We have one of the best defenses in the league, a large part of which included the two of them. They do seem prone to more memorable errors which I think is a big part of the doubtSmalling-Jones partnership
Anyone have stats on games where they've started together versus other CB partnerships?

yes indeed. that's how bad he isValencia and Young need to get their crosses in and we will be ok. Valencia especially needs to stop dicking around when he gets in attacking positions and just have a go at the full back and get the cross in.
Nuh, just being factual. You're the one who's had to suffer all season.
I know journalists get paid for their words but do you get paid for putting words in other people's mouth?
Me too.
Minus the West Brom game in which almost everyone played crap, Sanchez looked like he was picking up form again in the previous two games.
Martial didn't do enough for me in the Bournmouth game to replace Sanchez. Rashford on the other hand, laid claim to a spot in my opinion but I prefer to use him as an impact sub especially if the game drags into extra time. His energy will be extremely difficult to cope with.Lads, it’s Tottenham.
so now your my psychiatrist?What back 4 were people expecting? Valencia, Smalling and Young are undisputed first choice. Leaves one spot, Bailly was woeful against City, Lindelof is average at his very best, Jones hit and miss and i've no idea why Rojo was given a new contract but the further away from the first team the better. Not much to choose from.Anyone else have a 0 in the lineup predictions despite selecting a team? Error of some sort
You still haven't answered by question as to who you'd play ahead of Valencia and Young.The Smalling-Jones partnership does not fill me with confidence at all. I know that unfortunately Rojo seems to be out of the picture lately, but I hoped Bailly would start this one. I hope they can stand their ground against Kane.
The rest of the line-up looks very much ok. Just get a better start than last time and don´t give them so much space in midfield. I think it will be a very close game.
Me too
yahwol mein fuhrerIt was your cue to leave the conversation.
Yes, same here even though it shows I got 10 out 11 its awarded me zero points.
The away game in the league. I forgot how bad Jones was
It is assuming spurs attacking players play at their level, we have to hope they have an off day.
well Luke Shaw for starters... and as I've said all season a full back we should have bought. how can it be that a club the size of ours doesn't have them. look at what city spent on fullbacks and where it got themConceded in 1
Conceded in 14 sec against Spurs few weeks back.Smalling-Jones partnership
Anyone have stats on games where they've started together versus other CB partnerships?Hopefully today we'll be laughing at Phil Jones in a 'he just saved a clear goal while making a stupid face' kind of way, rather than laughing with depair.
Oh, I get you. Yes, midfield battle will be key.
Breathe in, breathe out. We're here for you, brother brotherSmalling and Jones, both wouldn’t be regular starter at everton...
we have to start to prayWhat I would really like is Pogba to step up. Matic and Herrera will do their dependable 7/10s, but Pogba is the wild card. The City game was the first time he really cranked it up against a big team, much like Sanchez, and I'd like to see him at his unplayable best today.
However, experience so far has shown otherwise, so I'll stick to the dispossessed counter.
Oh ok, thanks.Sure it's been highlighted already but Vorm to have a worldie?The thing that i just can't understand is this defence. Last time they killed that 4, and jose still picks the same. He is great tactician and i trust him but still....Smalling goal needed to end Spurs tonight.That's an awful pattern for Spurs' training/warm-up kit. 1-0.
It says I have zero. I got an answer from Damien though, thanks.3–0 for me. David de gea hat trick.
i think he is an excellent keeper anyway
Last time we played them it was the start of a mini rut for us. Some really sloppy defending and individual mistakes. Heard on MUTV just now that Spurs have lost their last 7 FA Cup semis. Let's hope that trend continues.
To be fair, I think Ferguson did the same thing a lot. As a way of giving players an opportunity to put things right.
Pogba is only as good as the team around him. If we don't play as a team then Pogba will struggle. We need top performances all over the pitch not just Pogba. Passing from the defenders has to be on point so he doesn't drop too deep...etc
Should be on one of the Fox Sports networks.
I was surprised we didn't go for Nelson Semedo when we were strongly linked with him last summer. Barcelona got him instead. Mourinho has completely failed to address our FB situation but he's made it seem Woodword hasn't released the funds. I dont know whats going on. I still think Young deserves to see out the season over Shaw. Not to say he's better, but Shaw hasn't shown much in his limited opportunities and Young has done more than a decent job at LB this season. Both him and Valencia need replacing this summerAlan Shearer talks some shite- Status
