Southgate Under Fire for Selecting Maguire
It’s actually a joke, Southgate acts like he hasn’t got other center backs. He’s clearly picking favorites. Ben White has been playing the highest level of football for over a year and he’s still not being considered for the squad.
Maguire has barely played in the last year and when he does he’s more likely to score on your own net than the other teams.

Southgate’s selection is not merit-based. Otherwise, the English team would look very different by now. Maguire, Philips, Henderson, Walker, and Pickford always seem to get a free pass while other players must perform to be included in the team.
Guardiola to Take Over from Gareth Southgate as England coach
Rashford scored 30 goals and 11 assists last season and warms the bench. It sends a wrong signal to the young players trying to make the squad. Switching allegiances might be the right path to consider for some yet-to-be-capped players.
Gareth Southgate is expending hard-earned credit on retaining Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire, but Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Ukraine raises further questions over whether that loyalty is misplaced.
England’s search for the requisite improvement to finally end a 58-year wait for a men’s trophy next summer has led to renewed scrutiny of Henderson and Maguire, who were fortunate to be included in the squad after the former moved to the Saudi Pro League and the latter was frozen out at Manchester United.

This shouldn’t be a question. The real question is: is Southgate the right manager? His decision-making is curious at best. This should be a golden age for English football. Southgate is throwing the opportunity away.
Why Southgate Dropped Sancho from Qatar 2022 England Squad
According to Southgate’s own comment when he got the England job, Maguire shouldn’t be in the squad, what happened to “you have to be playing regularly for your club”? Maguire has played 26 minutes so far this season, and that was only because of injury and illness as ETH doesn’t fancy him and is happy enough to let him go.
Same goes for any player tbh, how can you expect to get selected for your nation if you can’t get a game or barely feature? Yet there’s players like Rashford, 30 goals last season yet will sit on the bench.
Tomori had a great season last season as well yet couldn’t get a sniff at the England team while Maguire started…what message does it send to younger players as well – ones that are getting regular gametime at club level? “Doesn’t matter how good you are or how much you play, i’m gonna pick this guy regardless even though you’re the one keeping him on the bench at your club” (as an example).

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
