Lads he’s not actually that good and I’ve known it all along. You see, I’m one step ahead of the game and it was clear by some of his performances that he can’t cut it at international level. His positioning just isn’t good enough, and I’m sorry/ecstatic that I am the first to report it here.

I dunno. I just saw something about his game and thought I can definitely make an argument that he’s bang average, and I just couldn’t ignore it. Soz abar me lmao, I don’t beat round the bush. Say it as it is. A spade is a spade etc etc etc
 
He was ropey in his first 4 or 5 games for us until he settled in, I would imagine he'll need just as many games for England, possibly more because it's the ultimate stage to settle in properly and show what he's capable of, it's a shame he's missed the cut but it's not surprising given his 2 performances, he's only at the start of his career so plenty more tournaments to get a look in

The only problem with England is that you don't get that many chances to settle in. He was ropey in this game, but wasn't helped by having Sancho ignoring his overlaps on a few occassions. Mind you, Sancho also seemed determined not to cross to DCL. Perhaps I am being too sensitive, but it does seem to be an issue for Everton players breaking into the England set-up.
 


Glad he hasn’t been called up. Ideally, I’d prefer none of our players going on international duty; even more so to play for Engerrrrrland, getting grief off all the flag nonces for not singing the national anthem.
 
I don't get why people think Maguire is bad

I don't think he's bad.

He's just not fit.

It's to a lesser extent than Henderson, because Henderson hasn't played since the derby at the end of Feb, whereas Maguire was playing right up until mid May.

But, it's still a serious injury and really, I don't think he should be going.

You're going to take the automatic pick if he's got a chance of playing I guess. Goes for both of them really.

Shouldn't take unfit/injured players to tournaments, imo.

But do agree that in England's case, Henderson and Maguire are both starters if fit - but they aren't fit.
