O feck right off. Valencia to blame for the second?! Did he tell Smalling to launch himself in wildly like a twat through telepathy?!
No excuses for that challenge. He knew it as well, he's just an idiot.
Ssh, some people get angry when you suggest we need a new RB.Don't forget Right back.
Terrible way to get those cards. The first one was just plain stupid.
That first one was not a yellow. The second was rather naive.
Both cards were fecking stupid. I don't know why people are defending the second card.
Of course the first one is a booking.That first one was not a yellow. The second was rather naive.
Geez you guys sure love your knee jerk reactions.
How is blocking a keeper taking a kick like that not a booking?
It's a booking every single time.
Exactly. There is no way you can defend either card, definitely not the second.The first yellow was bad enough - the fact that he continued playing as if he wasn't already on a yellow makes it 10 x as bad.
It wasn't even subtle, or one he could pretend was accidental.
He'd simply put himself in the way on purpose.
Maybe he got a bit hyped up by the way the ref looked to be letting everything go.
Anyone saying this a knee-jerk reaction clearly hasn't been watching this dick for the last couple of seasons.
He's not dependable in the slightest.
That first one was not a yellow.
You what?
Are you even watching the game?

I can understand taking one for the team to prevent a counter if you are willing to have the concentration of a rock for the next 60 minutes against the likes of Aguero.
The second was far worse mate. Milner was headed wide, not into the box. Even if he was, you don't fecking dive in when you're already on a yellow. It's basic intelligence.The only thing you can say is that it wasn't as stupid as the first. Terrible defending, but that sort of thing does sometimes happen. The first one is inexcusable, especially 20 minutes into the match.
He can feck off as far as I'm concerned - nowhere near good enough to excuse that sort of performance.
The funny part is that it is true in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. Defending? Naive. Mental game? Naive. Thick describes Smalling the best today.An outstandingly thick 39 minutes. Leaving his team in an outrageous position, don't think we'll see much more of him for a while.

It's an open play the first one.. Absolutely nothing wrong about what Smalling is doing..
Agreed. Its always a booking and Smalling knew that.
Therefore anyone who thinks Smalling just decided to do that for no reason needs their head checked. He knew it would be a booking so that City dont break when we have the likes of Valencia on the halfway line instead of a defender.
For all we know he's been asked to break up play if our set pieces break down with our 2 CBs in the box
FFS he was left exposed by Valencia, what did you expect him to do, let Milner get into the box?
He a good CB, these things happen and it doesn't help when you have idiots like Valencia playing as a RB. People need to stop over reacting. I'm disappointed that he will miss the next game, I wanted to see Smalling and Rojo partnership develop.
This forum is ridiculous at times, before his sending off he's the best CB we have and now not UTD quality again, you lot change faces every 2 mins. Calm down and stop the knee-jerking.
Tell me when, apart from the two cards he received he played badly?
