Was there reason why Smalling falled down in the pecking order?

Not the best positionally and can’t do anything with the ball at his feet. And panics when pressed or put under any pressure

His legs are basically useless

Eric Bailly of 2015/16 was the best CB we've had since the era of Vidic/Ferdinand

Tonight’s line up

 

[Legend Incredible]

Good, more pain as a United fan. We may Nick it at 1-0 ?

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

7-0 ?

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

All kidding aside. Big game for Bailly tonight imo. Especially after that absolute howler from Linderlof. Hopefully Mengi gets a few mins.

Also think Mata and DVB will be great linking up together.

Are you ******?

Are you ******?

He might as well be. Thats how United CB's are bad.

Sad but true lol. Bailly was class that first season though.

Garner starts for Watford tonight ??

And Watford is losing 2-0 against Newport.

Yep been watching bits of it. It’s basically Watford’s 2/3rd choice that started. Garner been decent. Looked confident on the ball and getting stuck in with some good tackles and interceptions.

Still no love for Dalot :/

 

[woolly]

Yep, as you need to accommodate player you payed 90m for. You would think he would lift everyone else, not needing something extra to lift him up.

Even the likes of Ronadleo and Messi need a kick up the A** now and again don't forget.

He's looking decent, thats right. Against Newport.
He really needs more playtime against seasoned players, this loan should be great for him.

Still no love for Dalot :/

I've been writing this pretty much since he played first couple of games for United. I just don't see anything in him. He's bang average at everything bar doing something unexpected like beating defender or passing the ball to opponents for free chances.

Another terrible signing that should never of happened. Think he has potential but he’s a really long way off reaching it atm. Could do with going out on loan.

 

[woolly]

7-0 ?

To Luton? Mind you they aren't exactly putting out their first team (9 changes for Luton)

I never got as excited watching someone at United defend as how I would with Eric Bailly that season. Dude was a mad man and the most complete CB we've had following Rio Ferdinand as well. Strong, quick and his ball playing ability is/was underrated.
