It was Jones who reacted slowly and stayed in keeping him onside. OI thought Romero probably could have come out quicker and gathered but ultimately it was Jones at fault. I still think he is probably our best centre half though so i think we can forgive him one mistake.
Seriously? I can understand someone saying he's not as bad as his harshest critics would suggest but damn, this is some claim. Or do you think our CBs are all just different shades of shite?

Don't think that's the point he was alluding to.

That team have only lost to AM at home and did beat Bayern Munich, which must have been a huge shock to the arrogant bastards.

Not a great match but Jose picked a team to do a spoiling job on a poor pitch against a team of competitors.
Wasn't quite job done but I strongly fancy us to give them a hiding on our pitch
I thought we were both being a bit tongue in cheek. Though, I didn't realize they gave Atletico Madrid a beating.

Jones is a good CB but not the smartest. Bailly has the most talent imo.

Bailly
Jones
Smalling
Blind
Rojo

The problem is theres no clear best for me at the moment but EB could become a star.

Awful pitch and an awful game which contribute to it being a really though place to go to so it was a good result and the we've got the physical options to deal with this sort of game for the most part. Hopefully get an early goal at Old Trafford and we should be alright.

Felt like a pre season game. Looked like the players couldn't wait for it to finish and get back home. Thankfully no injuries and Miki back playing is crucial to our success.

What a contrast of two matches and two teams. I watched Barca vs PSG on Wednesday night and then Rostov vs ManUtd on Thursday night. The difference in talent is just so immense.

Very good result, we went and scored an away goal and that was probably the most important thing. Disappointed to concede the way that we did, people slagging off Phil Jones after one mistake is a bit OTT but then again the caf wouldn't be the caf without the idiots.
Agree, it's not like he makes at least one mistake per game. Isn't it?
