The sooner England loses Maguire, Hender$audi, and, hopefully, Southgate, the better.
I don’t feel entirely comfortable lumping Maguire and Henderson into the same bracket here. There’s obviously a footballing argument to be made about Maguire not being selected, and there’s also now a footballing argument to be made about Henderson due to how poor quality the Saudi league is, but I’d like to think fans booing Henderson were doing that more on a moral level due to his blatant hypocrisy.
I just feel like talking about a player who should be dropped for footballing reasons and, in the same breath, a player who has done something many morally disagree with, to the point he has been disowned by certain sections of the fanbase, actually lessens the overall point a bit. As it allows Maguire and Southgate to come out with the absolute nonsense they have and talk about footballing reasons for why Henderson should be in the squad.
