    Yes, agree. But the FA isn't powerful enough to make bigger changes. What Ugo said in an article the other day would be a good start. A way of "England" playing throughout the age groups. At least then the players who came through the younger set-ups would have a clue about what was going on on the pitch regardless of the set-ups they play with week-in week-out at their clubs

    What was the last game that Smalling played, though? Seriously. I may have missed it, but I can't remember him kicking a ball for ages.

    He played most of the Community Shield (sub for Rafael early on), but who has played much two games into the season?

    Didn't he miss a massive chunk of last season, too? Can't remember him being involved much.

    Smalling is poo. He's like a worse version of Phil Jones and he doesn't even have the comedy face.

    Didn't Utd spend an obscene amount of money on him? Something like £13m?

    Yes, injured at the start. Played 22 games in all comps.

    As long as he gets hacked down in the area in the previous half and only gets a free kick it'll be acceptable <ok>
