The first one was very stupid, really idiotic, the 2nd one, also stupid but not so.

The second was just as bad. Sure it happens if you don't have a yellow but already being on a yellow, diving in like that in that situation? Just pure stupidity.
He most likely single handedly cost us getting something out of that game.
Been looking forward to this all week and this donkey not only fecks up potential points but the whole spectacle.
We was playing well up until his sending off.

I've been thinking for a while we may need a blood sacrifice to sort out those defensive injuries, give the fecking idiot a spoon and let him do it himself I say.
Its more believable that he got bribed/paid to do this instead of thinking a player at a top club can be this goddamn stupid
That will significantly dent his career here. Not being knee jerk but the defenders at the club are walking a tight rope.....
Dock him 2 weeks wages for poor performance

I can't believe that there's still some posters that can see him reaching that very early potential. It's just not going to happen, he's regressed and is a complete liability now.
We should have bit Wenger's hand off.
Livid at him right now. It's a big derby game. It calls for cool heads and composure. He showed none of that and he directly cost us the game today. There was no need for that first yellow. Surely he had the common sense to realise what it could lead to? He was gonna have to put himself into more challenges in the rest of the game and give the ref decisions to make.
But i'm sure he'll feeling worse than any of us right now. Luckily for him we're losing central defenders all over the place. He has a chance to get back in the team and earn some redemption. A good performance last week has been forgotten due to his horror show now. He's gotta give thanks to our other players and especially De Gea for giving us a fighting chance at points we had no right to.

Another 2 weeks for being fleeced by James fecking Milner. That itself is a bookable offence.
And use it to compensate every United fan who paid to watch the game.
how is that even possible to be done for pace by Milner?That's Smalling all over. He IS a talented lad but he doesn't have the concentration to play at the top level. Be surprised if we see him start another game this season. Brainfart extraordinaire.
He's not shit - he's just aint got a patch on Rio or Vida & thats the standard we need..
As for today - he cost us any chance we had of giving City a game right to the end & winning it. But in saying that, we did very well in tryin to get the equalizer, only for Di Maria piss-poor crosses from set-pieces. Fellaini had a great opportunity also..
Stupid mistakes. The knee jerk reactions will want him gone but he is our best defender IMO. Made an uncharacteristic mistake and unfortunately it will cost him dearly I imagine.
He has better concentration than any of our other CBs. You can count the number of times he's let us down on 2 fingers, unfortunately one of them is today so here come the hysterical posts
At RB he's made mistakes, at CB he makes less than any of our other options
The only 2 cb's I have any faith in are Evans and Rojo. We should just cut our losses on Jones and Smalling, both are too rash and haven't got a brain cell between the two of them.
The second yellow was even stupider than the first one.
I'm one of Smalling's bigger fans but two braindead moments have cost us. There's just no excuse. Not unlucky, just fecking idiotic. Fuming with him.
He's fecking 25 and still cannot get his shite together. 2 yellows within 10 minutes is so fecking dumb.
Two stupid yellows.
I can't wait to see him and his "dog ate my bollocks" face out of the club soon enough. How do you manage to be brain dead twice in 30 mins?
Get Smalling, Jones and Evans out of the club. Another week, and I'm saying it yet again
Evans?? He has had at least 3 brainfarts this season, same category of the other two.
I hope he comes out and apologises for that first yellow card. Utterly stupid and let the side down.
I think back to the derby game in February 2011. Memorable most of all for Rooney's scissor kick winner. But Chris Smalling started that day as well, and I remember being hugely impressed by him. Didn't put a foot wrong, and looked a real prospect.
In 2011/12, I also remember him being comfortably better than Jones as a centre half.
May well have cost us the game today, but let's not write him off just yet. Still has the makings of a good Premiership defender, and could easily go on to be as good as or better than a Gary Cahill (currently getting games for a brilliant Chelsea side).

Let us down today. Sheer stupidity. Real lack of intelligence and couldn't control his emotions at all.
Cost us the match. Simple as that.

He's a complete clown..
Not the first time he's done something stupid, on or off the pitch.
The stories about LVG willing to let either him or Jones go to Arsenal in pre season, shows that they are walking a tightrope as it is. Utterly stupid to do be doing that

Evans has proven himself at the highest level, if he's match-fit he is our best cb in my opinion.
And he has also proven that he isn't leader and that he needs one next to him, he has been comfortably worse than Smalling. This is Smalling first major failure as a match, Evans has had 2/3 of them at least this season.
His challenge might have been understandable had it been 0-0 after 80 mins but in the first half it was ridiculous.
The story was that he was completely unwilling to do that, actually.
Wasn't the sending off the first in his career?
Isn't it his first ever red card?
It was stupid but like rooney a few weeks ago our players really do get destroyed on here at times

He's hasnt even played a game & a half to remotely call it "lately" for Christ sake man.
What Smalling did today, is the type of shit that players do when they're on a bookies payroll.
Evans can pass and control the ball, something that Smalling struggles with. I've seen Evans looking dominant in CL latter stages against sophisticated teams like Mourinho's Inter, Smalling on the other hand, well you can tell he was playing non-league football a few years ago.
I read that he was willing to do it but, Jones and Smalling didn't wanna move.
Either way, it changes nothing. The defenders have been walking a tightrope, with the exception of Rojo, all season. What he was doing today, I'll never know.
There is quite literally no decent excuse for it
No chance. The 2nd was a genuine challenge for the ball, and he'd been sold up the river by Valencia running after anything that moves. It was late and clumsy, but it was a dangerous attack. They were in behind us.
The first was utterly needless, and is something a player is always booked for. No player ever gets away with it, so why even try?
