Лидс Юнайтед клубийн хамгаалагч асан Мэттью Килгаллон энэ улиралд өндөр түвшинд тоглож буй Жэйдэн Боглыг Английн шигшээ багт дуудах ёстой байсан гэж үзэж байна. Богл энэ улиралд Лидс Юнайтедийн бүх арван тоглолтод гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнээс оролцож, жигүүрийн хамгаалагчийн хувиар тогтмол сайн тоглолтыг үзүүлж байгаа юм. Тэрээр багийнхаа хамгийн олон буюу 16 удаа алдаа авсан тоглогч болжээ.
Томас Тухелийн сонгосон бүрэлдэхүүнд Трент Александер-Арнольд, Бен Уайт, Эзри Конса болон Жед Спенс нар багтсан ч Килгаллон Боглыг багтаагүйд цочирдсоноо илэрхийлсэн байна. Тэрээр Боглын хамгаалалтын ажиллагаа болон довтолгоонд оролцох чадварыг өндрөөр үнэлжээ.
Өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт болсон Тоттенхэмийг 1-0-ээр хожсон тоглолтын үеэр Богл Матис Тел рүү халдсаны улмаас улаан хуудас авах дөхсөн ч шүүгч түүнийг торгуулиар шийтгэсэнгүй. Килгаллоны тайлбарласнаар, тухайн үед тоглогч хурдаа сааруулж, хяналттай байсан нь улаан хуудас авахаас сэргийлсэн гэж үзэж байгаа аж.
Тоглолтын дараа Лидс Юнайтед клуб Жэйдэн Боглд чиглэсэн арьс өнгөөр ялгаварлан гадуурхсан дайралт хийснийг эрс буруушаан албан ёсны мэдэгдэл гаргасан байна.

Jayden Bogle has been top-notch for Leeds United so far this season and deserved to be selected in the England squad.
That’s the view of former Leeds defender Matthew Kilgallon, who had extensive praise for one of the most in-form Premier League players.
Bogle has started in all ten of Leeds’ league fixtures and has shone on the right side of their attack and defence as a wing-back.
He has drawn 16 fouls during the campaign, which is the most in their squad, and been a constant threat across all areas of the pitch.
A former England Under-20 player, Bogle has never earned a call-up to the senior side and therefore missed out on Thomas Tuchel’s latest side.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ben White were the chosen right-backs, with Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence also able to play in the role.
But for Kilgallon, Bogle deserved a spot in the squad and possibly his England debut against either Croatia or Spain, with the latter being their opponents live on talkSPORT on Sunday.
Bogle England omission a ‘shock’
“Is there a chance, at some point, with question marks against Trent and Reece James injured, that perhaps he could get a call-up for his country?” Scott Minto asked on Saturday Session.
Kilgallon replied: “Scott, it’s a right shout from you. To be honest, I couldn’t believe he wasn’t in the squad this time, he has been outstanding.
“Don’t get me wrong, he’s got a lovely relationship with James Justin, they work really well together, or they’ve got a bit of freedom – sometimes, James Justin will come forward with the ball and Jayden Bogle will sit back in that right-side centre-half, or right-back.
“But honestly, it’s quite hard to actually say what position he plays for Leeds United… I’ve seen him in goal at one point!
“Sometimes, he’s actually the highest player on the pitch for Leeds United, he’s got freedom but, do you know what?
“He works so hard, he will go forward and make something happen, but he’ll be back defending, his recovery runs are unbelievable.
“I was shocked he wasn’t in the squad, he’s getting spoken about quite a lot and what I’ve seen of him this season, and it’s a lot by the way, he’s been top drawer.”
Although Bogle has received plaudits for his performances at Leeds, he was at the centre of controversy last weekend.
The 26-year-old avoided a red card in their 1-0 win over Spurs after a tackle on Mathys Tel, who was eventually substituted with an injury.
Bogle caught Tel on the back of his ankle in a challenge that sparked fury from talkSPORT’s Jamie O’Hara.
Former Chelsea left-back Minto asked about the incident, and Kilgallon explained why he was not dismissed at Elland Road.
“If it was with the actual tackling foot, his right foot, and it hits him high on the Achilles, then you’re going, ‘That’s going to be a red.’
“But it was his standing foot, he looks to try and plant that left down to then try and tackle with his right foot.
“He’s actually caught him with his standing foot on the Achilles and it does look bad slowed down.
“But if you actually watch it at real pace, he’s in control as he’s going towards the winger, he’s not running in there recklessly where you go, ‘Oh my god, it’s a car crash’.
“He’s actually gone in, slowed himself down to sort of jockey him, I think that’s where he got away with it, I think I heard something about the ref saying it was something to do with the pace when he came into the challenge.”
Leeds later issued a statement to condemn vile racial abuse that was sent to Bogle after the match.
