Obligatory selfish Rashford moment.
Shaw's passing has been terrible tonight. Worry slightly if you don't keep pressure on him, he slacks a bit...
You can't put it all down to Valencia, we just haven't been good enough as a team.I encourage you to observe Valencia for as long as he lasts in that 2nd half. And how predictably we attack down the left.
I guessed sarcasm JPI'm way too subtle.

Well he’s got by the last 5 years getting picked every week doing it, as well as being rewarded the captaincy - why change a winning formula?Is there some reason Valencia isn't running?
Valencia unfortunately is past it. We can get the stats after the game, but
He's finished, and he's costing us this game. If he starts, he'll continue to negate our attacks and defensive structure. He's 33, it's hardly surprising that his legs are gone.
- He forced our CBs to play further apart to make up for the space he was leaving behind
- He barely made any runs forward for fear he'd get caught out. I remember seeing him come back to the halfway line ( in line with Lindelof) when we had the ball just outside their box
- Mata was playing more centrally as he couldn't depend on Valencia for a pass or run
- Herrera was spotted a few times in RB (more than neccessay as Valencia couldn't keep with his man)
- any pass forward was a simple 10 yard pass. He never attempted a cross
Nailed on to score now. After being permitted about 5 yellow card offenses, because Mariner likes it tough.Voldemort coming on.
