"It's like..."
At least half the goals we concede are either significantly or entirely his fault.
We concede goals that other, poor or average teams never do, because Valencia doesn't know how to pay attention during a game of football.
It's not a one or two time thing and it's not a recent thing. It's been happening all season and it crops up in every game.
You can only argue that his quality on the ball compensates for his complete inability to do his job without it...but actually you can't even argue that. Every time Valencia gets the ball the game has to stop and take a break for 5 seconds while he decides what he wants to do with it.
If he played in defence for a poor side he'd get them relegated. I genuinely think he's that sub standard. The solution to having an average winger isn't to convert them into one of the most piss poor defenders in the league.
The really baffling thing is there were people earlier in the season claiming Van Gaal had improved him! He's had one decent game all season and that was in midfield against Everton at OT.
I've never known another player who gets rewarded for getting gradually worse with more and more game time
