[Football] Should Maguire be in the England Squad

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

There are no easy matches at this level of competition

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Well exactly. People bigging him up for 'playing better recently' are missing the facts that prior to that he wasn't playing at all & that his current (not utter shit) form would have him nowhere near the squad under another manager

Bit like Sunk hasn't been too much of an arse recently, so let's give him another 5 years.

 

[WATFORD zero]

FFS

 

[Sheebo]

No for me. But does always seem to play well or ok for England. We are short there though. Dunk and Stones for me.

Accept when you’re using it as an excuse for Englands great runs in recent tournos of course.

It's almost as f***ing obvious as ...... ...... ...... something f***ing obvious

Despite this…

"We need to see other players ahead of the EUROs." Gareth Southgate on the opportunity our March fixtures brings for the squad.

Slabhead would get picked for Southgate’s England team, even if he lost a leg.

 

[keaton]

He always seems to do okay for England.

Given complete backing by the manager, playing every game whatever happens your form should be ok

He has two?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Brilliant player ..can see him managing the England side soon, would guarantee himself a starting place for life

 

[GloryDays]

Dunk didn’t have a great cameo though. If he plays v Belgium he can’t afford any mistakes. Maguire is nailed on for the euros.

This being reported quite widely (originally Henry Winter in Times), that Maguire wants Southgate to stay until WC 2026.

Maguire wants Southgate to stay as England boss after Man Utd link

Harry Maguire has backed Gareth Southgate to stay on as England manager after Euro 2024 following recent reports linking him to Manchester United.

That's hardly surprising when any other manager would've dropped a few times for errors and loss of form.

Why want to change a manager who always picks you inspite of form?

who's in great form at Man Utd at the moment?

 

[Randy McNob]

Club form counts for nothing, international class is key. Shearer hadn't scored for England for more than 20 games leading up to Euro 96, but he was an acomplished forward and natural finisher. At the same time Andy Cole was scoring for fun, but he was a one trick pony - at international level he was cruelly found out.

Paolo Rossi was banned before the 82 world cup, no form to speak of, but the top players come to the fore at the highest level. Maguire was awesome in 2000 and should be a sho-in for 2024

the BBC gave him 5.3 and Dunk 3.9....?? i mean ffs.

BBC ratings are just down to the fanbases prepared to comment.

Dunk's rating will be mainly based on the Palace fan's determined to undermine his inclusion.

Dunk was very poor when he came on.

I think he played shite on purpose so he doesn't have to join up with these arrogant tossers for a month in June and July, he'd rather spend it with his family after a long season.

Dunk's error led to Brazil's goal, and he didn't do anything else of note - of course he was going to be low rated.

I like your thinking

That is the issue. You are under the highest scrutiny and it was a very poor header. The BBC called out too many mistakes at the back particularly Maguire..Dunk and Chilwell. The early loss of Walker didn't help but our captain has made more errors this season than most of us feel comfortable with. He hasn't been the only one but he normally sets pretty high standards and I'm sure he will raise his levels again.
