They were all pretty bad, he defended the best for me.
But when teams press the midfield and they have to pass back to the defence, it's vital to have some composure on the ball and show ability to keep possession. He freezes every time, seems to take an extra second to set himself, can't pick a pass and has to make a pass back under pressure to de Gea, who'll have to kick it clear and we lose possession.
So the pressure seems non stop, when Bailly is just hoofing it like today, and Smalling passes back to de Gea for the clearance.
