Harry gotta have his one reminder per game that he can’t defend. I do love him mind you.

He really can defend. I don't know quite who you have been watching for a year or so. He makes errors like nearly every other defender.

Shinji's on and already doing Shinji things. Played a big part in their equaliser without touching the ball

Of course you’re making the assumption that Maguire was wrong there, not that the rest of the team had already decided the game was over.
Stones didn’t track his man at all for that goal.
But yes. Maguire was playing them all onside.

I will cry when Shinji leaves. I ****ing love him.

I'd have given him an assist for getting in the way of the Senegal keeper (and one for Maguire for the wrestling match before Lord Harry's first pen).

I thought the Senegal keeper fouled him before the ball got to Honda.

I’m assuming Maguire has one assist at the World Cup already? He definitely assisted Kane for the second in the Tunisia match but I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere

He was indeed credited with an assist.

Maguire has looked exactly like what he is at this world cup. Great with the ball at his feet and capable of starting quick moves, but with higher risk comes he potential to lose the ball out of position.
Our left is stifled by Young having to come in field so Maguire can't play any triangles and knock him in behind the full back which he was doing for Bertrand in the friendlies with success. He's limited to balls inside now or going himself
The three at the back need to tighten up defensively but will only really be tested when up against a team with lots of possession. Against Brazil and Germany before wc we showed we can shut out high quality sides with a 3 at the back inc Maguire so they should have confidence from that.
Vardy is only there in case Kane is injured IMO. Southgate hasn't geared the side to play fast paced football into the channels or to switch tactics if Kane isn't working. That said I think there will be a point in the round of 16 or qtr final where Vardy and Rashford could be our key weapons. Southgate will need to have the balls to get them in the game when the time comes!

Panama tried to mainly attacked down the left, I think they did this because Maguire isn't the best defender of the back three and he doesn't have a natural defender in front of him. Playing Young could be the undoing of the defence, Bertrand should definately have been taken and be playing.

Unfortunately you can pick holes all through the defence and it will be the eventual downfall of us in the tournament.
In the meantime I reckon Harry is doing ****ing excellently in his 1st ever World Cup.
Ffs he's only just managed to break into the international scene and yet he's considered good enough by his manager.
Get behind the lad.
