He shouldn't get dragged out of position so easily. Smalling has a problem with getting dragged out of position into stupid areas, he does it alot especially when his brain isn't switched on and teams probably plan on exploiting it.
How dare you insult dog shit like that.
And he sounds like a girl.
Sad part is he will probably still be here next season.
No player at a side like United should be as shocking on the ball as Smalling is. Its pathetic.

They defend as a team to grind out results. Any of our CBs would look good with all that protection. Their issue is on the other side of the pitch going forward.
You'd say that to his face I bet, as manly as you are and all
Yeah, we need defenders who can play out from the back. Smalling obviously can't. Send him to Burnley, it's his level.
He was very poor for the goal bu giving away free kick by pathetic dive, and then not winning the ball.
Why Jones didn't for initial header is beyond me. It was pathetic goal to concede.

Offended for him are you?
Couldn't help yourself but chime in on a conversation you're not a part of eh
What's he going to do? Dive?
You gonna call him out for his shite today?
I personally think he should be behind Bailly, Rojo, Jones and Lindelof.
I actually thought Lindelof looked as though he was coming on quite well in the run of games he had.

I already did.
Don’t think he was as bad as is being made out. Granted he gave away the free kick but it should have been dealt with when it was swung in and Ritchie shouldn’t have been left completely unmarked.
second away game in a row that he is bad. And for goal he dived, than allowed his player in the box to pass the ball. Before that he made a stupid foul for penalty. After that he had some really bad decisions( example in last minutes when he was near the ball and decided to stay back and allowed attacker to collect the ball).
So no, he is not scapegoat, he was the main reason(with jones) why we lost our two last games. Of course not the only reason, lots of other player were bad( pogba, lingard, mourinho) but he was our biggest problem.
He just might after you put the fear of God in him with your manly voice

When headball is introduced he'll be the man, stupid football being played on the ground.
I thought that we learned years ago that tackles are a bad metric to judge CBs on.
He made 2 interceptions and 7 clearances with 1 blocked shot. Also 8 headers.
Jones made 2 interceptions, 2 clearances 1 blocked shot and 1 tackle & 2 headers.
For the dive? Or the shit performance?
Someones had a bad weekend.
No technical ability
No defensive nous
No leadership after being at united for good 7 years
Cant pass
Cant organise
Cant jump most of the times
No intelligence
Touch of a brick wall
Takes ages to release the ball
Keep holding the oppo player and grabbing the shirt in the penalty area
And the way he shifts and adjusts his body to pass to someone is so infuriating and hilarious at the same time. I really dread to think what VAR would do when he is playing for us.

Smalling is a 6'4 former Judo champion. I would love to see one of you confront him.
He's a fecking brainless idiot and i don't ever say that before on our players. He's going to cost us more points and losses if Jose continues to play him and ultimately his job
Look at the state of him.
These stats always look so shockingly low for 90mins of action don't they!
Jones made 2 headers? In a game of 90mins? Can't believe that.
Newcastle had the ball, so i'm a bit surprised the ref blew there. It was still about 40 yards out, so hardly prime free kick territory.
Although it obviously suddenly became one!
He’s just not very good. Certainly not good enough to be playing for a team that has aspirations of winning league titles. Ridiculous he’s still here.
Appalling.
Kinda. But you'd be surprised how many times people rave about performances of CBs when they have so few tackles and interceptions. Jones made 2 headers because Smalling took charge on most of them and the clearances. So yeah it does look low but sometimes when your partner is making lots and taking charge its going to happen.
Nobody in our team made more than 2 tackles. Nobody made more than 2 interceptions. Nobody made more than 1 blocked shot. Smalling made more than double anyone else's headers or clearances but again, thats because he took charge on a bunch of occasions. So thats the context for the numbers being low.
Been saying he isn’t good enough for years. How he is still here is baffling.
It's amazing to think he's 29 and we signed him at 20!
How time flies!
But then Fellaini has been here 5 years and Mata 4 1/2. Not many would have seen those lasting those times either.
2nd half was all us, we were creating opportunities and Newcastle were under severe pressure. Smalling dive presented them with an opportunity to release that pressure and ultimately it resulted into a goal. This place has a habit of scapegoating players but in Smalling's instance today it is absolutely justified.
We should've shipped him off instead of Tuanzebe. He's an accident waiting to happen every time he steps on the pitch.
Not at all. Currently on vocation and about to have some tequila shots. United losing is never good for the mood but that will soon change
He's just so erratic it can't be a pleasure to play alongside him at the heart of the defense.
