My 10 year old daughter can pass better than smalling whilst wearing her roller skates. I'd say Keane can pass better yeah. Anyway, take it out on Southgate, he was the one that said he wants players that can play from the back hence dropping smalling

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He can't defend though.
Because it enables us to maintain 68% possession. What we do with that possession isn't on the defenders.
He isn't. Just giving reason why Smalling not in. He is just scraping the barrel so he doesn't have to pick Chris.
Sancho isn't 100% fit.
Sancho and I wouldn't be starting Rice either - as shit as I think Henderson is at least he has a lot of experience.
Jaden Sancho.
Didn't know that. Thanks.
Think he wasn't risked due to his ankle injury.
There's nobody else fit in the squad that plays in the same position.
Henderson has definitely been carrying an injury.
Thats what I think as well. He picked Jones ahead of him ffs. Personally I think its a bit of an excuse, and then the media and fans take it seriously and run with it
For all people here........Sancho and Henderson aren't 100% fit otherwise both would start in the places of Hudson-Odoi and Rice.
Smalling can't do that 
Keane has now scored. Get in.
A wonderful decision to pick Keane.
Agreed.
Keane, of all people, lol!
Haha, good header
What is the world's best national team doing there?
Has anyone ever actually said this
Smalling can't do that
He gets the odd goal to be fair.
Set piece England back in it

Ronaldo out injured
Literally everything that can go wrong goes wrong. We should have scored 3 or 4 already, if we keep going like this we can turn this around

How tall was the guy marking him, 5'5"?
Smalling can't do that
Smalling's goalscoring record is very good. Better than Keanes
Ronaldo injured. Ajax will be happy.
Aye I know. Was just taking the piss
It's just a thing people say now.
I don't think anyone has been super confident with England since about 2006 but people still think we all think we're the best in the world.
Ffs take note of the smiley. Was taking the piss
I was convinced that had gone wide. Replays showed the drink bottle that distracted me.
Keane might not be a great defender (TBH not helped by playing for that Everton team) but I swear I saw that statistically he's the most dangerous player from set pieces in the league?
May be entirely making that up, tbf.

Agent Tadic injured him?
To be fair scoring headers is one thing Smalling definitely can do. Souhgate has backed himself into a corner when hes scraping the barrel with injuries but the point hes making is a valid one, we need to be able to keep the ball.
feck all this fancy 4-3-3 winger type shit. Lets get back to basics from last summer and the set pieces! I wanna see the train again from corners we loved a few of those last summer. Makes the opposition look nervy.

Did it look bad?
We're deadly from set pieces.
I swear the most confident thing I've heard uttered by England fans is that we're 'quite good'.

Not watching a game, tell me did we turn into ultra giga Sunday league team?
My only issue is that it feels vindictive. if its purely for sporting reasons then fair enough. I just think its harsh beacuse it's not like he constantly gives the ball away, and he could just give it to a midfielder to pass it forward. Smalling is also on great form so it's odd that his NT career seems to be over.
