Some great defending tonight by Jones. Seemed to be more disciplined which was good to see.
You say that, but that's his FM height. He's definitely not actually 5-11. He is a couple inches taller than that at least.5ft 11
I remember cos he's the same height as Duncan Edwards, who he has been compared to in the past. Both appeared taller than they actually are.You say that, but that's his FM height. He's definitely not actually 5-11. He is a couple inches taller than that at least.
There's picture evidence on here somewhere, he's 4ft8"You say that, but that's his FM height. He's definitely not actually 5-11. He is a couple inches taller than that at least.
but hes not though. 5"11" maxHe is listed as anything from 180cm to 185 cm depending on the source. His height is contentious.
Eg; All of these sources suggest he's 6ft 1, or 185.

He looks less composed than he did playing CB last season. He was good in the air but quite dodgy, although he wasn't helped by Evra going AWOL. Not sure why people are criticising Rio, yeah he dropped a couple of yards deeper than the rest of the back four but that's because Rafael and Jones were stepping up constantly, trying to win every ball.I love Jones but he has a remarkable knack for being the cause of goals in almost every big game he plays in.
agree. but he is pretty good in defence too if he had a decent partner.He's a midfielder, and a much better one that the hairy lump we're currently playing there.
I do like Jones, but like I argued for ages, he's well behind the likes of Smalling when it comes to the innate defensive duties such as positioning and reading of the game. He's rash, and he'll improve given the chances to make his mistakes, but Smalling always has been and still is the better defender. As is Evans.It's interesting how he always escapes criticism. Again at fault for the goal, and loads of individual mistakes and bad positioning, late reactions, etc.
I am really surprised how anyone finds him better than Evans and Smalling, it's not even close.
Yup, especially that we've had no defender on the bench. Was glad to see him stay for the second half...Shit my pants when he started to hold his leg after kicking the ball out for a throw. Losing another defender is the last thing we need.
