Exactly this. Smalling does things like that thing Lindelof did in the game but much better and with more confidence, hes a lot stronger than Lindelof. Hes the most underrated player at the club imo. His on the ball ability is way exaggerated in a negative way. Hes obviously not great on the ball but hes nowhere near as uncomfortable as some people make him out to be. Sometimes if you are in a lot of trouble you just have to boot a ball down the pitch or out of bounds. Its what people tell you to do from a young age. Its not a problem. I'd much rather than the equivalent of trying to always find a passing target and then giving away a goal eg. Ederson vs Liverpool last season, Evans when he was at United.You claim something like this and then go ahead and learn how good Smalling actually is. It's when you pay attention to these types of details that you actually notice a defender of Smalling's kind. He does this sort of thing all the time, cleaning up other peoples mess. If you haven't noticed this then you want to be ready to watch Chris next time like you watched Lindelof this game.
