The Smalling question
Mike has become a cracking defender under Van Gaal but suffers brain farts and has the distribution skills of Fellaini - he'll never change.
Daly Blind has also blossomed despite suffering from chronic slight frame. What's the solution? Surely Huth and Morgan aren't better footballers than Mike, but that didn't stop Leicester winning the league. Do we want to be Leicester though? Will they be ok in Europe with defenders like that? I think Louis is on to something and deserves immense credit for what he's trying to achieve. We need a better Smalling.... |

He's had a good season. One of the very few who can look back on this year and be happy with how they've played and what they've brought to the team.
Incredible how far he's come the last 18 months, he was finished under Moyes and had a poor start under van Gaal but since the City red he's been good and deserves credit for turning his career around. Is he good enough? Who knows, depends on the manager, ambitions, type of game he's asked to play and wherever he can stay fit but he'll be given the chance. Add a quality CB next to him and lets see what they can do. |

Blind isn't good enough to be a mainstay in the Carrick role, or perhaps he is under realigned expectations. Squad player for me and a good one at that. I think Smalling is good enough but needs a strong partner in his ear. A top quality defender in the 29-32 age range wouldn't go amiss right now. |

I'm still confused as to how pairing Smalling with an experienced centre back will stop him from being shit with the ball. Unless he's banned from bringing the ball forward. |
