🚨Alan Shearer on Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire missing the World Cup:
“Luke Shaw missing out makes some sense because he’s been injured for almost the whole season. But Harry Maguire? Come on, you’ve got to be kidding me. What exactly is Thomas Tuchel thinking?
Who is better than Maguire right now? Seriously, tell me. Every time England need someone to defend properly, win aerial duels, organise the backline, and fight for the badge, Maguire is there. People laugh, people criticise, but when the pressure comes, he always stands up.
Football is about performances, consistency, character, and experience. And whether people like it or not, Harry Maguire gives you all of that.
You cannot tell me there are many English centre-backs performing better than him right now. Impossible. At Manchester United, whenever he plays, you see leadership, aggression, and composure. He doesn’t hide. Some players disappear when things get difficult — Maguire doesn’t.
Leaving him out of the World Cup? For me, that’s a massive gamble. In tournament football, you need warriors, leaders, players with personality. Harry Maguire has proven that many times for England.
I really don’t understand this decision at all.”
