Antonio Valencia is the laziest full back in the league

[Skills]

The man doesn't ever make a run unless he's 100% certain he'll be passed the ball out there. There's so much space to be occupied out on the wing, yet he he's so reluctant to push up afraid of having to chase back. When play is down that wing, he doesn't make an off ball run to create options. Just cramps up the entire pitch.

He was the best winger in the league for a few years. Teams should be terrified of him, but his lack of off ball effort blunts the potential for carnage out there. Far less talented full backs, seem to be more effective in the final third because of their willingness to run.

A bit inflammatory but let's discuss.

 

[goin4glory]

Nonsense.

 

[charlenefan]

This isn't a serious thread is it?

 

[Offside]

Nonsense.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

You can't be serious. The guy is up and down the line from the first min to the last.

 

[Nighteyes]

Bullshit

 

[Sigma]

 

[VorZakone]

Griezmann has pace.

 

[buckooo1978]

maybe tonight at times but never before this season to my memory

think he was under instruction to stay back

 

[Ramshock]

what the feck is this shit?

 

[Zoo]

Crazy.

 

[Giant Midget]

It's not laziness. It's tactical instructions for when we play without the spare man in midfield so that we don't get caught on the counter.

 

[Nighteyes]

Griezmann has pace.

Viva Ronaldo

 

[Irrational.]

Probably our most hardworking player. Lost count today of how many times he was up and down that flank.

Lazy is the last word I'd use to describe him.

@The Black Pearl

Here's your chance!

 

[Tom Van Persie]

He never stops running

 

[klayton88]

Go to bed mate.

 

[Pexbo]

Some threads just aren't worth the bandwidth.

@The Black Pearl

Here's your chance!

 

[Cutch]

Right that's enough internet for me tonight

 

[tomaldinho1]

No Wum-ing no cry

 

[Jaybomb]

He's probably been the best RB in the Prem this season but I still think we need to sign someone else.

Nelsinho looks to be a good option. And I always liked Seamus Coleman.

 

[ChaddyP]

entire OP should be in white text

 

[Frank Grimes]

If I was to use an word to describe Valencia lazy would be at the very bottom of my list, bizarre OP.

 

[Scarecrow]

Well, @Skills was at the game tonight, so maybe he saw something we didn't. You do get a much better overall picture when you watch live.

 

[horsechoker]

VALENCIA WAS A GREAT PLAYER BUT A DIFFICULT PERSONALITY

After running for about 120 minutes, I'm not sure why you'd make this thread.

 

[Fergies Formula]

Close this thread, most absurd thing I have read in a whilte.

 

[Rado_N]

Someone find his distance run tonight.

He didn't stop ffs.

 

[Kostur]

Well this is sort of unexpected I give you that.

 

[MoBeats]

Did you only catch the last 1 minute of the game then?

 

[Unlikely lad]

 

[el3mel]

LOL the reactionary way people here evaluate the players is ridiculous .One plays a bad game and is hammered immediately and become a player full of problems.

He's one of our best players and no back will do the same effort he had done this season. He's running the whole right flank through the whole season without any support from any wing . One bad game is normal .

 

[ChaddyP]

Probably our most hardworking player. Lost count today of how many times he was up and down that flank.

Lazy is the last word I'd use to describe him.

commentators lost count as well in BT. They even said he was running a relay with himself on the right side.. all while having to deal the second fastest player on the pitch.

Next thread will be Herrera doesn't tackle enough or Fellaini is shit at chest controls, Mata has the first touch of an elephant

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

I don't think any of the right backs in our league are known for their laziness. How you can categorically name Valencia as the laziest of them all is lost on me though.

 

[the unknown one.]

Valencia is an Aztec behemoth!

What is this sacrilege?

 

[JPRouve]

Griezmann has pace.

This. He is rapid, fast and quick.

 

[OL29]

Valencia's one of our most hardworking players, has been since he joined

Troll or imbecile, you decide folks.

Mate, you're wrong.
