'given the amount of playing time he has now' yet earlier you said;
So which is it?
Like I said - just admit you don't like him. He's done absolutely nothing wrong today.
And considering both Jones & Bailly have been at fault for at least 1 goal this season so far, even if Smalling is at fault for a goal today, it doesn't make him somehow a worse player.
Lol - The amount of playing time he’s had at the club !!!!
Smalling has played 4 games in the PL and has done ok but that doesn’t mask his career at United, which imo has been one of looking half decent with a quiity player next to him (Rio, vidic) but poor with the likes of Evans etc, to raising his game with LVG and massively regressing last season. He’s just average.
Yes Jones and Bailly have made mistakes as all defenders do from time to time but it’s about how frequently those mistakes are made I.e. mistake per minute. Plus how they can bring the ball out of defence and also intelligence.
Jose obviously agrees with me as Jones and Bailly are clearly his first choice when playing 2 CBs, I would imagine Rojo will also jump ahead of Smalling once he returns.
