How did it get so bad? I still think we shouldn't have gotten rid of the Da Silva twins. Jesus I miss that pair
I really don't get why we're still keeping him. I guess he can still be used as a scapegoat though. It was evident today.
Barely attacked at all. However, solid defensively with a lot of interceptions.
great guy but finished and has lost any real attacking intent
tonight actually reminded me of a previous game this season when he was a bit cowardly. He seems to always turn back or go inside and the thing that frustrates the most is when he plays a 5 yard pass to Mata then runs to a position where he isn't really available

Game over.
His contract will expire this summer.
Don't extend and let him leave, doubt we'll be able to sell him -- is there even any clubs that want to get him.

Turnaround Toni, but now with 25% of his original work rate.
Definitely want to see his heat and passing maps for tonight. Not because I think they'll tell me anything I dont already know, but because of a morbid fascination.

Ole just has to realise he isn't his best any more. We need Dalot playing more with Young rotating with him.
He’s done. Can’t fault his work with us but it’d be a tragedy if he started many more games for us.
His time is up but he’s been a good servant for the club. It wouldn’t be quite as bad if he had someone other than Mata ahead of him, the two of them together are a really poor combination.
Young looks great compared to him, it's hardly been one game either. More like one year.
Am I crazy in saying he looked out of shape? Looked like he was carrying too much weight but I'm not sure.
As for performance, he looked lost. Didn't know what to do when we had the ball, positioning was wrong and most of their attacks came down his side. Herrera helped him a lot too. Coming back into a game like this wasn't ideal though, the Reading game would be the better though.
Young does look a lot better than him though.

You know Evra was a converted striker/winger right? Converting players to other positions has always happened, didn't Javier Zanetti play much of the first half of his career in midfield?
Full back is probably the position that has happened the most, especially for the players with the speed, stamina and agility to handle the workload.
Amazing how he basically stays in line with the center backs never straying beyond the half way line at any point to offer an outlet down that RW. He's aware of his limitations, the fans are aware of his limitations. Time to go.
Could just be a bad game while he's looking for fitness but I don't think so. Signs were there last year too, he's done. Hope he gets a good send off before he goes as I've enjoyed watching him play over the years. Will it be 9 or 10 years at the end of the season?
Hadn't the first bit of interest in going forward. With Mata strolling around infield it basically meant we didn't have a right hand side. Not sure whether it's the fault of the coaches or Tony. It was extremely frustrating either way.
We are 6th - he doesn't belong in the Premier League, he's that bad, the SPL is his level.
Atrocious, really looked unfit but that moment where he can see Atsu and is watching it all unfold and isn’t busting a gut to get back is criminal. He shouldn’t be played again. If he was at full tilt there then his legs have gone as he looked like he was running in sand.
He's mastered the art of backward and sideway passing. Born genius

If we were up against a side with more quality on wings, this would've been Gary Neville at WBA moment for Valencia
Yeah hes done. Before the game I thought resting Young for Valencia wouldn't matter as I thought they were a similar level and hes just lacking a bit of confidence but damn! I didn't know it was this bad. He was lucky to not embarrass himself out there.
There was no energy, nothing. His legs have totally gone. Herrera had to babysit him throughout. Thanks for the memories but he really shouldn't play again. He's a disaster waiting to happen and we have enough of that with calamity Jones.

Looks like he’s developed a bit of a gut.
The only thing I can think is he doesn't have the legs anymore to get back from an advanced quickly if we lose possession.
If you were to compare his heatmap from tonight and Young's from the weekend, they'd be polar opposites.

He does not bring dynamism to the game and still plays with the mentality of Mourinho and his passes backwards.
Valecia and Jones are the players that we should sell ASAP

This. He's detrimental to how we want to play and it really affected us today.
Imagine if we started him at Spurs. 
would get eaten alive. Enough is enough. It's like playing with 10 men.

Young still has the fitness to get up and down, he never really bulked up, carrying very little weight.

So Tony is obviously aware he's finished and he's trying to hide so he doesn't embarrass himself. Confirms what we all saw out there. Shame.
Been a wonderful servant to us but needs retiring. A shadow of a shadow of his former self. Ole isn't an idiot. It'll get sorted.
Its puzzling that he offers no attacking threat but was once a winger. He is finished at this level
Jesus!
Tallies with how he plays now though.
Get ball - run 5 yards - stop - pass ball back to RCB or midfielder (depending on which is the safer option)
He's not offered an attacking threat for 5 years, it's not something new. Puzzling still the same why he can't/ couldn't/ wouldn't.
He's done
He makes Young look like prime Cafu.

We have nothing coming from the right when he and Mata are there. It makes us so much easier to defend against. Neither of them should be starting for United
You gotta take some positives from the game...
- 0% unsuccessful crosses
- 0% smashed crosses into a shin
Cowardly performance. It's mad that in the Year of Our Lord 2019, I'm pining for Ashley Young at RB.
