He's nothing more then your average, physically strong, English centre back. See Shawcross.
There was absolutely no excuse for not tracking back at that goal, surely he realised he was out of positionLooking forward to the excuses afforded to him once again. Average average centre half.
Add to that - a penalty-giver waiting to happen in most games..He's nothing more then your average, physically strong, English centre back. See Shawcross.
DisagreeAye, I think Raf should have been more aware, but given he was at similar depth to Rojo I have to place the majority of the blame on Jones.
Jones didn't do well, but Rafael was in no mans land playing Berahino onTweet

Coming back from injury. Give the lad a break. he's the future captain of England, you know.Looking forward to the excuses afforded to him once again. Average average centre half.
I've made the point though that even if Rafael is holding the line, Berahino has a ridiculous amount of space in behind Jones. Essentially, no matter where Rafael stand Berahino has space once he stays onside.Disagree

Because he's a brainless idiot who has all the subtlety of a rampaging rhino.When they replayed the second goal and highlighted him and Rojo, I just don't understand why Jones felt the need to rush out towards the ball. Left a huge gap behind and easy space for Beharinho. The gaps between our center halves and full backs on both sides is too big and was shown again tonight.
Well he had to press their midfield as no one was, if anything i think Rojo should have moved over to cover him. Rafael clearly had an eye on their wingerWhere the feck did he go for the second goal?
Berahino would be off if Rafael stepped up though. I agree Jones isn't blameless, but I think the majority of blame lays with Rafael.I've made the point though that even if Rafael is holding the line, Berahino has a ridiculous amount of space in behind Jones.

Constant wreckless injuries and lack of fitness.This is because he's been used as a utility player during his time here. He hasn't had the development a centre half should have and we saw that tonight.

It's also the fullback's responsibility to keep in line with the rest of the defence. If he was in line with Shaw and Rojo, Berahino is offside.It wasn't Rafa's fault. It's the CBs job to take care of such a run Rafa was rather outside to prevent a winger coming into play
Jones played well under Ferguson so did Valencia.Jones, Young, Valencia, the Pogba 'sale'... Fergie has had a mare.
Jones future England captain my arse.
Its a cover for hoofing. He's not confident enough to play it on the deck so he aims it far away in the air, that way if it goes wrong the ball aint close. It shows fear.His defensive positioning (or lack thereof) often puts us in a lot of trouble. But it's not this part of his game that is infuriating. Why does he insist on hitting diagonal 40 yard long balls every time he has the ball? He isn't Scholes! There were so many times in the game where he hit it to an opposition or hoofed it out of play instead of playing the simple pass to one of our midfielders crying out for it!
