He's just an abhorrent footballer. Our passing trouble as a team begins with the ball at his feet.

I long for the day him and Young are out of this club. We've put up for too long with this.

Hopefully "fans" like you are long gone before he is.

Every team presses when he has the ball.
It's getting ridiculous.

Only stupid defender would try to make that tackle inside the box. Luckily to escape a stonewall penalty. Please sell Smalling in the summer. Enough is enough.

Its going to be a long, miserable wait for you. Our team as a collective can't put two passes together and its of course Smalling's fault entirely right?

Why? it’s a valid opinion. Smalling is poor on the ball, and he regularly gives it away to create chances for the opposition.
Regularly? He seldom loses the ball, not nearly as much as you believe. Seems you're confusing his ability on the ball with him losing it, not the same thing. His pass completion is at 88% for the season, and yes I know it doesn't mean those passes were setting up attacks or anything, they mostly probably were simple short passes

Just this match he has set up a chance for Newcastle with a miss placed pass.

Its not a valid opinion that we're suffering as fans because of Young and Smalling and that they should be gone. They are trying hard playing for the club and might not be perfect at everything but are among the best in the league at what they are good at. We've spent a lot of money on players in their positions and yet they're the ones who continue to play because most of the time they do a good job. Have some perspective and support your team.

So has Matic, and he's been doing it more regularly lately. Its not like its a common thing with Smalling, his passes usually find his teammates as he keeps it simple.

He’s shite. Don’t really know what else to say about him. Should be playing for Crystal Palace and not a side trying to win the league.

Been saying for years he isn’t a United player. Needs to be sold in the Summer.

The absolute worst player at the club, which is saying something consider we still pay Darmian a salary.

A charlatan. We would be better off releasing him on a free transfer.

An appalling, appalling footballer.

Honestly, Jones was poor vs Tottenham but Smalling is just always bad. Diving which results in a goal for them.... Guy cant leave the club soon enough

It;s a toss up between Smalling and Lingard for the useless lump of the day award. No wonder our national team is dirt when these are two of the best players we can produce.
