Spot on Wobbler, but after they get rid of Smalling

[NAG1]

Once again United can't come from behind and totally incapable of unlocking a defence.  In serious need of a playmaker.  A much as I like Mata we need someone more in the class of Ozil. Chelsea and Liverpool games now looking even bigger.  Unleash hell!

It's better than Moyes & LVG

#allthatmatters

Great to see the moral superiority United fans once had disappearing year after year as they realise their club is not more special than any other!!

Don't worry it's still there SE

Because it is still a special club, great to see the jealously is alive and well too.

Yes everyone is jealous of a team that spends all that money and then gets beat by Newcastle

He'll be missing after the next win, back after a draw or defeat and generally with the same stuff..

Nothing original in any of his posts! Set your clock on it

I'm reliable if nothing else

Chris fcukin Smalling. Jesus Christ, why does he continue to get his place? A pure and utter fuckin' dung heap!

[BennyCake]

The goal came as a result of a dive by Smalling. Not Utd standard anymore.

He never was!

Outstanding anytime I see him play.. better than Henderson?

If he had henderson attitude, without doubt.  To many games were he just has no interest

I think he looks uninterested but manages to be on the ball or breaking up attacks and not a bad passer of the ball, in fairness that's just a few games I've seen him play since he left Liverpool

Let's all blame the guy signed from Maidstone for £1.2m and make excuses for the guys signed for £89m from Juventus who was schooled by a Liverpool reject! Smalling is limited and clearly struggling in this team where he is being asked to do things he can't do, especially when partnered with Jones. Pogba is supposed to be one of the top players in the world and he's robbing his wages in terms of his effort. Souness was absolutely spot on.......no clue what to do or where to be when United haven't the ball and for all his talent and athletic ability his return attack wise is slightly disappointing. Playing Pogba in that role is so stupid it's beyond belief. Getting away with it most of the time doesn't change that. You don#t get away with it against the good teams and occasionally the average teams.

So in summary the manager is clearly failing to get his players to adapt or adapt his system to his players.

Nothing wrong with that, only what is Jose's system?

Been saying for weeks they have not been playing like a team, there is a bit of structure but a lot of off the cuff stuff also, yesterday there was no urgency until Newcastle scored, why not bring that urgency from the first whistle, dominate and create more, rather than searching for a late one, when going behind!!

I'm very keen to know what Smalling is being asked to do that an international centre back on a professional contract shouldn't be expected to have the capacity to do.

I was wrong about Smalling's transfer details above. He came from Fulham for approx. £10m. Thois doesn't take from the point I was making though.
