He's proven himself to be a good squad player. I'd probably never play him at left back against anyone decent as his lack of pace let's him down but he is a very positive addition to our side when he plays so he's won my respect ✊
He's not good at LB, but a decent back up at CB
If anyone is going to replace Carrick its Blind
Such an intelligent player. Smalling has struggles more without him next to him.
Composure , reads the game well and a great passer.

Nah, he doesn't have pace or physicality and you need one of those to be a Jose CM
The best thing LVG ever did.

3. Buying Blind.
I'd like to see him in CM... But Jose doesn't seem keen

But he has the pace and physicality to be a Jose cb? What terrible logic.
Carrick also not one with great pace or physicality. So exactly as I said, if anyone is to replace Carrick, its Blind.
Very good CB to be fair. Bit harsh he was demoted to 5th choice for a while after starting the season there

I don't think Jose necessarily sees Carrick as his type of CM going forward nor Blind
I guess we'll find out what type of CM he buys this summer
He was great tonight. Such a good passer of the ball and reads the game so well.
I'd have Blind at CB before Jones or Smalling anyday. Even Rojo. Just need to make sure his partner is the right one.
Jones is a curse. Needs releasing if we can't get any money. If he's not injured, he's injuring team mates.
Blind hasn't played in the centre for a good 18 months now, and that's including the national team. He's clearly best when he plays in defence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've defended Jones but enough is enough. This season should be his last chance. Again missed more than 50% which isn't good. We'd probably still get rid of him and bring in Keane for only a small loss.
Blind was really good tonight. He's not played that well this season, though. Still a fan, I just don't think Mourinho is and can see him leaving soon, sadly.
It's a shame we've not seen more of him in midfield. Especially given we've had that lanky, Belgian streak of piiiiiiiss playing there.

One of the most annoying sights in football is Fellaini with his face full of stubble holding his hands out to the ref in another "What? Who me?" moment where the opposition gain a free kick
I genuinely hate watching him play football. Though when he pulls off something resembling skill I do burst out into laughter. That chest and backheel to Valencia earlier had me in stitches.
Quality player... And seems to have an excellent attitude as well. Was one of LvG's favs and one of the few that spoke out publicly in favor of the manager. But despite seeing limited action this season he's been zero trouble and a model pro.
With Rojo's improvement, we really have some high quality CB's to call upon next season.
Letting Blind go would be highly daft, but much stranger things have happened...
I'm huge blind fan but he's had a poor season. By the standards I've come to expect from him. Hope he stays however
Blind hasn't been great at LB this season. No one has. Also hasn't played DM for a while and didn't pull up any trees there. He's a quality CB though.
Agree with Dazza here. Groot did my head in again. He just isn't a midfield player.

He played well tonight. Won plenty of headers, broke up play and did the simple stuff well.
Him, Herrera and Pogba make a good midfield three and their win record suggests that.
