This. In one on one situations today Smalling was superb. He is clearly a level above any other centre half at the club. Much like Rafael things Smalling did when he was younger have made a lot of people think he's not up to it. They stick with the impressions they had of him under Moyes or whatever, when in fact over 2014/15 he was one of our best players.How many times does he need to demonstrate that he's our best defender before it sinks in?
I couldn't give a flying one about his passing, because the gap between him and the rest of our central defenders is huge. Defenders defend, first and foremost.
