smalling was absolutely fantastic

composed, brought the ball out of defence time and time again, crucial tackles and interceptions. we really do have ferdinands replacement!

 

surely man of the match

 

In a few years he'll be worth more than 10 million.

 

MOTM today.

worth 10 mil already IMO.
disappointed in the decline in jonny evans tho, he was awesome just a little while ago...

 

amazing performance, looked solid on and off the ball.

hat taken off for you christopher.

 

Evans is just having the usual second season blip. He's good enough to pull through it, and long term Smalling and Evans could be an awesome partnership, worthy of the red shirts.

 

Evans was poor last season too. I remember one particular nightmareish game against Everton away. He needs to be sent out on loan next season to get some confidence.

 

He's spent two seasons out on loan at Antwerp and Sunderland. He just seems to lack concentration and composure at the moment - every so often he seems to have a game where he just can't do anything right. I'm confident he'll come through and get more consistent over time. If he's the long term replacement for Vidic he still has time to develop his game. Meantime he's good enough as a 4th choice CB.

 

although Rooney stole it(scouse style) Smallers was ****in class today and will be a player for us in the futue. He made Tevez look ****.
