That has nothing to do with your point. You said that all his best performances have come in midfield, which simply isn't true.


The 2 points coincide with each other. Just because he can't pass the ball like Xavi, people think he isn't good enough to play in midfield. He was excellent in the first half today, against one of the best midfields in the league.
 
Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling. The future of CB is bright.
 
Brilliant both in CM and CB. Future captain.
 
And some people were laughing when Fergie said that he'd be the very best, he's been absolutely immense today, both midfield and defence.
 
I think he's going to be a CB, but we missed him so much when he had to leave central midfield. He was so crucial there in our first half performance always getting to players like Ramsey, Cazorla and Ozil in the space between midfield and attack where they do all their best work. That was the best example of a central midfielder snuffing out danger from our midfielders this season, Fellaini should take notes
 
Was best player in first half in midfield and probably best player in 2nd half in central defence

Spot on.
 
What a player he needs to be in the team. End off!
 
Did really well. I feared for him after the yellow card and position change, but he handled it well. Really disciplined work.

Yes, that's true, but spacial awareness is still lacking. He has potential to grow in role, but he shouldn't be considered as a CM regularly. It's a weird one because he does well in the big games as a CM.
 
A beast.

Safe to say that Arsenal's midfield were probably pleased when he was forced to move back into defence.

If Hodgson can't find a place for him at centre half then he should use him in midfield against Germany for one.
 
Fantastic performance, especially considering how composed he was in the second half with a booking to his name.

Greatest Human Ever indeed, all of us should aspire to be more like Phil.
 
He has the drive we lack so often. Great to see someone running from midfield. He certainly has his use there
 
I don't think I've ever seen a player play that well in two different positions over 90 minutes. Truly outstanding performance.
 
:devil:

Seeing him dominate a quality midfield like that makes you wonder where his future lies. Certainly, some of that brute energy goes to waste at CB.
 
He's Phil Jones.

I can give no higher compliment than that.
