It’s great that Luton seemed to hit rock bottom and then go all the way to the top but with the greatest respect they are going to get absolutely mullered this season.
Like Derby points and Swindon goals conceded bad…

Our record will never be beaten, those extra 4 games will always make the difference. Goals conceded per game perhaps but we will hold the 100 record well beyond any of our demises.

I am probably going to be in the minority here...
(I may have missed this subject, sorry if so)
Maguire is in the England squad. I really don't think it's right to go with a completely new CB partnership in a competitive game, Stones is injured, we cant be starting with 2 CB's who have no international experience so I think SlabHead is vital as an accomplished international performer as someone to intergrate the new generation into the squad.
I can see everyone moaning if we went with Marc Guehi and Colwill straight away if it didn't work out. Maybe the future but not now.

I will sort of agree with that one. Kalvin Phillips however  |

I'm surprised Man City didn't offload Phillips and buy Declan Rice before he signed for Arsenal.

Football has changed massively. As have tactics. Most teams play differently.
Back in the day everyone played 442 with basic positional roles.
If you played CB at Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle or Aston Villa you played the same position, same role - just a different team. You could slot any two CBs together and they knew their roles, it didn’t change from their club roles and they could play together
Now England played differently to Man City who play differently to Arsenal who play differently to Palace etc. So you could play CB at Man City and be great but still not first choice for England because they set up their defence differently.
To make a long story short (too late) it’s a lot more selecting players to fit systems rather than just picking the best players. Maguire fits Englands system and has never let England down - so can full get why he’s been selected.
Definitely time he moved on from Manchester United though…

He absolutely needs to move clubs, there will soon be a time when he just can't be in the England set up without regular minutes. Once this new raft of CB's are properly intergrated the argument against his incusion is quite rightly much stronger than it is now. Cannot for the life of me understand why he didn't go to West Ham, even on a loan deal, when the offer was on the table.

The DNA thinks so. Mind you he wanted Wenger out, then had a flirt with Arteta out, so.. |

If Southgate was to go, there just seems to be no realistic options out there to replace him.
