This is a hell of a quote.When I look back at the likes of Rio and John Terry, I honestly don't believe they were any better than McGuire
I'll have whatever you've been smoking please, Expat.

Jordan Pickford is probably one or two bad performances away from the same sort of abuse.I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Maguire lately too.
Most of the time he's been absolutely immense for England when it matters. He's a big tournament player which says a lot about his mentality.
Brilliant at Leicester - but in my opinion he needs to get himself out of Man Utd. He's got a lot to offer a big club still.
I've read it all on here now I think. Genuinely staggering comment to make.Agree, I think his pass distribution was excellent especially to the wings. When I look back at the likes of Rio and John Terry, I honestly don't believe they were any better than McGuire. Agin, I just think our media loves to make one guy a pariah just so the have something negative to write or talk about.
I don't get the abuse/critics Pickford gets. He's by a clear distance our best Goalkeeper. Yes we've been blessed with some great keepers in the past, but currently, we don't have any great GK's. Pope and Ramsdale are pretty average tbh - they're both PL quality, but not International quality. Same can be said with Henderson and Johnstone.Jordan Pickford is probably one or two bad performances away from the same sort of abuse.

Ramsdale is better with the ball at his feet and passing.At least Ramsdale is confident playing the game of football. Pope is an anachronism.
Exactly, Ramsdale is ideally suited to how Southgate claims he wants to play. If Pope has to play at the World Cup against a decent side it will be the end of our tournament because his lack of ability with his feet will massively cost usAt least Ramsdale is confident playing the game of football. Pope is an anachronism.
The problem is, we don't. We have poor CB choices. Mings and Coady are not better than an on form Maguire. Maguire has been excellent for England had one bad game before this week. The problem Southgate has now is that Maguire's form and confidence is shattered by his Man Utd experience and I doubt it will return before the world cup.It's not his fault we have a manager in charge who doesn't know we have a great deal better CB's available.
My appraisal of Terry will always be coloured by the fact that he's a complete c*nt.I've read it all on here now I think. Genuinely staggering comment to make.

If Kane all of a sudden got dropped because he fell out with Conte, or because Spurs signed Benzema and Haaland we'd all be okay with him starting for England in the WC over Toney or Rashford wouldn't we.
That is undeniable. However claiming Harry Maguire had equal footballing ability to him is utterly staggering.My appraisal of Terry will always be coloured by the fact that he's a complete c*nt.
Possibly, but I'm more than happy to be unfair where that piece of schit is concerned.That is undeniable. However claiming Harry Maguire had equal footballing ability to him is utterly staggering.
If he's playing RB then he's unlikely to be a good CB where he made mistakes last season.We do have better CB's though.
And I'm not talking about Mings or Coady.
There's an English CB playing at Arsenal (albeit he's playing at RB at the moment, but he's played CB for them for a year and is currently part of a very good team).
There's an English CB over in Italy, contributing massively to the fact his team just won the Scudetto for the first time in 10 years or so.
The 5ft9 defender is arguably the best defender in the league on current form.Don't think comparing Kane being dropped and still going to the WC should be in the same conversation of Maguire being dropped.
One of these players is in the top 3 #9's in the world. The other can't get a game ahead of someone who is 5ft 9.
He’s also England’s second best penalty taker based on previous effortsHe needs to get himself out of that toxic club, Yanighted.
The medias portrayal as well as the comments on social media are nothing short of atrocious. The venom in some comments from "supporters"... you'd think he was a serial rapist.
Once he settles into a good PL team, he'll return to his best, but like every human being he is just going through a bad spell. I'd take him to Qatar no problem, as there is always the requirement for an attacking threat in those final moments of a tight game.
