'He’s looked like he needs a holiday for a very long time; it may even be that the World Cup finals would be a good opportunity for him to take a break. He can do that and still be in the squad.' twoht
Harry Maguire is a becoming a headache for Gareth Southgate, but will the England manager’s bloody-minded loyalty lead to a World Cup risk?. On the one hand, for three-quarters of their game against Germany, England were every inch as laboured as they’ve looked over the last six months. The evening ended with them having gone six games without a win.
Maguire’s role in the first Germany goal played out like a scene from The Fast Show. Under no pressure whatsoever he passed the ball straight to Jamal Musiala, a sloppy and needless pass which defied rational explanation. And then, as Musiala ran at him, he flicked out a leg, caught the winger, and conceded a penalty from which Germany took the lead.
Despite their sudden flurry of goals against Germany, England have been struggling to score goals from open play for months, and if there’s one position in which you don’t want to find yourself if your team is on this sort of bad run, it’s conceding completely unnecessary goals.
