it's the kind of mistake Maguire is prone to, done it many times for united. But there is no other choice for England, which is a worry. I didn't see it but he had some involvement in the second too apparantly.
Let's hope Southgate has realised the way forward is a more attacking mind set.
I don't have an agenda, I'd love for him to be brilliant so we could save money on a new CB.I didn't bother watching the England game so have no idea. But I think your agenda probably gets you a bit blinkered anyway.
'Maguire fans need to fess up' highlights enough.
How come Maguire fans blame everyone but Maguire.
That third goal wasn't Popes fault if you're a Pope fan.
It's about time those still backing him just fess up, he's not very good and has that mistake waiting in every game. Not sure how you can blame Dier at all.
I heard Shaw had an excellent game. Apparently played a ball out to Sterling that you'd only ever expect to see on FIFA.
players get death threats for being black.Shaws 27. Might be a bit much to expect him to remember something that happened 24 years ago as something he's seen. Though I'd suggest the bomb threats at Maguires house were worse.
Maguire spent 2 years being our best player and showing you he had exactly what it took to be a CB at the club and captained the club to second in the league. Finished in the Europa and Euros team of the season. But when you don't want to see it you won't.
Do you not think Southgate prefers Eric Dier instead of Kyle Walker, in the middle of the back three with Maguire on the left and Stone on the right?I think for England Shaw is almost nailed on to start now he is the best option for England at either left back or left wing back. You are kind of hoping bit like Maguire that at the world cup the version we saw at the euros turns up for a month and not the one we've seen in a Utd shirt ever since then.
There's not really a lot of competition for him with Chilwell looking like he's struggling to come back from his injuries, struggling to think of another left back who's even playing in the prem. There's Mitchell at Palace who I think could get a chance after the world cup.
At Utd it's a different story because of the form of Malacia he needs to fight to win his spot back. The scheduling means even if both are fit then Shaw will likely get at least 5 starts before the world cup.
It feels like the starting XI looks pretty set now for the world cup
Pickford
Walker Stone Maguire
James Bellingham Rice Shaw
Foden Kane Sterling

Is it just me or is anyone else a little lukewarm when thinking about the WC this time around?
Obviously being in November is a factor - the good thing about the WC is having a great time in the sun at the outside screenings or chilling in the garden before and after. It doesn’t quite have the same feel being cuddled up in blankets and thermals.
Also the fact it’s in Qatar doesn’t help with my indifference towards it.
I will still be watching obviously but there isn’t that sense of excitement.
It's a bit of both, but for me more the fact that it is in mid season when there is already other football on, and also it is in Qatar (dirty choice) which just does not have the 'festival of football' feel about it.Isn't the issue more it's not been long since the Euros? I don't think there'd have been a buzz for the world cup had it been the summer just gone.
Back to back tournaments just isn't right.
Plus the shocking treatment of the labour force used to make the thing happen. And the stench of money.It's a bit of both, but for me more the fact that it is in mid season when there is already other football on, and also it is in Qatar (dirty choice) which just does not have the 'festival of football' feel about it.
