Blind was excellent but... (self.reddevils)

heyoitsmeyouknowwho が 投稿

Don't get carried away. I've seen comments saying he should start over Smalling and how he is the best partner for Bailly. Don't forget he was good last season as well until he wasn't against the overly physical and the overly pacey forwards of the league. He will be targeted just like last season by the Deeneys and the Manes of the league and will cost us points if he starts every game. He should be the primary backup CB or he should start in selective games only.

blind and smalling are 2 different players with different styles, maybe thats why?

He's a lot better on the ball and much better suited to pick a pass that's for sure. We'll miss that option at the back if he is dropped but Bailly seems confident on the ball and lets not forget how good Smalling was defensively. He was shaky towards the end and at the Euros after he worked like a dog throughout the season for us. Played the most number of minutes of all our players. Fatigue got the better of him after February but he should be fresh now and should always start over Blind imo.

I am sure Jose would select the best option we have depending on what kind of opponent we are facing.

Can you name me a game or a striker who Blind struggled against least season? Because I'm struggling.

One on one positioning or stepping out to defending he's one of the best in the Prem but he gets caught out when defending balls coming in from the wing inside the box. If he can adjust to sorting that out then I don't see why he can't be one of the best all round.

People were clamouring for Hummels but he's about as quick as Blind. You don't have to be quick to be a great player but you have to be able to read the game better.

Hes had a very good season and it looks like it's continuing , you can be fast and brainless or Phil jones his game suits Bailly more than Smalling will imo

People say this all the time yet he also had Lukaku in his pocket as well as Kane the first game of the season.

The biggest difference for me is that when Smalling makes a mistake it is Smalling having a bad day (for example at Newcastle), but when Blind makes a mistake it's him not being a good enough centreback because he is not physical and quick enough.

People need to understand that Blind compliments a Smalling or a Bailly very much because he can organize a defense very well and he is always a safe option for the defense to pass to. Smalling and Bailly are very much alike and both right footed.

Why not enjoy the competition instead of making choices beforehand without having ever seen the result of a pairing?

I sort of have a worrying feeling that we lack a leader back there in the defence. Bailly doesn't speak English perfectly yet, and I don't know if Smalling is the leader personality wise back there. Smalling - Bailly is definately the best centerback pairing we have as of today. But I believe that bringing in Fonte could be a smart move.

I agree with the starter of this thread that Blind could be weak against certain oppositions and cost us points if he starts every game. And I don't think Phil Jones could stay fit a whole season.

Blind is the kind of player Pep would die to have. His ball playing skills and passing range is awesome.
