Kyle Walker

I know the quotes. The trouble is, there’s almost three years between them. The Southgate quote came from the immediate aftermath of the incident, yet subsequently, within a month, he found a non-footballing reason to bin Maddison for years. The Maddison quote is recent, and shows he’s no fool. Back in the squad after almost three years consigned to the wilderness, and with Southgate likely to be around for a while yet, he’s hardly going to dig him out in public, is he? As for making any sense, Southgate is one of those managers, like our present incumbent in his mojo-less state, who rarely makes sense. He claims to pick on form, but every squad selection screams otherwise. And the decision-making on Toney, leaving him out when under investigation, picking him after he’s admitted offences on a huge scale, defies belief.

Maddison didn’t actually deserve a call up for a fair part of that period.
