@SaleSharksRugby Not a great second half, but 2 points tonight should get us European Cup next year and we have blooded a lot of young lads tonight…great learning curve for them in how to close out a game. Result largely irrelevant, even if we should have won it.
Keep the faith…
🚨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.”
@bbcquestiontime Keep Starmer in please. A man devoid of responsibility, unable to tell the truth and a leader with no personality. They have zero chance of winning the next election under him, the worst government in living memory!
@ohlookitswill_@KP24 In an ideal world yes, but I’m not ignorant to the economics of it all and perfectly understand why the lure of the IPL is what it is…
