Why you laughing? He's spot on.
Completely agree - Shakes isn't the best going forward but does the things that most people don't notice when we defend. Never leaves Smith exposed and this must be part of the reason for Smith's form this season. A good team has good partnerships - in the centre of midfield, up front and at centre back. Tje partnership between full back and winger is equally important and Smith/Shakes works.
