How many times does he need to demonstrate that he's our best defender before it sinks in?
I couldn't give a flying one about his passing, because the gap between him and the rest of our central defenders is huge. Defenders defend, first and foremost.
This. In one on one situations today Smalling was superb. He is clearly a level above any other centre half at the club. Much like Rafael things Smalling did when he was younger have made a lot of people think he's not up to it. They stick with the impressions they had of him under Moyes or whatever, when in fact over 2014/15 he was one of our best players.
