Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens react to England manager Gareth Southgate’s defence of the much-criticised Harry Maguire, but wonder why the defender continues to make the squad when not featuring regularly for Manchester United.

"Only English Players" can play as bad as this guy and still plays 😂😂😂
The fact that Southgate called him up and now says this is ridiculous. He is the primary reason why Maguire is getting abused.
Well southgate cant back down now…
He has come out in the news saying that the fans bantering him makes his teammates play better – and his mum is now fighting his battles for him.
What a meme 😂
I think you’re severely underrated Guehi Gab. He’s an incredible defender
Sporting Cristal – eso es genial, Juls!
This is the first time I like this two.
Southgate still have Stockholm syndrome from euro 96, so he need maguire to experience it 😏
Is Southgate really saying that England doesn't have a better player in Maguire's position? There are plenty but he's sunk costed himself into not getting rid of Maguire. It's not just poor form it's being slow, arrogant and with poor positioning.
Why are the English crying. Maguire is the greatest Defender in Englands history
I think harry maguire is southgates fall guy . He knows he can't win big so he has a fall guy in maguire who people loves to hate . I think fans should boo southgate than maguire . He's atleast trying hard
He should be dropped but Gareth won’t don’t it this will get Gareth the sack in the future
No. Southgate should be dropped. Think about it no Southgate, no Maguire. Simple.
England in the first half with no Henderson or Maguire looked the real deal. Quick, sharp passing, cutting through play, they looked like a legitimate threat and Scotland couldn't live with them. Half time Maguire comes on, the whole team grounds to a halt, starts to look apprehensive and nervous, build up play takes centuries to materialise. Southgate's defense of Maguire once again highlights his deep flaws as a manager, it wont be until Maguire costs us in a big moment in the Euros that people are not only calling for Maguire's head but Southgate's aswell unfortunately it will come too late for us not to see the complete waste of a generation of talent.
The hate on that guy 👦 my word….
i dont get the whole 'he never let England down' point when maguire is clearly not good enough. Does he literally have to score 8 own goals in a world cup final for southgate to drop him?
Southgate should be dropped
Southgate needs to go
Every time Maguire steps on the pitch he adds more content to his YouTube blooper compilations. 🤦♂️
Economic Maguire 😂
Joker Maguire!
Maguire is a shiet defender, but i never blame him for being shiet, there are only 2 idiots in this case, Southgate and people who blames maguire instead of southgate, i've not played football for 3 years, but if my national team calls me, i'm sure i will take the chance, i may play like shiet, but it's not my fault, those who calls me are the one to blame.
He should definitely be dropped because he's rubbish.
People that go online and grill maguire have no life
Maguire should be NOWHERE near the squad.
Jules is so hypocritical, he thought is was ok for fans in France to boo Messi!!!!
Southgate and Maguire are stalling the international careers of better (mostly) younger players. Tomouri, Ghehi, Dunk, Colwill. All of these players can play against Scotland or Ukraine
That Southgate puts Harry Maguire above Ben White, Tomori & Colwill is enough to give him the sack.
