Comfortably man of the match for me. Mopped up absolutely everything.
Completely agree on both points.Quite possibly, but no doubt when next he is injured the fans will go back to pretending that he is Klavan level.
If his body had held up he would probably already be recognized as one of the top defenders in the game.
And yet ridiculously, he’ll still be sat on the bench at the World Cup.England's best center back.
Nah if he keeps this up for the season he'll start I reckon.And yet ridiculously, he’ll still be sat on the bench at the World Cup.
I wouldn’t bet on it mate. That twat Southgate seems to love Cahill for some reason.Nah if he keeps this up for the season he'll start I reckon.
I'm not English so the shitter the betterI wouldn’t bet on it mate. That twat Southgate seems to love Cahill for some reason.
It shouldn’t be (and hopefully won’t be) but I can see Stones and Cahill starting.
Will he? Southgate said he's England best centre back and he starts when he's fit.And yet ridiculously, he’ll still be sat on the bench at the World Cup.
I must have missed that mate. He’d be mad to not start Jones if he’s fit and performing like this.Will he? Southgate said he's England best centre back and he starts when he's fit.
England's best center back.
Vindicated.He's better on the left of the back 2, he had a decent run there under LVG circa 2015.
He's looked like John Terry in the first half to me; he kept the ball moving nice and simply, made a few decent interceptions. He's always got a bit too giddy in chasing the ball, but if Jose can instill some positional and decisional intelligence, and his body hold up, he will be widely accepted as England's best defender by the World Cup.
He's taken a lot of abuse in the post-Ferguson wilderness, but he really does have a lot of class once he's got some continuity.
Yes because Smalling kicked him during an England training session.The fact that Jones has played 19 games in the league but not a single game in any other competition kind of shows that Jose rates him very highly and is trying his best to preserve him. The one major injury he had this season came with England
The nature of this forum, sometimes. Periods of temporary gain or loss of form is enough of a basis for many individuals to judge them on. Jones carries the ball forward very well; is good with the ball at his feet and has superb defensive nous. Injuries aside, he is a prime example of Sir Alex knowing what makes for a good defender when the physical side holds up.Quite possibly, but no doubt when next he is injured the fans will go back to pretending that he is Klavan level.
