Mata has that knack of creating a chance or scoring a goal even if he is not in the game. Smalling is not perfect but he is a reliable stopper who does the basics of defending well. Jones is a permacrock.
Have you ever thought that your reasoned and considered contributions are completely incongruous with the tenor of this thread?Yeah, Mata's bagged a few this season but you've got plenty of other forward options to cover for Mata (Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Martial etc). Less depth at centre half, but I've never really rated Smalling or Jones so not sure their absence will be that damaging? Bailly, Blind and Rojo (and Carrick, at a push) are no worse from what I've seen.
Rooney is finished and I don't expect anything from him, but yeah it's the perfect time for the likes of Martial and Rashford to take their chance.Yeah, Mata's bagged a few this season but you've got plenty of other forward options to cover for Mata (Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Martial etc).

Not a Jones fan but I rate Smalling defensively, it's just because of his awkwardness on the ball he gets a lot of stick IMO. We should be alright in that position though.
Also when the fuck did Jogba get injured?
I'm OK with Blind. He doesn't seem a bad sort. He is kind of frozen out though.He is their only nice player,he has resisted the bullshit
Maybe he/she is a young rag. Or an ignorant rag, but I'm repeating myself, to think they haven't made a living off of "cherry picking" domestic talent. Or they just believe the perpetual class of '92 b.s.Pallister

Lucky we never had to play against players of that caliber.
I do like the name Jogba.Also when the fuck did Jogba get injured?
