Thought he was our best player tonight. Really he should have been on the ball far more than he was.

Anyone think it's time to perhaps give him a go in the middle of the park? He can pick out a pass better than pretty much anyone else on the side and has a high football IQ, may as well get him on the ball more. He could be a useful option in there while we are without Carrick and Schweinsteiger is lacking some legs/fitness.
Exactly, when Carrick is fit its no debate but at the moment it could come quite handy. Wait Shaw and Jones are still injured..
We're too short of defenders to let him play in there.
I'm becoming such a big fan of him. If he continues like this then I don't think we need a new starting CB in the summer, just one for extra depth.
Well that is true, but we could just about do it with Rojo moving to centre back and Young playing left back. Then if there is another injury we can always drop Blind back in there if needs be.
I must've been watching someone else because I thought he was poor. When he dallied over that free kick towards the end of the match pretty much summed up the night in a nutshell.
He did his part, one ofd the few that can say they did tonight, his accuracy over range is class.
Want to see him in midfield when Jones is fit. Thought he was good tonight, probably our best player.
I think Smalling-Jones as a tandem would offer too little on the ball against teams sitting back deep. We didn't need more confused creative play from that area tonight.
We needed Herrera and a useful, creative and mobile footballer out there instead of Rooney and 30 minutes of Fellaini.
Hes become such a good player for us. He guarantees you at least one clear goalscoring chance nearly every game. Even our so called playmakers cant do that at the moment.
What I didnt undertand is why Smalling went forward with the ball and not him, since he's much better on the ball. 2nd, he should have gone to LB and provide more there
Teams often defend against us by deliberately giving room for Smalling and not letting Blind create. PSV's performance was tactically terrific. We should have moved Blind further up the pitch to build anything after Schweinsteiger going off.
Because teams know Smalling is poor on the ball so let him have possession.
I absolutely love this guy, and I am a complete idiot for doubting him at multiple stages of his time here.
PSV were not pressing when the defenders had the ball. So it could have easily been Blind but he stayed back
Just about sums up his game last night. His over the top balls just seemed to have a consistent accuracy to them, finding their man exactly. MOTM for me.
His passing is genuine quality.
Leicester 1:1 Man Utd
Why had it taken a season and a half to get this man on corners, every fecking on is spot on.
Noticed in the last few games, his corners are absolutely brilliant. Proper pace and whip
He's a fine player. Does he job well (provided no one gets in his fecking road). Him and Smalling are comfortably the best centre-back partnership we have, despite team's overall ineptitude recently.
He's been our best crosser since he arrived, he'd probably do a good job at left wing with a bit more pace.
He is just such a class striker of the ball. It just kind of fecks you up having a CB taking the corners though and with Smalling in the box too the fullbacks need to be able to cover better and today they weren't able to.
We finally moved him to take the corners. Instant improvement.
Nothing wrong with centre backs taking corners.
Genuinely love him as a player. He's class and think he could even do a great job at Barca in their defence. Just so good with his passing, and such a calm and smart player. Smalling's rightly been getting all the plaudits this season, but he's also been consistently excellent. Also he's very much a leader type as well. One of the few who actually tries to play some forward passes into the forwards, instead of just passing it sideways.
Struggled a bit at first as the back 3 looked unsure of their duties positionally and he was trying to organize, finally got to grips with the scrote though and chocked him off.
ssssshhhhhhhh,
dont curse us.
Another assist for him today wasn't it? Surprised he only has 4 tbh.
Another pretty good performance. Really like him as a player. Glad he has been put on corner duty, finally.
Love watching the guy play. Intelligence personified!
He's consistently good for us. Consistently one of our better players.
A bad Blind is still a good Blind, ditto Herrera.
Delighted to see he's popular on here.
That nonsense with the fans screaming doom about him at the beginning of the season was embarrassing. Scored one of my favourite United goals against Liverpool too.

Love Blind - his hair, his style and his girlfriend.
Hope he stays here for a long time. Very likable player, and can play several roles for us.

He's a proper mindfeck in the way that everyone hates the 'philosophy' shenanigans (rightfully so I think), yet Blind is pretty much the personification of Van Gaals actual ideas about football and everybody seems to love him (again rightfully so).
To an extent, sure. He's just an exceptionally versatile and intelligent football that would really fit into almost every type of football system. I don't think he in particular whole heartedly personifies Vangle's particular system.
Man Utd 0:0 West Ham
Another surefooted performance defensively unless he had some feck ups in the first 15 minutes as I couldn't find a stream at first. Oddly he didn't get on the ball as much as he usually does in these type of games.
Two idiotic blunders early on, but did pretty well from then on.
