He is better on the ball than he gets credit for, often plays some passes between the lines, he only hoofs it when he can't control it

He hoofs it a lot. I don't think he is a quick thinker on the ball and runs out of time to decide where to pass it so just hoofs it. It isn't a tactic because Jones looks to play out.
He does hoof it a few times but he is fine overall. Smalling is a brilliant defender but his ability on the ball is really bad
TBH, ive been happy to see him hoof it a few times cos some of our other players are losing the ball right on the edge of our own box when Spurs have 8 players in our half.
Playing him in his proper position is helping but fair play to him, making himself undroppable. Two footed challenge last week aside, hes been brilliant. Like a new signing (at a time we desperately needed it).

Played really well today, he's given Kane very little to work with.
he's done two people's job today.
Aye, he's flourishing this season.
Superb performance. Covered for Darmian & defended very well had naked. Well done to him.
All of a sudden our best defender
Jose has done a magic job with him.
From horrific to pretty damn respectable

Bullied Kane, and his distribution is good.

Beastly performance
Beast!
MotM for me. He dominated whoever he came up against. He's been brilliant the last month or so.
Naked?
Hope he lets Kane out of his pocket to go home to London.
He was very good today, hardly put a foot wrong.
He was magnificient today
He destroyed Kane today.
what is this?
Not your biggest fan Marcos but damn you have been good lately. Good on you!
Sometimes it takes time to get (LVG-ism alert) "match rhythm" and confidence in your role and centre back partner.
Looking strong, committed and playing smart.

MOTM performance for me.
Let's hope people will finally start giving him the credit he deserves and not just judge him for his performances at LB.
He wins everything in the air.
Most improved player this season?

Oooooh, it's Rocky Rojo!
Thought he was MOTM
Playing like a man possessed
But still would prefer to see jones and bailly as the partnership going forward

Absolutely. Was atrocious last season. Very good today.
He was man of the match if not for Mkhi.
Man of the match today.
I wonder, is this just a purple patch or has Jose somehow unearthed a good CB in there?
A beast today. Anything that came near him was off back the other way in a heartbeat as if he were a skunk to the ball. I'd have him alongside Mkhi as MOTM.
Brilliant Center back.
I had no idea how he was playing professional football for United last season. Didn't rate him as a footballer.
Seems like he has turned into a different player under Jose the last month or so. He's been solid, and more confident in his decisions which is what has made the difference, IMO. Good reliable option in defence. Whether or not he can remain consistently good is another question, but I'm very pleased to see him do well.

His best game since the Derby last season.
His performance improved once he switched to the current stupid mess he calls his hair.
My man of the match. He was amazing.
4 goals in 6 games since he's started at CB - one a penalty. In all honesty, our defense has barely been troubled by Arsenal, Everton and Spurs.
Marshalled Kane with relative ease, really.
