Too soft, not a Premier League defender.
It easy to say things like that, but a I doubt there would be a better result tonight with Smalling. Probably much worse.Do Barcelona still want him? Get rid and bring Smalling back.
Playing 3 in this game helped us. Salah was not even on the pitch until we went back to 4 - 2 - 2 and shaw went off.Feels like playing 3 at the back doesnt really work for this team.
In that sense I think you’re right, but I believe it came at the expense of not having any control at the back or the midfield. Not being able to play through the press for example. But after only conceding 1 after 90 minutes (at a setpiece) maybe the plan worked.Playing 3 in this game helped us. Salah was not even on the pitch until we went back to 4 - 2 - 2 and shaw went off.
You don't go for control at anfield especially with the current squad. We were always going to do hit and run.In that sense I think you’re right, but I believe it came at the expense of not having any control at the back or the midfield.

I'd straight swap him for Umtiti with 50% knees right now if i couldDo Barcelona still want him? Get rid and bring Smalling back.
I missed the game but just watched that highlight now. He is damn lucky that goal was disallowed - absolutely criminal to be so lackadaisical with the ball.Terrible performance. The moment when he failed to kick the ball out of play with De Gea on the floor, that led to their disallowed goal, was incredible. No sign of his supposed composure on the ball today.
Very fortunate to be a regular in the team. So many mistakes since Christmas.
I wish people look at our games properly.
Best player with Fred on the pitch today.
Just too soft and not the right character.
Yeah watching the ball and cowering like he was going to get a barge on a corner was almost as embarrassing as the disallowed goal. What does he have to do to get dropped?
If Bailey is fit give him a run of games and can this softy out.
Eh no thanks.Yeah watching the ball and cowering like he was going to get a barge on a corner was almost as embarrassing as the disallowed goal. What does he have to do to get dropped?

Only because he actively tries to not engage in any tackles or duels. I could not get beat if I constantly backed off and let others do my dirty work.Eh no thanks.
Bailey is shit in the air and super rash on the ground. At least Lindelof is not that bad on the ground.
And, I am not even a fan of Lindelof.
I think he was decent. At least he does not take ages before playing a pass like his partner.
A good manager could make a good CB of him.
Like every single one of our signings since Fergie quit, he's a squad player who we paid the money of a first teamer for.
I'm absolutely expecting a bid for Tyrone Mings or Ben White in the summer. Hopefully Barca come back in for Victor. He doesn't seem suited to the PL.
Probably Harry Maguire level. Good enough for a Top 4 team, suited to the PL despite limitations. Most importantly - able to defend crosses and set pieces.Because Tyrone mings and Ben White are good or because they are squad players too?
