Antonio Valencia - Part 2, Man. United

I so want that haha... although I'll wait till it has the #7 and his skin a bit darker lol... that action figure is practically white hahaha.

Van Persie going to Manchester United :O, what position does he play again?

at half time: two assists for Valencia in the game vs. Chile ... Ecuador 2 Chile 0
Mina and JAyovi scored the goals

United bought a player from Vitesse. I'm wondering if they've seen Ibarra play.

From ManUnited website: Sir Alex reveals Valencia’s injury isn’t serious and Chris Smalling should return after the international break http://bit.ly/Q7xhUr - Check out all the latest team news from the boss ahead of tomorrow’s match.

Has ankle injury, may not play against the Spurs.

Yea I'm watching the Man U game right now and Valencia is not plating because of his ankle. And let me say this they suck balls without my boy AV27 in there.

He did. The commentator also said he believes AV should be getting more minutes.

he's had some good games this season and started just about every match besides the 2 or 3 he missed before the past Qualifier date b/c he was injured. He had a good game against Chelsea, especially the first 30 minutes or so. But when Chelsea started dominating there wasn't much he could do b/c Chelsea had Manchester suffering in defense. I don't think there's much to worry about. Valencia responds well enough on the field to not spark up any concerns about him losing his spot. He has these little moments every season. And honestly, no offense but who's his direct competitor? Nani? lol not a thing to worry about.

Sir Alex Ferguson blames Nani for Manchester United's cup exit to Chelsea

Yeah I don't think Valencia has to worry too much about Nani taking his spot.

Valencia is a class player
!

Valencia is losing it! His season has not started, no goals, 2 assists, and he rarely finishes a game now. When Nani and Kagawa come back and hit form, I say Valencia is in some trouble. Not to mention, he is so quiet for Ecuador too.

I agree! He hasn't played well at all. I think the #7 is too big for him and his injuries are starting to catch up. I think he should have tested a lot longer. He came back way too fast.

Maybe he is feeling the pressure cuz he is always getting hurt and wants to show his worth but seriously Nani and Kagawa are nearing fitness so he will have even more competition.

He's been injured for a while now something with his back! He wasn't suppose to come back when he did, but since it was against City .. He rushed it! Nani is on the market and looks like he's on his way out in January. United are looking to replace Nani with another winger! And as for Kagawa he gets used as CAM (central), I haven't seen him on the wings(and he's been out since the beginning of the the season which is his first) ... Young just started playing well, after being out of form for a while!!! AV needs to take some time off to heal....honestly a number isn't going to affect his physical play at all.. maybe mentally and that's not the issue! He's playing hurt

How was he today? Seems he is still not finding his best form.

Did a reckless tackle and should have seen a 2nd yellow.

I think he played much better but still made so many mistakes. He doesn't strike to goal when he should and he doesn't pass when he should. I think that ManU's right back situation is terrible. First it was Rafael and that was working fine, but now it has been like 3 different players. Today he literally had to work as a right back and wing by himself because Smalling sucked ass.

Also that tackle was really really bad. I don't think he did it intentionally, but he had to defend so much the right side. He kept sliding left and right cause if be didn't it would leave it wide open. He seriously needs help there because be can't do it all by himself. He gets double teamed the whole game because there is hardly anyone with him. When there is he connects with beautiful passed and creates great opportunities for goals.

Even still, he works his butt off for 90+ minutes defending and attacking. Once he gets a better player on the right back, like Paredes in the NT, Valencia would be more free to attack and create plays.
