Lol yeah Moyes doesn't understand that Valencia is WAY better than Nani. He does everything when he plays from defending to attacking.
Well Nani is the best player in the world now. I can't wait until they start talking shit about him too. United fans are so fickle.
Now if Rueda can figure out how to use him as a center mid fielder for the seleccion... http://soccerly.com/article/VanjaBojanovic/antonio-valencia-is-the-fastest-player Top 10 Fastest Footballers: http://www.ftbpro.com/posts/ian.ste...p-10-fastest-footballers-in-the-world-2013-14
It wasn't much of a surprise to me. I believe he was even faster before his leg injury. Imagine if they were getting paid for how fast they ran ? million per mph ...
^ do you have the citation or FIFA link that says what you're claiming? there are like 100 sites on the internet that say it's fact. http://www.arsenalnews.co.uk/fifa-a...g-of-the-top-10-fastest-players-in-the-world/
I like to see him net those kinds of goals- super easy if taken with a cool head and a killer instinct. We need to see more of this on the seleccion, and then we're unstoppable. Poaching is a big quality that we're lacking.
Ugh. Valencia didn't have such a good game and it's he was out shined by that young kid again on the right wing. Valencia has being figured out by all defenders it seems. What he does he does it well, but he just doesn't have that magic to evade defenders anymore. His crosses are super inconsistent. Not a good way to start the year. No wonder they keep trying to out him at RB.
I thought he started very well but United has no ability to attack down the middle so Rooney has to drop deep which leaves nobody to attack the box. All of United's attacks went through him but he didn't have a lot of help and nobody else was creating anything at all. After 30 minutes of dominating and no goals I knew it was trouble. I agree he lost his man on their 2nd goal, that wasn't good. RedCafe is really eating him alive right now but I'd like to see what else United can try, right now they are lacking quality all over the field especially in the middle which puts a lot of responsibility on the wingers. They need to spend in January, otherwise they will be out of CL next year and things will spiral downward since top players want to be on CL teams and I could see guys like Rooney and Van Persie getting offers.
I agree. Lots of players peaked and others just shouldn't be there anymore. If they want more of an immediate result, they are going to have to pull their wallets out in this transfer window.
He could have had 3 assists if they had actually capitalized from his passes. And F redcafe they are out of their minds. United only know one way to attack, and it's pelotazo to Valencia and then cross it.
My only concern is that Valencia gets dropped and loses match sharpness over the next 6 months. That would be worst case scenario. As you guys mention, it's total BS because he is NOT the problem. He's getting a lot of blame because the team's strategy relies on him a lot. Even Ecuador doesn't rely on him that much, of course we are much better with him than without. Get a good pair of central midfielders and you'll see Valencia with a lot more time and space to create from the wing.
He did a very good job on the wing. When it came to right back is when he suffered. Bad tactical move on Moyes part. He should of left him playing wing. He should continue to start.

Wtf is going on with Valencia? Dude is pissing me off the way he is playing. Terrible crosses! Even the announcers are saying he is playing poorly. Ugh. Looks scared. What happen to that Valencia that use to take on people?
Valencia isn't going to carry the entire team on his back. The way Manchester plays, you're not going to see the Valencia you're imagining. This is the worst Manchester. Awful playing. The Liga de Quito of right now that is under formation I honestly think could have a chance of getting a positive result against this Manchester if they played lol. That's how deep in the sh*t hole Man. United is. So don't ask for much from Valencia. That entire team needs to improve for Valencia to exhibit his best futbol. That defense makes the most amateur mistakes. Not even the kids in LDU this season that got promoted make some of the stupid mistakes Manchester United makes in defense.
