I don't know how you can draw that conclusion from today's performance, was solid today, played well.Squad player at best.
Not at all. Having someone play those balls from the CB position where he will get every time on the ball he likes looks brilliant to me.It's not surprising any more. He's more than capable of playing such quality balls every game. Too good a passer to be a CB.
Being sarcastic, that's what got spread about him so often while he is a key player for us. He can be a key player for us at every position except ST, RW, and GK, the guy would even do a job for you on left wing.I don't know how you can draw that conclusion from today's performance, was solid today, played well.

A thing of beautyThat pass was so good! Scholes-esque!
Its between him, Shaw and Smalling.Love Blind - been probably the best player for us this season.
This. It's working great for us because if the opposition try to close him down more its just going to open up more space for the likes of Carrick, Schweinsteiger and Mata. I'm really digging his role in the team.I think its because he is playing at CB he has the space to play the balls that he does since there really is no-one marking him.
That's a fair point. He is above average height but I guess small for the position.People keep acting as if he's the shortest CB in the world and it's a miracle (and a matter of time) that no forward has taken advantage of that yet. At 1.80 (5'11) he's comfortably taller than Cannavaro, Baresi, Moore, Puyol and as tall as Beckenbauer and Koeman. He might be a bit smaller than the average for a CB but it's definitely not as much as people make it out to be. He can still be a fantastic CB.
Probably not a bad job since he can cross the ball like no one can in our squad.Being sarcastic, that's what got spread about him so often while he is a key player for us. He can be a key player for us at every position except ST, RW, and GK, the guy would even do a job for you on left wing.
And we should play about 18-20 a year of these at home including CL and cups. That's a third of the season.In these types of games he's exactly what you want at the back when you know you'll have the ball.
It's brilliant when it works. We're finally starting to see the pieces of the philosophy fall into place, and provide results more frequently. Blind is really confident on the ball, passes with precision, and has turned out be a great asset as a defender as well. I really like him at center back, he's made his manager look pretty smart.It's basically cheating to have a centreback who can play passes like that.
