But you once told us Jones is our fittest defender - why are you now attributing his cluelessness, mediocrity & lack of football sense to injuries??

Van Persie was even worse playing for the U-21. Same with Falcao.

A player returning from a long term injury doesn't over stretch himself in an U-21 game. It just to get fitness. Rooney was average in U-21 game, but a week later he was man of the match in a senior game for us.

Truly, if you isolate the games Jones play in the CD for us last season, you would see a very good defender. He out performed even Smalling in some of those matches like the one against Stoke (I think it was Stoke on a winding day and the flight of the balls were hard to time, but Jones did well against taller opponents.)
You should ask yourself why he was shut out of the 1st team even after his injury, dude has been shyte.

The only way that would make him a good defender is a brain transplant, maybe with Blind. Would also help him in staying fit.

I just pray Phil Jones goes injury free for one season, you guys will turn around to praise him. Two seasons ago, most people said Smalling should be sold because he was always not fit and not consistent.

Jones is a great central defender. No doubt for those who know football. The coaches know this.
I just pray SAF would come out of retirement and we would immediately go back to dominating EPL and UCL.

Lol. With all due respeck please Shet Up!!

Firstly how can I jump on the side of others when I was the 1st to raise the point before anyone else after the match? Did you just feel something move within your skull? Good.....



Phil Jones argument has been here for more than a year. Stop making it look like you started it yesterday. Your skull lacks originality.

funlord:


Then secondly You asked me that you were not sure that the "marcos rojos" rumors were true, I gave you a link to read about the latest transfer rumors as regards "rojo" and then you immediately remixed it into the fact that the link has nothing on "phil jones?" Was it "phil jones" rumors you were doubting or "rojos"? 2nd movement just occurred right? Nice...........


So you actually think transfer Rumours are to be taken serious? You cannot assume Rojo is up for sale until he or Mourinho says so. Again, your link was a link to numerous unrelated stories/links, why can't a grown man like you give a specific link?


funlord:


Then thirdly you tried to tag me as a follower after I decimated all your delusional points in one take? Is that how you hope to attract sympathy from rival fans or _butt munchers! Classic followers tactic ehn?



You are a follow follow. You lack originality, even now you still write like a follow follow. You claim you dedicated my point when you could not even quote correctly and couldn't bring a specific link to support your point. I couldn't read your post because it was haphazard. I only click on the link you provided.


funlord:



Lastly you seem bitter and pained that everybody always opposes what you support? DON'T YOU WONDER WHY THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE? You should you know?



Me bitter? I always win at the end. The beginning of last season I was told a better right back had come and Valencia should be sold. Before long, Valencia had displaced Darmian as first choice right back. When Valencia and Phil Jones were fit we were keeping clean sheet and forcing oppositions to limited attempts at DDG. By November when they were injured, we started falling from joint league leaders with Leicester to mid table. It took the return of Val to gain stability at the right back, but it was too late. Our attacking threats where better from the right side of the pitch and he helped us to finish well which culminated in FA cup victory. No wonder it was his speeding down the field when we were down to ten men that finally got us the winning goal.

Before Gaal came long arguments here were that Rooney, Jones, Valencia, would be the first to be sold. At the end, the players they said will make Gaal’s first team couldn't do well under him. Cleverley was to make the team with his passing. Anderson was to revive his career under Gaal. Rafael will pin down the right back, etc. So we had many bringing lengthy write up about Gaal’s philosophy and why some players will be sold immediately, at the end we know what happened.

funlord:

I know being viewed as our resident analyst is your life's ambition but don't develop schizophrenia or dementia as a result of this skewed belief in your limited abilities that you need in order to exist or live a fulfilled life bro!



What do you know about a fulfilled life? And you mentioned life ambition. You probably are still a student and have not started out in life. You are yet to take off from the starting block.

yea maybe he was good.....but not anymore! !!
he isn't reliable and that's not what a serious club needs!

I wish to see him shipped out,then he can prove me wrong!

but just so you know it; Phil Jones isn't just good enough any longer!!!...End of!!!!

He is very good (more than enough). How can you say such about a defender still under 25?

Lana1:

If Mourinho start playing him, you would still say Mourinho is living in the past? You no know ball.

This is akin to what Chrisley024 and co told me and mocked me when I said we made a mistake to allow Nani go and we should buy him back in January this year. They said he was past it. But look at Nani in the Euro. He is better than anyone who could play our right wing. One of the best players of the tournament.

chrisley024:

He returned too late. It would have been an injustice to Blind.

Dadehmola:

Go back to that post. I said if you remove last season, Jones has been fit more than our young defenders like Rafael, etc.



Jones is more intelligent than Smalling, Evans, etc. That was the only reason he would play DM for SAF. Just like Oshea did for us. You need brain to function as a DM. What Jones did at age 19 and 20 at central defence is still unmatched by any of our defeders since the departure of Vidic and Ferdinand. It is just that SAF played him out of position afterwards and now he needs plenty games there to stabilize. We have to bear in mind he is still 24. A 24 years who has mostly been played out of position.

bailly must play....
and smalling is a more tidy defender than Jones. so injury or not na bench sure pass for Jones

My guy we are going into a long season. Let’s wait and see. Last summer the story was 'Darmian must play, he is a natural right back... Look at his pre-season, Great! Great!! Great!!!'

So far I can see Mourinho has played Eric on the right side of the CD in two games, same place Smalling plays. He played Jones on the left in two games, Blind on same left side. Rojo on same left side. I will wait for the remaining pre-season to understand more. Don’t forget again, it is a long season. The one that started might fall out of favour.

One needs intelligence to play DM. Some passing is required too. It is absurd to say someone who played DM for SAF over two seasons, and against Madrid is not intelligent.

Put a player like Mascherano in the equation. Martinez too. I only used a weak/poor Oshea as an example to show how intelligence kept him in top flight football for many years where he should have been a league 2 player if he were to rely only on his physical abilities. Oshea is far more intelligent than any defender in Manchester United today. The only thing he has is his intelligence, he has no speed, no physical strength.

Anyone who can play the DM is intelligent. Luiz is an intelligent guy. How many times have you seen Terry score from outside the box, curl a ball into the far corner, score freekicks like Luiz does? They mostly used their jumping power and heading ability to score from set plays or score from a rebound with their legs.
