I think it is easy for Carragher to squeak that he is implying Maguire is better than Kane, whereas he is actually saying the drop off from Kane to say Rashford is less than the drop off from Maguire to say Dier, which given Dier does not currently play every week for Spurs is valid. IMO it just highlights how poor we are at centre half when Maguire and Stones are essential. Maguire at the highest level will struggle.

We have a few "decent" centre backs, but after Stones and Maguire.....we are struggling really. Kane is ace, but as you say we have loads of attackers that can & do score loads of goals.

gonzo Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 McGuire is a superb defender and has been one of the most consistent performers in the prem this season. Captain and near enough ever present at the team currently second in the league plus a World Cup Semi finalist and premier league winner. Other high profile defenders make mistakes like he did earlier in the season and don’t get half the coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The fact he played 3 CBs for so long shows he doesn’t really trust Maguire and Stones as a partnership I love stones but he’s just a car crash. Maguire is decent but limited. the inclusion of Rice in front now allows him the play the 2 more. But wouldn’t be surprised if he went to 3 in the bigger games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted April 7, 2021 Members Share Posted April 7, 2021 If you play 4 at the back, you want a ball playing centre back and an aggressive no nonsense centre back Maguire is a scapegoat because of his price tag, he’s a great defender, stones and Maguire will start at the euros together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted April 7, 2021 Members Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) FWIW If we didn’t have Kane I’d still back Rashford, Ings, DCL, or even Bamford to bag goals in this England set up, but Kane offers so much more than goals, and that’s why he’s so integral Edited April 7, 2021 by Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a striker in world football I'd see as being an improvement on him at the moment. I can think of at least 30 centre halves who would be a step up from Maguire mind. I don't dislike him but he's not world class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deane koontz Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Maguire is better on the ball and being a defensive outlet than he is at actually defending. Don't know why he's painted as some no nonsense type. He and stones are prone to massive dopey moments. Just those two starting together at the euros will be asking for trouble. That being said we're not exactly flooded with options in that position 🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprises me that. I don't watch much Prem stuff these days but for England he's often appeared to lack composure on the ball when under pressure. I've always thought of him as a stopper. No finesse but decent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't fault him in that area. He always seem comfortable in possession carries the ball well and is a decent passer. His positioning and general laxness at times is a bit poo though..
