He knows Smalling is shite but keeps playing him? LOL Smalling has more minutes than all our CBs. If Smalling is shit what does that say about what Mourinho thinks about Bailly? Mourinho usually plays his defensive signings so he must really not rate Lindelof either.
Can't you read what a wrote ? Bailly is injure prone & lindelof can't adapt yet , both rcb in their previous club , jose bought them as smalling replacement , who else ? Smalling is benchwarmer if both were fit & firing
First JM doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing playing Smalling over Lindeloff. But then you agree Jose understands defense, and he knows Smalling is shite? Funny that Jose, defending Smalling today after the game, defending the dive too, even though he knows Mike is shite. Doesn’t he have the balls to bash Mike, like he did with Mikhi?
What did you expect him to tell to the media ?telling him how stupid his dive in & how bad he was with his feet ? Manager never actually blame player directly on post-match interview , they do it behind public
Apparently had misgivings on Smalling and Jones before the Newcastle game but chose to play Smalling and Jones together regardless of Rojo and Lindelof on the bench anyway, sounds poor to me.
So it's going to be another summer of throwing money at the problem and seeing if it fixes itself if David McDonnell is to be believed, i'm of the belief they should of been replaced within the 4 windows we've had to do it, I understand Bailly's been injured but Lindelof has gone missing recently and Smalling and Jones should of gone last summer.
The best news today, hopefully like Rooney ( after Watford game , suddenly press criticize him ) jose just gave them rope to hang on Before outing them
Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles on Smalling and Jones: “You could see them on the ball and they didn’t really know what to do with it.” #mufc [express]
Even he knows what's wrong with them in just 90 minutes
Both our cb are clueless with the ball & force de gea to hoof more than it should ruining our team play.
I don't care how good smalling is at defending , according to pep almighty , good football is played from the back , a ball playing cb is better than these 2 clowns for team like us , they are more suited for stoke.
Don't bring me bs stats as pass - completion rate , even my nan can do that if it only to de gea - Jones & valencia
