And Smalling doesn't have that? Both are even awful on the ball.
The only time I've seen Blind struggle is against Physical strikers, for example against Wartford etc but apart from this he's been fantastic in the centre back role and has even improve on how he deal with this physical strikers that tends to give him problem like he did today and in the England game. His reading of the game is impeccable and he's only going to improve.

Kagawa10:
Watch the Leicester vs Southampton game and you will change your opinion. Morgan has been phenomenal all season for Leicester. He's total beast, far better than Smalling.

Kagawa10:
No one is saying Smalling is an awful defender but he's quite overrated.
Let's not also forget that this is Blind's first season as a centre back and with what I've seen from him so far, he's only going to improve and become much better if keeps playing there.
Afterall, Puyol wasn't pacy nor tall in his prime. Blind just need to add on some pounds to avoid being bullied by physical strikers and he's good to go.

Kagawa10:
Morgan has been a beast all season though, just like Leicester's game vs Southampton today, he was totally a beast and his reading of the game were far better than that of Smalling!

Kagawa10:
Blind was just as good!
Get a pacy and physically built defender with good reading of the ball and positional discipline to partner Blind and see how our whole defence transforms!

Kagawa10:
Majority of the aforementioned players have all done better than him this season! Huth and Morgan are one of the reason leicester had been able to hold onto their 1-0 win for many games now.
God knows if Pep were to be our manager, Smalling would be the first out of the door, not only because of his poor ability on the ball but also for his poor positional dicipline and reading of the game.

Kagawa10:
Smalling is good at one on one tackling helped by his pace but his positional discipline and reading of the game are so average! He tends to often follow the ball thereby exposing his partner in the process, instead of standing his ground and readjusting his position.

Kagawa10:
Spurs defender (aldewalre, Vertoghen) are far better than him. Huth and morgan of Leicester are better than him, Zouma is better than him.
Even our Blind because what he lacks in pace and physique, he makes up for it with his fantastic reading of the game, positional discipline and anticipation, not to mention his fantastic ability on the ball.

Kagawa10:
LOL!
Tell me how good he's on the ball?
How about his reading of the game?
How good is his positional discipline?
His anticipation and awareness?
Just because he's a physical beast and has good pace doesn't make him a great defender!

Kagawa10:
Who says Blind isn't good in the centreback role?
I still believe a centreback who has Smalling's attributes (pace, physique and one on one defending) but also with good ability on the ball, reading of the game, positional discipline and anticipation would be better fit for Blind in the defence than the overrated Smalling.

Gmajor:
in other words am right

Gmajor:
in other words he made up his mind to take the blade when cain told him of the mark.
No bro. He already wanted the blade way before that . With magic or no magic. Mark or no mark

Gmajor:
hmmmmmm...
When dean went to collect the blade did he know about the mark ? About cain ?
He just thought that he was going to collect a weapon. Simple and short

Gmajor:
so you are trying to say that dean knew for sure that the first blade would give him powers. Thats not true.
Am sure he just thought it was something like an angel blade- It could get the work done but that was that . No super powers attached

Gmajor:
i love the lilth example you gave. What then made them think that they can just walk up to abaddon and stab her?

Gmajor:
the only person that freed Abaddon was the winchesters. They buried her pieces in various locations. So...

Gmajor:
actually, a shot any where will do the trick.
Remeber when Abaddon shot Crowley in the arm.
Even if this wasnt the case, how is it goin to be easier to stab her rather than shoot her ?

Gmajor:
she only gained conciousnes when her head was reattached to her body. This is a very effective method. Same applies for leviathans

Gmajor:
so why didnt the brothers try to shoot Abaddon wit a bullet lace with a devils trap ?
Instead the choose to opt for a blade that require close contact

Gmajor:
just look at how you are distorting history.
Dean selling his soul and the mark of cain incident are two entirely different things.
If you follow supernatural you wil notice sometin. As much a S& are heroes who save the world all the time, they would let the world burn just to save each other -no matter the price.
Therefore dean selling his soul is actually in character with the dean we know.
You also said that sam, cas and bobby talked dean out of acceptin mike. This is a very big lie. I wonder where you pull this one from.
In an episode in S5, the angel zachariah (i think) took dean to the future and showed him what wil happen should he say no to mike. When dean returned to the present he stil refused despite having concrete evidence that this wil spell doom for the world. This then led zachariah to torture him be4 some intervend and saved. Bro, this is how it happen. There was no sam or bobby in the pic doing any convincing.
Also taking the mark was really unneccessary cos the had already defeated abaddon before with any mark.
So its kinda confusing that dean should just take a mark that he does not know what it wil do to him

Gmajor:
a blade vs a gun in a duel. Which would you choose?
