excellent chance in the first half before he saw his penalty saved by James Trafford after the break. Asked if he was confident about Salah taking the penalty, Fowler replied: ‘I’ve got to be honest, no. ‘I think that was not only because of his performance but because of the chances he missed. ‘He has got the quality to change games but today he just wasn’t at it from the off. ‘He put the ball down and for my sins I actually thought he was going to miss that. I hate myself for thinking that.’ Asked if he would start Salah against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday, Fowler said: ‘I think so. ‘I mean, what are the other options you’ve got, who comes in? ‘That’s the problem that you have for Liverpool. You want a little bit of experience, you want someone who has been on that stage because it’s a massive game. ‘Of course you’ll have players who will want to come in and do a good job, but Mo Salah is Mo Salah, he can, as much as he’s not had the best game today, he’s not had the greatest season, but he can be a difference so I think you’ve got to start him because I don’t think anyone can come in ahead of him.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,181 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Harry Maguire signs new Man United contract until next summer Club have option to extend defender’s new deal by further year until 2028, with 33-year-old understood to have taken a pay cut to stay at Old Trafford https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/harry-maguire-new-contract-deal-manchester-united-jbx8b0r2p Harry Maguire has been rewarded for his good form with a new contract that will keep him at Manchester United until at least the end of next season. Maguire’s contract was due to expire at the end of this season but on Tuesday morning, United announced that their former captain had signed a one-year contract that the club can extend by a further year if they wish. The precise details regarding Maguire’s wage are not known, but The Times understands that he has taken a pay cut to stay at the club because his market value is not the same as it was in 2019 when he signed a £190,000-a-week deal upon joining the club from Leicester City. The £80million that United paid for the centre half remains the world-record fee for a defender. That Maguire has been given a contract at the age of 33 confirms, however, that he is an important part of the squad and shows how well he has been playing this season. The defender has started every match under head coach Michael Carrick and his performances earned him a recall to the England squad last month. Maguire is hoping to persuade Thomas Tuchel to include him in the final England squad for the World Cup when it is announced next month. “Representing Manchester United is the ultimate honour. It is a responsibility that makes myself and my family proud every single day,” Maguire said. “I am delighted to extend my journey at this incredible club to at least eight seasons and continue to play in front of our special supporters to create more amazing moments together. “You can feel the ambition and potential of this exciting squad. The determination throughout the whole club to fight for major trophies is clear for everyone to see and I am confident that our best moments together remain ahead of us.” Maguire’s career at United has had plenty of ups and downs. Six months after being signed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Maguire replaced Ashley Young as captain. In 2023, Solskjaer’s successor Erik ten Hag, stripped Maguire of the captaincy and tried to force him out of the club, but the player rejected an offer from West Ham United because he thought he could win back his place in the United team and he proved his critics wrong. “Harry represents the mentality and resilience required to perform for Manchester United,” Jason Wilcox, United’s director of football, said. “He is the ultimate professional who brings invaluable experience and leadership to our young, ambitious squad. Harry, like everyone at the club, is completely determined to help Manchester United to achieve regular and sustained success.” Maguire has played 266 times for United and scored 17 goals. During his seven seasons at United, he has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Maguire will miss United’s next match against Leeds United because he was sent off in the draw against Bournemouth that preceded the international break. That could leave Carrick with a problem at the back as Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt have been out with calf and back injuries of late. Martínez, however, has travelled to Dublin this week for the club’s four-day training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
