and to think rafael cant get a game 
He's not been good today, but good to see that people still are going overboard with their criticism.
Good enough for a squad player. Not good enough if you want to win anything of value.
Of all the days to peddle the 'he's hard done by' line you pick today?
It's all very well saying he can do a job but he's cost us countless number of points this season. Of course we need a fecking right back. It's a priority position. He can do a job but it's the basics a right back needs to do he's struggling with, case in point, the third Everton goal.
Nope, just that people are much too harsh - he's been at fault for two goals, arguably, and thus he hasn't been any good, but brainless fecker and whatnot is just a bit over the top for me. I like him, but he's been poor today.
He's such a ball watcher. That's his biggest problem.
He's an absolute idiot.
And you sound like Stephen Hawking - without the intelligence, of course.
He has had a bit of a nightmare. Which is a shame as his form had been good
I don't think they are. Not only has he played terribly, being at fault for every goal, he's meandered about without a care in the world.
How the hell was he at fault for the third goal? That's sweet.
I'm not playing right back for Man Utd though. Thankfully.
See, that's a legitimate post! Spot on, mate.
Err...
Touche
Not sure you need to be all that brilliant though to play football when all things are said and done.
Wat.
The entire defense stopped, Smalling, McNair could have continued running, as well. Why do people overlook that? It's a 4 man defense...
First of all it's an offside considering Lukaku ran far enough for McNair to stop running - he should not have stopped and thus would easily have reached the ball.
Not really. He's been awful. He's clearly a makeshift RB and we need a far more assured player to play there.
I've given up - I think you should too. Save your energy for shopping, or mowing your lawn - better spent, I tell ya.
I assume it's because he, along with the rest of the defense, switched off. Miracles was Valencias man tbf. But yeah, we definitely need a rb- but Valencias has been a decent stand in. Not first choice material though.
He's been poor today, but he's had a good season overall.
He's simply not a right back, would he be good enough for Chelsea, Bayern, Barca or Real at the position? Definitely not, so why should we resign ourselves to say that he can do a job for us. Those are the teams that we should be competing with and Valencia wouldn't get a sniff at any of them. Keep him on the bench and bring in someone competent in the summer. Until then we'll just have to put up with him.
Extremely poor today.
He was also at fault. How anyone can possibly reason that Valencia wasn't at fault for that goal is just mental. He's more got more to answer for because it was his man that scored.
He's made other mistakes during the season. He's not the answer to our RB problem. I have no problem keeping him as a backup but we need an actual RB brought in this summer. He has been adequate and had some good games but he has never fully convinced me.
In the summer a right back is a must. Rafael is just too rash and Valencia is too prone to the "what the fu@k" moments.
Hes always the weak link in our teams be it at RB or RW

Come off it, should have looked around because thinking there was no one behind him
Who wasn't? We've fecking regressed so much in just two games... All we do is pass the ball around for fun and do nothing.
It was just a stupid goal from all ends. In my book that is as clear an offside, but McNair should not have stopped running and would have been the first to catch it - more his fault than anyone else, except the ref who has been abysmal.
Correct. Expecting a bunch of 'should never play again' posts.
All players make mistakes. Ridiculous thinking otherwise. I remember Evra being blamed for a goal when there was a cross from Evra's side, Vidic cleared the ball and there was a goal from the rebound. Sometimes the Caf just needs scapegoats.
He was poor today, very poor in fact, but he's had a good season.
How can you argue he's not at fault for the third goal?The run from deep comes from his side, his man is not offside so he has to stay with him.
His form has been OK recently on the whole. But anyone who thinks the mistakes today are out of the blue is extremely naive. It's no coincidence there have been goals in recent weeks where we've seen a gaping gap down our right hand side (Monreal, Aguero, Hazard), and you can make arguments why other players also made mistakes too in these goals, but Valencia's positional mistakes and ball watching have been seen there, as well as another brainfart in the Welbeck goal.
The rest of his game is good, but he's just not a natural RB. He's very good 1 vs 1 when the play is in front of him, but as soon as the ball gets played behind him he struggles.
He's special....
Valencia isn't helping you at all.
I'm running interference for Tony and he lets me down.I know he's out now but surely Rafael's defending cannot be much worse? he can be shaky at times but at least he is a proper RB
I'll say this again.
Throw in his utter impotence going forward and utter inability to put in a cross or inject any pace into our play on the flanks and we are severely handicapped. Get rid of.
