Ings is roasting him at the moment.
Hehe.
Beast ! Smallingbauer ; p
His worst defensive performance in ages but he's still winning us the match 
Sell him, useless
Oh that was last week. And the week before. And the week before.
Give him a new contract

Dont know whether to laugh or cry that Chris Smalling is our goal machine.
One of the worst defensive halves of football in recent memory but he is putting our superstars strikers to shame!
Always said he's the one to start ahead of Jones with Rojo. Shame that LVG was too thick to notice it as well and Smalling is saving his sorry ass right now.
Just a goal behind Falcao now by the way, come on Chris, you can do it.

Jokes when Chris Smalling plays upfront next week.
I always thought he had tremendous attributes for scoring goals with his head. Two good headers from him, but shaky defensively.
He's been so bad in defence, but has scored twice. It about sums up our team tonight.
This is probably the worst I've seen him defend but still two goals
Mwaaah, has been suspect defensively. His worst defensive performance I remember from him. Unless your sarcastic.
Michael Jordan in flight !
Not really, I do rate Smalling higher than Jones.
Agree with you that we're all over the place with everything by the way, including defense
He's been absolutely terrible. Get the feck in though. Two big goals.
Two great headers from Chris.
Agreed.This is probably the worst I've seen him defend but still two goals
Has to go down as one of the best jinxes in recent memory.
He's been awful minus the goals.
Always thought he was a shit defender and now I know why, it turns out he's a fecking brilliant forward.His worst defensive performance in ages but he's still winning us the match
Anyone would look terrible coming on as a sub to play alongside Jonny Evans in this form
Really typical of you to say that ! One poor performance and shit immediately.
If I were Falcao and RVP I'd be shitting it so he doesn't take their spot up front next match to be fair.
That bit where's he's calling De Gea 30 yards out of his goal to deal with the ball when he has a defender on his back 
He shows no leadership or brains. He needs to take charge there. And hes done that a few times this season.

Him and Evans are dipshits. Don't they communicate when they going for a ball. Few times both went for headers, when our so called midfielders were challenging for them.
And that situation with De Gea. That should be his to clear.

Play him upfront!
On a serious note, someone needs to have a word with him at half time. Was awful defensively.
It was a joke FFS
It wouldnt surpise me. It's not like LVG hasnt made some odd decisions this season.
Why would they? They are playing bad for a while now and are still allowed 90 minutes every time.
Involved in all 3 goals........
I don't even know what to think. Great for scoring two goals but feck me Ings is abolutely rinsing him. Don't think he has been first to one ball.
Two good goals, can't defend.
The way we are set up I actually feel for our defence, even for Evans.
Yeah, him and Evans haven't been great to put it kindly, but they're getting no protection.
Another mistake from Smalling there.
Sub him, what a terrible defensive performance
He's getting a hat-trick today.
That would be the most mixed performance ever. His best performance but also his worst.
