He wasn't, he was hyping him up because he defended well.Why was Jones so pissed off with Smailing there?

Cause he wasn't f**king switched on mate.Tbf to Shaw, I think the Sheffield United player came from outside the pitch and Shaw didn't know he came back on.
Not always a fan of Maguire, but his leadership quality is truly important to our team. Over the past few years, we have lacked a real captain who has the character to motivate and stand out for the team. It's also not the first time Shaw was caught off guard due to his lack of concentration. Mourinho had openly criticized him on a few occassions and despite it might affect dressing room atmosphere, I think he was right in some sense.
I must be a hell of a leader if swearing at people I work with constitutes leadership
Think he's geeing him up, saying well done actually.Why was Jones so pissed off with Smailing there?
You can't teach concentration. You are either able to or not. To go with his lack of brain power, Shaw is also a very average footballer. An absolute must to replace him in this transfer window.
Jones definitely has leadership quality. Unfortunately he lacks a lot of other qualities.

If I was Maguire I’d punch Ole right in the face. I mean he managed a loss against Watford in dead last. Why would I listen to him?If Maguire isn't removed as captain and dropped for next 2 games then Ole has lost it, he is just a yes man and should just resign.
I mean Maguire made a mistake against Spurs, so he has no right to shout at any of his teammates, he should just play game with his mouth shut. I mean he lost all the right to shout at his teammates to concentrate after he gave away the goal vs Spurs.
In case any one is struggling with sarcasm meter, this is one.
That was exactly at what i was driving at
Agree. Not sure if it's a manager's instruction or not but Shaw often played a safe back pass conservatively when he was high up the pitch against Sheffield. Would like to see more adventurous moves even though we were in a comfortable lead.

That Shaw should be willing to give some verbals out too when he sees something he doesn't like? I certainly agree with that, but what would giving back when he's just been at fault or even going over to create some kind of Bowyer-Dyer situation doing to help us? For me Shaw should stay quiet and focus on his game, but for sure if he sees catches Maguire half awake let him know.
It is standard stuff but it doesn't make it any less encouraging. Under LvG and Jose we had some right non-entities knocking about and none of them seemed to have any fight in them. It's why everyone seemed to focus on Herrera's tenacity and spirit - he was one of few who showed any.
I like it, especially coming from someone we've fairly recently signed and demanded to be a leader among a young team.

I hated those United teams where everyone seemed too insecure and nice to upset anyone. Obviously nothing's then going to be achieved of note.
He did. Ridiculous to allow him on at that point at all. All a little harsh on Shaw I think.Tbf to Shaw, I think the Sheffield United player came from outside the pitch and Shaw didn't know he came back on.
Mainly just the ability to remain unharmed.
When he is match sharp he is a top defender. People forget that because he hasn't had a run of games in years.
They should just say feck this and replicate this.
Absolutely. Ferdinand is the best example.Strange, I think concentration is one thing you can teach. You can't teach players to be like Messi - that requires pure talent, but mental attributes can be improved I think.
I if said guy wasn't backing up what he was screaming at me, I just saw him as cnut.
Because he lost an easy situation and then proceeded to make a penalty (not sure if give). God i don't miss these two!Why was Jones so pissed off with Smailing there?
Yeah he is a bit shite sadly. LB will need fixing in the summer.We can get away with Shaw whilst we have other transfer priorities but we do need to improve our left back. He's out of position a lot and if teams did target him they would find a lot more opportunities like Mourinho. Whilst the majority of teams are putting more emphasis to improve their right wings with Ziyech, Bernardo, Traore, Bergwijn, Pepe etc. he will get caught out by players who are simply smarter than him. Had he at least had some attacking capabilities to make up for it, that would at least pin the opposite flank but he doesn't really offer much on that front either. Unfortunately he's never looked like he wanted it enough.
Actually its great, we get to see those people who know absolutely nothing about football or any sort of competitive team sportCan't believe this is a thread.
Yeah i think whoever played the pass should have got the talking too, too soft of a pass considering he can see behind Shaw.Tbf to Shaw, I think the Sheffield United player came from outside the pitch and Shaw didn't know he came back on.
