To say he played with reckless abandon would be being kind...
He tried to kill himself and a Liverpool player (Lallana?) at the same time on the beginning of the match.Other than the yellow where Blind had already messed up, was fine.
He won the header, how are you going to complain about that? We need some more people like that who aren't pussies and afraid to win a 50/50.He tried to kill himself and a Liverpool player (Lallana?) at the same time on the beginning of the match.
I get scared very much when the ball is near him.
There's something hilarious about watching him completely poleaxe someone. He doesn't do anything in half measures.
It was a reckless challenge, which could have injured him and Liverpool player. It resulted in a foul which could have been a yellow.He won the header, how are you going to complain about that? We need some more people like that who aren't pussies and afraid to win a 50/50.
Agreed, first half especially he was magnificent imo.He was one of our best players. The yellow card was a foul he had to make. Blind put him in an uncomfortable position and he had to take one for the team. Maybe he should not have fouled it that manner but, it is a foul he had to make to stop the attack.
That tackle wasn't the cleverest thing to do, on another day a ref may have acted differently.
Was fine today, though lucky enough to only get a yellow given the circumstances.
I've come to realise I really don't trust him though. Today he was the player I felt was most likely to screw up in defence (or injure himself tackling someone). This has nothing to do with what he actually did on the pitch today but rather the impression that has formed over the course of the season.
Don't think he's going to make it here and if we sell more than one CB in the summer then he'll be one of them imo.
Cause they weren't near as much rash as Jones. Rojo made a crazt challenge a few weeks ago, but otherwise has been quite calm. Vidic lost his head several times.I can see where it comes from, but he gets stereotyped too much.
Didn't see people moaning constantly at Vidic being rash? Or even Rojo?

For all the moaning people do about Jones on here Van Gaal seems to trust him.
I think he started our season as our second CB (after Rojo) but on the last few weeks I think that LVG preferred Smalling. Now that Rojo is back, it would be interesting to see who will partner Rojo. I guess it will be Smalling consideiring how good he has been this season.For all the moaning people do about Jones on here Van Gaal seems to trust him.

Jones on the other side is just weird. It isn't that he is malicious or anything like that, just that he looks to have no controll at all on his body. When he sees the ball he just goes to clear it regardless of consequences (both on the possibility of injuring himself or someone else and the possibility of being booked/sent off). And he does that pretty much every game.

I'm glad to see that bit of recklessness back in him. He became far too passive and safe and that actually created unnecessary errors.
He's not had a red card in a United shirt (think this is right) as far as I know. Absolute beast at the last ditch stuff. And he's just hilarious.
No such thing as a perfect game at Anfield. Will take one or two chances for the other team as long as they're not slaughtering us.Henderson put Llana through on goal right through the middle, neither Jones nor Smalling reacted to him at all.
I don't think that it means much, to be honest. Suarez didn't had a red card for Liverpool. I haven't seen Costa ever being sent off.He has not had a red card in his career yet.
He let Sturridge get away from him for the goal.
