Probably not, but he should be in the SQUAD of 23 every match. Sadly waistcoat won’t pick him as not at villa, palarse or a big 7 club.
unfortunately his weakness is big / strong forwards running at him. Good on the ball, good against smaller / quicker strikers but gets turned inside / out by bigger number 9s who play tight to him. Probably why he got torn to bits with England by Rashford & Kane according to media reports
No and I’ve thought that for a long time.
A great organiser, stalwart and defender for us, but he’d get burnt for pace in proper internationals. He doesn’t deserve further caps. With Webster, they made Iwobi, Garner and Doucoure look world beaters.
[That doesn’t mean I rate Mings, Keane or Dier. They don’t deserve England caps. CB is the achilles heel of the squad].

No way. Mark Lawrenson was CB perfection and went onto to win everything multiple times.

It's one game, one where he did make mistakes, sure, but was also left exposed time and again by the tactics we employed.
And as you point out, he's still better than the rest. Anyone who points to Dunks mistakes tonight and use that as a reason to leave him out whilst simultaneously picking Maguire isn't truly serious.
For me, I’ve felt it for a couple of years. I used to really want him to get at least one more cap.
As I say, Mings and Dier don’t deserve more either.

I thought he might have played himself into contention on Thursday and today he undid his good work. What an absolute mare.

Interesting that the first game after letting DZ’s tactics out of the bag with Jamie Redknapp and a call from people to get another call up he has the poorest game for a long while. Hopefully he will get over it and back to his best. It’s been a tough season both physically and mentally for those undroppable players. The run in was always going to be difficult and the cup run has turned out to be a bit too much to deal with.
Walker is in our top 3 CB, Shaw is better than most as well
Says it all about the state of our CB in England squad.
