And former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has told Maguire to take a leaf out of Chelsea defender Silva’s book on how not to get caught out in behind.  

“What I love about Thiago Silva is that you never see him get paced,” Agbonlahor said.  

“He reminds me a bit of John Terry, he was never the quickest but he was very clever. 

“If there was a chance you were running in behind, he was already gone. He would chose the right moments to get tight to you, the right moments to drop off and give himself a yard.
