Not a good weekend for Maguire or Gomez, neither of whom look international quality this season. John stones has been a liability for 2 years, so all three of Southgate’s preferred CB’s are out of form or just not good enough.

Brighton’s Dunk should be in the running too as well as Mings Edited by Tom-the-eagle (05 Oct 2020 4.47pm)

Southgate's squads are stale and predictable. He will choose the same until one goes to prison.

There used to be plenty of English CBs to choose from but this season virtually all of them are looking poor. There is a certain French one that's looking very poor too but that's for a different forum!

I would say Connor Coady is one of them and maybe Eric Dier

I like Conor Coady and Eric Dier, who in my opinion is going to be a mainstay at tottenham and have his best ever season under Mourinho, but it doesn't seem like Southgate is going to place his trust in either one. Also a Dier/Coady pairing lacks pace big time. I used to like Maguire but he seems way off it this season.

City were trying to loan out Stones yesterday too. What an expensive mistake he was. Strange as England have historically (in my time) had a glut of decent CBs that embody the battling, don't-give-em-an-inch, body-on-the-line spirit that prevents strikers from getting a look-in. Has that sort of footballer been coached out of the game for more technical professionals?

England's weakest position for a long time since we had Terry/Ferdinand/Campbell. I think Gomez is just a bit out of form at the moment, Maguire and Stones are awful though so I'd keep them away from the squad but Southgate is Mr Loyal so won't do the same. England's CBs for me should be Gomez, Coady, Dunk, Dier and one of Mings or Keane based on the pairs form. Tarkowski would be a good pick if he could get out of Burnley and into somewhere like Everton/Wolves.

Being a CB is alot more than taking care of business at the back these days. Not all CB's can be the near perfect Virgil van Dijk, so you have to pick the qualities you want in your CB's. IN the case of Maguire and Gomez they are pretty solid at the back, but have their moments. But Gomez is about as fast as it gets back there, and can play the ball out and around all day long. Maguire also can play the ball out and is an excellent threat in the opposing box as well as roaming striker when he feels like it LOL. Walker has looked good as a CB when he plays 3xCB, but he cant pass for toffee, though he does have speed.

Mr Magoo is the most overrated England player in decades.
