After Harry Maguire was ridiculed by the Scotland crowd and a livid Gareth Southgate lashed out at the defenders treatment, we look at the issues arising from Maguires ongoing selection...
After being named permanent England manager in 2017, Southgate said he would 'never pick on reputation, form has to come into it'. However, in his answer to my question back in March, he rowed back on those comments when asked about the continued inclusion of some players who were not playing for their clubs.
The boos have been heard at club level too. The then Man Utd captain was booed ahead of kick-off and throughout his side's pre-season win over Crystal Palace in Melbourne in July. He suffered the same fate in Dublin for Man Utd's friendly against Athletic Bilbao. When you think of England under Southgate, one of the first players that springs to mind is Maguire. All 59 of the defender's international caps have come under Southgate, whose loyalty to him has been unstinting.
