Obviously i expected Fabio/Rafael to fight it out for the right back position as they both are good players, still maybe question marks over there defensive capabilities.
Smalling though was immense today, great defender and he's good at going forward as well - i just wonder if he will start against West Brom at right back?

Smalling at Right Back

It was encouraging to see. I was worried we might be a little short at right back with O'Shea and Brown leaving, but Smalling look's as if he could play anywhere. He reminds me of a young Paul McGrath

Think it'll be a rarity, probably just played today as City are a very big team.
Loved his run down the flank with the little back heel to get past the defender. I'll say it, he's got good feet for a big man.
