He's so valuable in the air when we're defending our box - absolutely miles better at heading then the rest of our centre-backs, and that's why he should be our first choice back there.
I get the feeling that Smalling's imposing presence and confidence as a defender is making Evans perform better as well. Smalling was solid today, and other than the penalty incident, he didn't really make any other mistakes. No wonder Evans is performing better recently.Just come in to bump this, absolute monster after the penalty incident. He keeps us in the opposition half. IF he can stay fit, it has to be Smalling + 1 and I don't care if they have to be purchased but it has to be someone better than Evans/Rojo
Although to be fair to the former, he too was very good this evening.
This is an incomprehensible post.He is a clueless player and then he makes stupid things often.
He was responding to my post I think.This is an incomprehensible post.
I agree, they have a couple of games here and there where you think they might be getting it and then it's back to brain fartery, no way we challenge for the big competitions with the CB's we have.None of Jones, Evans or Smalling are anywhere near good enough.
He was playing in the Conference a few years ago, it's not hard to see why. We desperately need a proper, ball playing cb to partner Rojo.His touch is pub team level, sometimes I wonder whether this club is too big for him.
For me he is poor but I would still keep him in the squad ahead of Evans, Jones!
And we have been repeating this for three years and feck all has been done. All three of them are crocks who have 0 composure when it comes down to it. Makes me sad that we went from Rio and Vidic down to these lotNone of Jones, Evans or Smalling are anywhere near good enough.
http://www.lastminutegoals.org/manchester-united-vs-arsenal-fa-cup/Wtf was he doing on the first goal? Instead of staying out on the right he wanders to the inside and does nothing.
They would play only mid-low table teams, not sure as regular startersNone of Jones, Evans or Smalling are anywhere near good enough.
He does seem to be very highly rated on here, I'm not sure why.How people still 'believe in him' and think he is a title winning and CL winning CB, I have no idea!
I've been saying it since forever....I just don't get it.He does seem to be very highly rated on here, I'm not sure why.
It only seems to be on this forum for whatever reason, outside of it he is seen as an ok player, nothing more nothing less.I've been saying it since forever....I just don't get it.
