    For both Stones and Maguire I think a large part of that is them being English and having gone for large transfer fees. They are (or have been) generally regarded as England's best defenders. If they were foreign I think the pundits and press would be highlighting their mistakes alot more, but they don't want to undermine England's chances of winning the World Cup / European Championships / Nations League
    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      It's absolutely about them being English and "seen" as the best defenders we have (they're not).

        And keeping a clean sheet against Bulgaria for England is seen as major achievement at the highest level.

              He was decent enough at Chelsea

              Imagine he'll be out the door at Inter if he doesn't win the league this season

                  Mental. Imagine being too expensive to sack in any other industry.

                    Conte and his staff cost Chelsea almost £30m to pay off after they sacked him.
