This forum overrates Jones horribly. He's always got a mistake in him, too inconsistent to be a top class defender. He's squad material at best for me.He’s been excellent all season but had a disaster today.
I don’t mind. But you only ever come in here to slate him and only ever go in the Smalling thread to attack anybody who attacks him. Agenda posting of the highest orderWhy, do you think he deserves criticism on today's performance so far? Im not the only one here who defends Smalling, just look at the thread.
Surprised he didn't try and head it.
He's made about a dozen mistakes.
He's made a mistake. It happens.
The more pressing issue is that we can't seem to score against rival teams. Jones isn't to blame for that.
This is a fair (and true) comment. One of very few we'll rational one we'll read, sadly.I’ve always voiced it as my main objection to the Jones/Bailly partnership - it is very poor aerially. The other centre half we went and bought is poor aerially too.
Again. It happens. Why haven't we scored two goals like Spurs?He's made about a dozen mistakes.
He made more than one mistake in that half.

One of their defenders hasn't smashed the ball into their own net like a dope for one.Again. It happens. Why haven't we scored two goals like Spurs?
He went with the wrong foot. Overall he hasn't been too bad aside from that.Hardly a disaster of a performance, he's looked overall pretty solid. His yellow card was never a yellow card.
Poor OG but what else was he supposed to do in that moment? He had to get something on it and it was just a shocker of a clearance.
Good defender who will be sat there at half time wondering how that has all just happened.
Smalling can win header & make clearance today like a proper defender. Jones can't, that's the difference between them in today's game. Facial expression doesn't make him better though.They are both not particularly bright. Jones is the better player though. His facial expressions are mint too
We'd need to get the ball into their box for that to happen.One of their defenders hasn't smashed the ball into their own net like a dope for one.
How is that hardly a disaster of performance? It wasn't even just the OG. The first goal was bad too. He got beat in the air, and along with Young didn't pick up the man going into space. What is a disaster of a performance? Being at fault for 3 goals?Hardly a disaster of a performance, he's looked overall pretty solid. His yellow card was never a yellow card.

Honestly, Spurs bullied the left side especially Jones looks lost and couldn't cope with Spurs's attacks. You are being very very generous for saying "hasn't been too bad aside from that".He went with the wrong foot. Overall he hasn't been too bad aside from that.

He's made multiple mistakes today, that shouldn't 'happen'.Again. It happens. Why haven't we scored two goals like Spurs?
I think Young has been the major problem on the left and Sanchez hasn't helped enough either.Honestly, Spurs bullied the left side especially Jones looks lost and couldn't cope with Spurs's attacks. You are being very very generous for saying "hasn't been too bad aside from that".
I don't rate Jones so why pretend? He did well at the start of the season and i've acknowledged that.I don’t mind. But you only ever come in here to slate him and only ever go in the Smalling thread to attack anybody who attacks him. Agenda posting of the highest order
Jones has been rubbish today.
3 goals?How is that hardly a disaster of performance? It wasn't even just the OG. The first goal was bad too. He got beat in the air, and along with Young didn't pick up the man going into space. What is a disaster of a performance? Being at fault for 3 goals?
I said I don’t mind. But you always accuse others of agenda posting. You’re one of the worst. Anyway..I don't rate Jones so why pretend? He did well at the start of the season and i've acknowledged that.
Fair enough, that's your view. Carry onI said I don’t mind. But you always accuse others of agenda posting. You’re one of the worst. Anyway..
