Just shows how grass is always greener on the other side, a shit show today basically his mistake in almost every goal and yet some people will still claim he should be here.
He was! When Smalling was 17, I’m willing to bet he was better than a 14 year old Maguire.Can we ban anyone who ever said he was better than maguire

10, 7?im still not convinced

Smalling was terrible tonight, but one match shoukd never be much to judge a player on. He’s been injured for a while and just came back.
when Smalling was 2, he was deffo better than Maguire.
maybe 4,1...
Agreed, but that’s not what I’ve judged him on. He was ‘ok’ for us, but never good enough if we wanted to be challenging again. It was mind boggling to me when people on here were claiming we’d have been better keeping him over signing Maguire
I was unsure, but Maguire has won me over. Not sure about Lindelof though. Well, I am sure, but not in his favour.maybe 4,1...

Think he would of worked well with Maguire but he wasn't getting any younger and wanted first team football, fair play to him, could have easily sat on our bench with certain other centre backs(if they are even fit enough for the bench)
No ill will to Smalling who was a decent servant, shame seeing so many shit on him.

Finally we can put all that "Smalling's our best CB" dogshit to bed. Italy was always his level. How he managed to steal 10 years at United was a joke. Probably got about 10 decent games out of him.
He was very good for a full season in 2015/2016.
Plus De Gea was De Gea(beast mode). That stupid red card he got in the FA Cup final was unforgivable and I'm yet to talk about how his stupid own goal vs Bournemouth cost De Gea a Golden GloveI can't even begin to tell you how much that season has been misremembered in his favour.
We were a defensive team, who held onto the ball most of the time, he was protected so much by LVG's tactics. It isn't a massive stretch to say that Blind was our best centre half that year.
He's been injured for most of the season and this is his second game back. He's been Roma's best defender since joining them, people here are being way too harsh just to be able to say 'I told you so'. Same sort of people that wrote Shaw off repeatedly under Mourinho.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who pines for the likes of Smalling, Evans, Welbeck, Chicharito and even Ravel back.
I’d swap Chris Evans for Jones. Evans could clearly do a job for us as a squad player. But like smalling, I’m glad he’s playing first team football and doing well.He was terrible tonight but we were also very good and he hasn't played much this season because of injury. He was a decent player for us, best defender at the club for a while (didn't have much competition granted). And he moved on and has did well for Roma.
Doubt there's anyone pining for Welbeck or Ravel, Chicharito's past it now as well. I'd swap Evans for Jones.

That's not true though. He was highly rated while he was here, and during the LvG era arguably our second best player (behind beast mode DdG). He wasn't known to make many mistakes, it was his passing some had an issue with. As a pure defender he was fine. He was the CB version of AWB, who many of our fans keep saying isn't good enough.I’m not shitting on him at all, he was ok, but he always had a mistake in him. The overrating of him after he’d left was ridiculous though
Honestly watch Cavani’s goal and it’s like Smalling actively peels off the striker he’s meant to be markingFinally we can put all that "Smalling's our best CB" dogshit to bed.

He was largely good for them last season, especially in the first half of that season. However, since then, he's been either injured or poor. And today he was calamitous. I credit Smalling for seeking a new challenge and opportunity in Roma rather than sit on the United bench for the rest of his career, however, he was no great loss for us at his age and fitness record.He's been injured for most of the season and this is his second game back.
