Perhaps, being bulky could/probably did play a part his perpetual injury issues.Just me or does he look slimmer than ever on the pictures from LA?
How can a player who is always injured be a trusty player to call upon when needed?Very useful squad player but also extremely injury prone. I don't expect him to be a first choice for Mourinho this season, but a trusty player to call upon when needed.

9/10 when he's needed he's injured.
Did you read my post?? Are you telling me that he isn't a useful squad player when fit...I'd rather have him in the squad than not.How can a player who is always injured be a trusty player to call upon when needed?

I'm saying he's not fit enough on a regular basis to be useful.Did you read my post?? Are you telling me that he isn't a useful squad player when fit...I'd rather have him in the squad than not.
This is why I love Phil Jones and really hope he can overcome this injury nightmare.
One of the best angles...and look at this right index finger, all bent out of shape like his body and face.
Everyone has been hoping that for years now.. he is a decent defender and could be a good defender but he is just injured way too oftenThis is why I love Phil Jones and really hope he can overcome this injury nightmare.
I'd go as far as saying he's England's best senior centreback; he's a better defender than Stones (and more productive with the ball too), better footballer than Smalling, more complete than Cahill. He's just been hindered by chaotic positional/managerial changes and injuries; had he got 3/4 years under Ferguson/Capello, he'd be a much steadier player now, but Jose might just be able to salvage something.Not bad today.. actually very comfortable with the ball, passing around freely.
If he is injured all the time, no, i would not have him in the team.Did you read my post?? Are you telling me that he isn't a useful squad player when fit...I'd rather have him in the squad than not.
Sums United up as a whole recently tbh.Comfortably the worst player in first half with Blind I think ? Caught very easily in the goal and couldn't do anything with their attacker.
He's part of a group of players here who can look like a beast in one game then terrible in the next one. Pretty inconsistent.
Have seen a few comments about him being a good squad player, but really? Whats the point of a squad player who is never fit? I would prefer he is moved on and any minutes he would have got go to Axel/TFM instead.Honestly, great squad player but I hope he's no where near the starting 11....

That´s true..If Smalling had defended like Jones for on goal last night there would probably be 3 extra pages of posts.
