Southgate won't drop Maguire even though he is older and even more slower now and prone to making mistakes. Branthwaite is superior to Maguire in everything but experience but he is a left footed centre back whereas Maguire is only right footed but always gets played on the left side. And I would fancy Branthwaite who is far better technically to defend better against the top Euro nations like France and Spain than Maguire who just isn't cut out for it. But like all England managers he will pick older players just to remain 'loyal' to them even though there are new better options. It's the same old story. He'll take Jordan Henderson too. If the public get on-side with Branthwaite and he didn't pick him then folk would say that he doesn't know what he is doing. Aren't we already saying that ? This England team has to win the Euros, the level of talent is unprecedented, in my opinion better than the golden generation.

The public? Ha! Like the England staff and FA ever listen to us. I remember there being an outcry when Sven Goran Erikson once took an injured Wayne Rooney, unfit Michael Owen and an unproven 17 year old Walcott to a World Cup leaving an inform Defoe at home. And guess what? We barely score and were such a let down. He also persisted with 4/4/2 when the player we had didn't suit it. His reign as England boss lasted far too long and his overly cautious backward tactics held back one of our best ever generations from achieving anything. Should have been sacked after Euro 2004.

We should have won something already, and would have if we didn't have a stubborn, negative, idiot in charge. I'm sure he will come out with a lame excuse for not selecting Branthwaite, but still find space for the likes of Maguire, Phillips and Henderson, as well as playing a system to stifle the likes of Foden, Saka and Maddison. He should have been sacked after choking the world cup semi final in 2018, or if not the Euros final in 2020. TOO NEGATIVE!

To come up short again against one of the top nations who we never bloody beat is unacceptable with the talent we have and it was only in the quarters. He'll probably play Bellingham as a defensive midfielder.

Really wish we had replaced Southgate after the WC. The players at he has at his disposal is ridiculous, but he's just not going to use them to there capabilities. What a classy CB pairing Jarrad and Stones would make, can pretty much guarantee it won't happen though.

The FA love Southgate because he's a nice little yes man who is a virtue signalling wokey who does what he's told. They'll never sack him.

Everton boss Sean Dyche says he has no wish to sell Cumbrian star Jarrad Branthwaite.
The ex-Carlisle United defender has been regularly linked with a big move after his impressive displays in the Premier League this season.
But manager Dyche says he is hoping to hold on to the 21-year-old Wigton star.
“We don’t want to sell any good players,” said the Everton boss.
“It’s as simple as that and he’s proven to be a very good player.
"We’re not in the business of trying to sell players.
“You only sell players if you have to sell players or there’s a problem. There’s no problem, therefore I’m just hoping we don’t need to sell players.
"At the minute, we certainly don’t so we will see.”
With another points reduction heading their way, and currently on an 11 game winless run, the Championship trap door beckons. Add to that dodgy new owners on the horizon and a new stadium to be paid for, I'm betting on him and Onana being sold in the summer.

Dyche can say what he wants hes not the one who needs to find the nearly 150 million that they need to finish the stadium. Which will then trigger their very own Yanks to buy the club which they wont do till the stadium funding issue is resolved and as there is no way the current regime can raise the required funds the player sales are really the only way that they can go.

He said he's worth £100m earlier in the season,think 40m would ne more realistic.

So long as there continues to be interest from Spain where the clubs dont have to find the money to be able to spend it his value wont drop below 80m

They have ridiculous FFP rules , it's spending has been falling for year and Barcelona wage cap has been cut by tenfold in the last few years . Only team with money is Madrid , who themselves are cutting it close with the mbappe move .

So why make a point on it's finances and ability to spend , when it's quite well known that Spanish football is in financial turmoil and doesn't have any money.
