Not really the same is it never a doubt that Shearer was a top centre forward.

 

It's not the same for the opposite reason you're saying.

 

Shearer didn't perform for England despite being seen as a top class player for his club.

 

Maguire has performed at a consistently excellent level for England despite being seen as a poor player for his club.

My mate supports Man Utd and hammers Maguire but says their defence literally are exposed time and time again and with the added pressure the likes of him are becoming gaffe prone, this same person says Ronaldo has tried to do many of his famous trademark tricks and fell over the ball a few times which is becoming laughable now. He says why can’t Maguire perform for them they way he does England.

Video isn't loading I'd rather have my centre half's trustworthy and reliable especially at international level, Maguire isn't that and deserves to lose his place based on his piss poor performances at club level.

No it isn't his gaffs were being high lighted in 2020 and Man United fans were complaining about him then.

Largely they were talking about him needing a partner, not being replaced. They finished 2nd? Most of their starting players had solid seasons at the worst.

He's been an absolute shambles for his club for 2 seasons now, we've made these mistakes in the past and it's cost us in major tournaments. Players should be picked on form its not like its been one or two mistakes from him he's consistently not been good enough.


Klose scored 3 goals all season leading up to the 2010 World Cup then scored 4 while he was there. Shearer went about 2 years without an England goal before winning the Golden Boot at Euro 96. He’s never once left England down and works well for Southgate so why shouldn’t he play?

 

It’s too simplistic to say ‘pick players on club form’ because you could end up with a squad of Michael Ricketts, Gavin McCanns, etc.

Loads of players are better for their countries than their clubs. The slower pace and more defensive team clearly suits Maguire, he's unlikely to get caught in a high line on the turn for England. I doubt Pogba's getting dropped from the France team any time soon because of his Man United situation.

Some fans had a problem with him coming into the starting 11 after missing a couple of group games. I understand that you pick players on form, but some players have stepped up massively at international level for a long period of time now and can't be dropped because a player has hit form in time for a call-up. 

 

He's a safe choice for England. Rarely gets booked, rarely if ever makes a mistake and he carries the ball so well in possession. 

 

I'd make a similar argument for John Stones to be selected. Both players are exactly what this England team need.

Is there an in form defender that should be taking Maguire’s place? Dan Burn? 

 

I must be missing all these wonderfully in-form centre backs we have in England.

Burn’s been very good but he’s been making the sort of mistake the last couple of games that people want Maguire out of the team for.
