Maybe because smallings being played out of position when Richards natural position is RB?

This is spot on, I have been saying for a while now that Smalling gets caught out with that ball played across the 6 yard line. Would much prefer him in the centre.

Richards has started really well this year.

Agreed arabmanc! Richards started as a central defender but is now a natural right back.

It's not fair to compare players when one is playing out of position!

Thanks Blueloz

Smalling is a centre back who can fill in, he does ok sometimes even does very well but it's not going to be his final position. It's not us you need to convince, try find Fabio Capello's e mail

If Smalling is a centre back why isn't he playing there instead of the present rubbish

he's done ok, playing right back for the team so who cares about england and who's better!

=======================

Fair point, I don't understand why Evans gets chosen ahead of Smalling at CB

No seriously they would both be first choice for us, our options are terrible in CM

Bebe is the biggest joke I've ever seen, he looks like rabbit in headlights whenever he touched the ball. Heck he looks like he has actually never played football let alone be a professional player.
--------------------

Mainly because Fabio and Rafael are always injured. Last season most of his games were at CB. It's just it is right now. I agree that Richards is better at RB, but then I never thought that Rochards was that good at CB. He was often caught ball watching or out of position.

Smalling is a far better center back than Richards.

Smalling is CM but is doing a job because the twins are not up to the task.

Is it not because of injuries? I think in some gams he may have been selected for his height, but on the whole is say injuries are the main factor.

Stick Richards out of position at CB and tell us he'e better than Smalling!

Well I think Fergie doesn't trust either of the twins.

I rate Richards but i rate Smalling higher

CP,their injured at the moment,you would think that they are 1st choice

What makes you think that?

Trusted Fabio enough to have him start at right back in the CL final

Trusted Rafael last season to be first choice RB until he got injured and trusted Fabio in the champs league final.

I'll just add that post to the other nonsensa you spout on here. Totally clueless about the club you claim to supoort.

Richards is certainly the better right back, there's no doubt about it, but I think it's unfair to compare him to Smalling as one is a right back and the other is naturally a centre back.

Richards is the best right back in the Premier League and should be England's right back for the European Championships in the summer, however it seems that he is out of favour with Capello so I don't think will be.

I would have Richards at right back and Smalling at right centre back for England because both are the best that England have for those positions.

It's not Capello's fault. Micah won't play as long as Pearce is still involved with England goes back to when he didn't want to play for the U21's.
With a bit of luck he may get a chance at the Euro's while Pearce is managing G.B. the Olympics

I'd ignore why CP says, he claims the twins fake their injuries during the game just so they can rob the clubs wages that provides for them plastic fool

Richards is by far the better rightback of the two.

Play him at CB and he'd probably be far better there too

It's a shame the samba hobbits are always injured. I doubt Smalling was bought as a right back.

Is this based on any logic or just club bias?
