Much of a muchness defensively IMO the lot of them, not quite international standard. Maguire most likely to pop up at the other end with a header which is why I think he’ll always make the teamSouth Coast Royal wrote:I have always liked Tarkowski but for all of his defensive qualities I would suggest that he is behind Dunk and even Maguire in his distribution IMHO.Sanguine wrote:I'm on record as one of Southgate's biggest supporters - but his selections in recent times have become more and more frustrating. Maybe summed up by the fact that James Tarkowski - ranked first in the PL for aeriel duels won and blocked shots, and second in clearances, playing for the best defence outside of the top 3 - is apparently nowhere near the Euros squad. He should be ahead of Dunk, Maguire and Guehi in the pecking order, imho.
At international level distribution is important and that is why Stones, who I think is physically a bit soft,is an automatic selection.
Would still have Tarkowski or Coady over Maguire .
Fairly regular calls for Dunk these last couple of seasons who was poor in last roster of internationals, doubt he’ll make the cut
