[Cheesy]

Very stupid from him. I still hold hope that he's going to deliver on his potential, but it continues to look more and more unlikely as time goes on.

 

[OneUnited24]

Face it no matter what we have at the back they are all shit. Gut the lot of them.

I still have hope for Jones and Evans. Smalling i've never been confident over.

 

[FreakyJim]

Idiot.

To be fair to him though, the cretins in front of him (Valencia and Fellaini) were at fault as well.

 

[MTR]

I don't believe there were rumours that Wenger wants him.

 

[JamesB__]

About as clever as he looks. And an awful footballer too.

 

[legball]

One word, STUPID.

 

[Nighteyes]

Calm down people. I'm sure he regrets it more than any of you

 

[Robbie Boy]

It was f*ucking inexcusable and there is absolutely no defending him. Well done, Smallinh. Idiot.

 

[Scarecrow]

Is there really a rule that forbids standing in front of the goalkeeper in open play though?

 

[Winrar]

What did he do to get the first yellow? Just woke up.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Is there really a rule that forbids standing in front of the goalkeeper in open play though?

Yes there is.

 

[evra]

As I have said on many occasions, he is just too stupid to be a first choice cb for us.

 

[Scarecrow]

Yes there is.

Ok, thanks.

 

[Red Shorts]

Is there really a rule that forbids standing in front of the goalkeeper in open play though?

I was thinking this too. I know you can't do it when inside the box, but once you are outside?

Stupid second tackle. Still think he's our best defender.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

And to think... I got a load of stick in the Match-Day thread for suggesting McNair should be starting ahead of him.

I love hindsight.

 

[Ødegaard]

Evans & Smalling will never be more than backup defenders, they don't have it in them (anymore in evans case) to be reliable as defenders.
Jones & Rojo is too early to say, Jones need to fix his bloody fitness or man-marking defensive midfielder is going to be the only thing he can do consistently.

Need.New.Defender.

 

[OneUnited24]

Idiot.

To be fair to him though, the cretins in front of him (Valencia and Fellaini) were at fault as well.

I'm sorry but did they tell him to go lunging in like that? No.

He didnt have to run in like that just get close enough to stop the cross. Absolute idiot who has probably cost us the game

 

[Bojan11]

Sums him up. Plays a blinder one week and the next either injured or rubbish.

 

[Stringer]

What a clown. Most of the time he is injured and then he does that...

 

[NoWinNoFee]

What a donkey.

 

[Shane88]

Sell him and Jones. Not a brain cell between the two of them.

Such idiocy and lack of talent (on Jones part mainly) should not be tolerated.

 

[kouroux]

Can someone please explain to me wtf he was trying to do for the first yellow card ? The second made more "sense" as he was covering for Valencia who made a dumb challenge.

 

[SkeppyRed]

Regardless of the red, he isn't good enough for us.

He's not shit by any means and can be very good on his day. However a club with our aspirations should have someone with more quality than he is capable of as first choice CH. I have a similar opinion of Evans also tbh.

 

[Rado_N]

Monumentally stupid for both yellows, just really really stupid.

 

[Bestie07]

Idiot. Donkey.

 

[Shark]

And to think... I got a load of stick in the Match-Day thread for suggesting McNair should be starting ahead of him.

I love hindsight.

I said that too in the McNair thread. Smalling is rubbish.

 

[LeChuck]

He was having a good game up to the sending off.

Really disappointed by him.

 

[Man-United]

If a player should be fined, this is a good time to fine him a week of his wages.

 

[Eugenius]

FFS some of you knee jerkers. Getting a very stupid and costly red doesn't automatically mean you become shite the next week.

 

[villain]

I'm one of his biggest fans but two absolutely stupid decisions from him and it'll cost us.
But better defenders than him have been stupidly sent off, he'll learn from this experience as I hope LVG tears him a new one

 

[Minimalist]

Infuriating. No other word for it.

Him and Jones must be some of the dumbest footballers this club has ever employed.

Van Gaal will rid this clown by next summer. Not good enough for this club.

 

[Stringer]

Are players fined for being sent off?

 

[NinjaZombie]

Stupid. Both times. I've said it before, I won't be sad to see him go, with Blackett and McNair around. Has never looked comfortable in possession for Van Gaal anyway.

 

[Kag]

Unlike him. Stupid first yellow but Valencia put him in a world of shit for that second one.

Let the kneejerking commence, however.

 

[charleysurf]

Insane. Probably should have been taken off in favour of McNair after the firs yellow as he was always going to get sent off at some point after that.

 

[Devil may care]

Utterly stupid stuff from him today, not an ounce of common sense.

 

[FromTheBench]

Can someone please explain to me wtf he was trying to do for the first yellow card ? The second made more "sense" as he was covering for Valencia who made a dumb challenge.

2nd yellow didn't make any sense considering he was on a yellow anyway and it was only Milner on his left side deep outside the box he was covering. Should have shepherded him or let him go deep.

 

[Ryan7]

Absolutely thick as pig sh!t. Him and the other two blind mice are either always injured or thick. Maybe it's time to get rid of them.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Dumb idiot first booking was stupid and the second he shouldn't have lunged in. What a moron.

He's probably lost this game for us now.

 

[dirkey]

Guy is an absolute moron. That first yellow card was just retarded. Absolutely retarded. Did he honestly think he wouldn't get booked for it? Dope. Then to go and lunge in when he hadn't got a hope of getting the ball? Terrible, just terrible. Not doing much to show me he should be a long term centre back, not when I think back to the likes of Bruce, Pallister, Stam, Ferdinand, Vidic. To that list you add Chris Smalling. I'm shaking my head ruefully here.
