I've always said it, if played consistently in the right position, he can become a world class defender, in my opinion. Super performance tonight.
Him and Jones should be our centre back partnership next season.
Careful now, you might get the CAF-dictionary-police on your tail for using the term "world class" without properly defining it. You'd be much better off saying he is really, really, really, really good.
I'm starting to feel that Smalling is becoming an unsung hero for anyone not a United fan. The commentators don't seem to recognize his talent other than him being very fast and good in the air.
