Smalling and Blind is our only CB partnership in recent years that seemed to compliment each other, both could play on their preferred side and their strengths covered for the weaknesses in the other. It was still imperfect but given how Mou is focusing on the lack of passing quality from the back it seems rather strange that he refused to give Blind a chance, who for all his issues is an excellent passer of a ball.

Very disappointed in Bailly in the last 2 years, really thought we had something special on our hands if he continued to develop but he hit a poor run of form towards the end of his first season here and has never looked close to the same player. Perhaps we over-hyped him due to his appealing style and personality.

Don't trust Rojo at all, Lindelof looks out of his depth, it is Jones and Smalling as much as that may frustrate.

Villa supporters would probably say yes.

I know you hate Rojo pal but is Jones really the better player now? I held onto hope for Jones but it seems a car crash every game now.

Jones ffs. Might as well come on the pitch as a hapless window cleaner from a silent film, carrying a ladder around whilst one foot is in a bucket. The £#%&!ing giant @#%&!.

This is Rojo's 5th season at Utd and in that time he has had maybe 4 months of looking up to it. I can understand that people have given up on Jones but he was actually fairly good last year for the most part, maybe he is finally done and has to be moved on but he had more competent games last year than Rojo has had in his Utd career. Even less injury prone in comparison, hard as that is to believe.

So 2 months on do we know the answer?

I seriously hate jones to the point where im not sure i could control my anger if i ever came into contact with him.

If millions of people sign a petition for him to leave would he go?
