Just to add to that: I've seen enough of Smalling at RB. Doesn't offer enough going forward and was very reluctant to cross the ball against WBA which isn't surprising. Rafael is out for 10 weeks with a dislocated shoulder, Rio is out for a month and a half, while Vidic will be fit for next weekend. So I'd go for a back four of: Fabio-Jones-Vidic-Evra. Agree Paulinho, was absolutely horrified to see Evans come on ahead of Jones.
