Probably our best player today.
So can we all agree that we probably need to play more than one man in defence? Shaw has been decent.One man defence today
Was just coming in to say the same thing. He's been deserted by the entire defence and midfield today.One man defence today
Wouldn't be hard really. But yeah, agreed. He has really improved lately and is getting back to some of the brilliant early form he showed when he first signed.Probably our best player today.
Strongly agree with this. It's unreal how much he has to cover for Valencia.Getting him a right back is a bigger priority than a CB partner. His workload down the right is ridiculous.

Was just about to post the same comment, nice to see him taking the lead and marshalling around our other young defenders, with Vidic and Ferdinand going in the one window we needed somebody to step up and lead the defence, I thought it was going to be Ronnie Evans but I can see Smalling keeping his place no matter who we bring in nowStepping up big time, looking like a leader and he's thriving with van Gaal's coaching. Needs some help.
He's a better defender than Boateng, but Boateng is better on the ball.btw how would you guys compare him to Boateng?
Couldn't agree more. Valencia can be a head case too often, while Paddy is still a kid and will be prone to having off games.Can only trust him and Shaw at the back
This. There's that article about him when he was signed. A proper mama's boy who rise from poverty by sheer hardwork.I've always liked him, ..
You wouldn't happen to have a link for that article would you?This. There's that article about him when he was signed. A proper mama's boy who rise from poverty by sheer hardwork.
Clyne and Stones and have the full England back four!He's really turned it around after the City game, I remember in my complete rage at his red card I wanted him sold (I don't think I was ever as angry at a player )
De Gea, Shaw and Smalling are quality if we add Hummels and a proper RB to that back 5 we'll have the best defense in the league. I would actually love Carvajal!
