It can be that simple sometimes. Valencia is a good player. I've always said that and I've always liked him. He's just incredibly inconsistent. When he plays well, he plays really well. When he plays badly he's terrible.

Anyone have a decent stream for this?That's a yellow card surely?How did fletcher not get a yellow card just then???So how is he not booked for that?Not a card? He just kicked him?
This. A thousand times this.And people turn their noses up at blind and guarin
when we have them two starting games.Undeserved lead, midfield looks wank.A lot of criticism aimed at the defence but our midfield is not offering enough protection and ball retention.Keane, Blackett, Jones, Young, Valencia in defence.
Incredible
Because we all know our midfield is shitAnd people turn their noses up at blind and guarin when we have them two starting games.
Guarin is as average as they come.Blackett looks more matured than Smalling and Jones.Hold on to 1-0 in first half and we will win this. BTW the away fans at the stadium sound great. They need to keep it upFletcher has been shit. Just sit in front of the defence! Don't give it away! How hard can it be?Fletcher proving pre season means nothing.
He is past it at this level. No question. His performances last season were not a blip.I don't think either Cleverley or Fletcher would get in that Sunderland team.We're basically playing 3-3-2 with Cleverley and Fletcher in midfield.Rooney needs to be more mobile, he should be roaming across that final third, creating space. He and VP are so static, it's too easy to defend.For the first time in over 20 minutes, we're managing to string a few passes together.
Average is better than Cleverley and Fletcher have been.Is Christopher still playing?23 min
Smalling still on the pitch, looks like he is going to continue.Smalling still on, hoping it's a false alarm.keane for smalling?? how far behind is my stream im confusedWow, we look so horribly average.
They'll be gone next summer when LVG squad starts to take full shape or atleast one will be.
Also anderson>>cleverley24 min
Young gets to the byline and his cross to the back post is cleared for a corner to United.
Essentially yes!That's better Young, more of that please.Seemed to have settled nowIt would help if someone goes into the box when Young crosses.Young gotta do that moreCorner won by Young.
Believe me, Guarin wouldn't be an upgrade on either of them.It's not like watching United . I almost feel like I'm back in the 80s except we had Robson then who was better than Cleverly and Fletcher together
Fans lounge TV but it is about 2 mins behind.
We're actually playing the 3-4-2 with a false Cleverley.This system would be very effective with Herrara and Carrick as the two central midfield players.Cleverley- Status
