Sorry, not for me.

No pace, poor decision making. Nowhere near a top centre half.

As for international appearances; Chris Smalling has played over 30 games for England which says a lot about the validity of selection for national teams.

I always thought that was his main asset. Tbf he was often alongside Merterstaker.....

Ooops, dodgy keeper alert.


Got to feel for keepers we all highlight their mistakes but outfield players can make a few mistakes and get away with it.

Saw the stats recently about the mistakes Lloris has made compared to the amount of games he's played, can't remember the exact amount but it was very few.

Keita lucky not to get a card for his high foot on Lukaku.

Yea I was surprised that Lukaku got a card for that tackle just because he was going in fast and the crowd bayed for a card , shouldn't sanitise the game so much, not every tackle should be a booking.

Keira's studs were showing also so could be argued by some that he should have been booked, not for me though.

I really don’t know what goes through Jose’s mind.
We have been shocking.

Worryingly, if you look at Utd's golf difference Utd have been shocking for months. Jose has brought in the latter Chelsea dressing room mentality to Utd. He's finished the ruination that Moyes started and Van Gaal continued.

Mid table mediocrity for several years to come if something serious isn't done.

Agree with your first bit but not your 2nd.
