    Class defender

    Don't care what anyone says

    If he didn't play for man Utd everyone would agree

    I agree. Man U or not.

    He's had a great season.

    Compared to Phil Jones, yes. But in the grand tradition of Man U centre halves, he's distinctly average. An okay partner for Stones, when he rolls up in the summer.

    Smalling's improving all the time, I rate him.

    Rooney was different class tonight, his passing was summat else. Top, top player.

    Derby have some very average laikers for the money spent. JB isn't one of them.

    I'm not convinced yet. Every time they go at teams he looks vulnerable. Look at Wolfsburg when they were trailing.

    He's had the bonus of having two holding midfielders in front of him & a pair of full backs that rarely venture forward

    Don't agree on Rooney. He's been mediocre to ***** all season, can't say he's still a top top player on the basis of one game against lower league opposition.

    Just as you can't say he's not a top player based on half a ***** season.

    People were willing to say LJ is a ***** manager based on 8 games. I think half a season of ***** performances is a big enough sample size to say that a player who is the wrong side of 30 and has never looked like a naturally fit bloke is declining.

    I agree

    I think stones is a very good player

    But because he's from Barnsley we are a little biased

    He had a much better season last year and that worries me

    I honestly don't think think he's good enough for England YET
