When smalling had a little run at cb beside vidic a few seasons back he looked absolutely superb. Looked like him and vidic were becoming the first choice pairing. Then vidic got injured.

I remember that spell and it had a master & apprentice feel about it. Smalling looked very good and I think Smalling really needs to stay at CB.

Shaw & Herrera a v good start imo. Another midfielder(s) and centre half on the way.

Ha its probably pure s.hite but I love that optimism

Lord TSC

Ah, Valencia. Awesome work at the World Cup :rolleyes:

If it was RvP or Mata I'd be absolutely defending him. Tony V??? Hang him out to dry.

Did he even connect? I'll need 20 gifs, 2 vids and 100 stills to be totally sure.

Deiseboy01

Evra was in his ear before the restart, probably called a favour or two to ensure the left back is in no position to take his spot!!

Unearthly

I blame France and Switzerland for that red card

Only God can judge him at the gates of heaven as far as im concerned.

Poor Tony V another victim of a "European conspiracy"

Not sure Fowler would be the fairest judge

redbaron_99

Maybe fowler was "eating the grass" again

Lovely Bloke

It was a nothing challenge.

Its cool. The ref did a pretty good job of dealing with it.

Guys it's a culture thing in Ecuador. That's how you great someone you respect highly. Jeez.

DM_7

Maybe after 20odd hours of replays showing some lad biting another player I am desensitised but Valencia didn't do a whole lot to get sent off.

If a defender slides in is he just supposed to stand there?, he tried to protect the ball and like the rest of his play he did it badly but it wasn't malicious.

Have man u agreed terms for vermealan or are they just rumours

Paul Tergat

I'd say it would be fun to go into the England v Ecuador thread and see just what some of the above had to say when Tony as on the other side of that sort of a tackle....

Second sending off in the space of a few weeks.

FIFA really need to clamp down on this before someone gets badly hurt.

They should consider an International and Club ban.

Valencia, sign that lad up!!!

Edit: Eder Valencia that is!!!!

To be honest we would be happy to see him not play for us.

2 year ban in all competitions at least if you ask me. It'll send a message that FIFA takes player welfare seriously.

Most United fans would agree! 6 month ban for two red cards in a few weeks seems fair

Could not resist a bite?

redbaron_99

Bill and the lads think it was a fair challenge. After the replay, I agree. He tackles the ball.
Still potentially dangerous.
Yellow in my opinion.

We need to be careful, an international ban might mean Barca or Madrid won't want to buy Valencia this summer.

Studs up equals a red these days. It has to really

Poor Antonio. Needs professional help.

Now that he got 2 red cards in short span we can be happy that none of the big 2 in Spain or Bayern will bid for our Antonio.

Rejoice this moment and enjoy when you can.

Valencia whao
He comes from Ecuador and leaves em on the floor

What a **** chant but best I can do.

Now that he's shown a sinister side Liverpool might be back in for him.:)

Ah was a red all day long. The lads on rte are just taking bollix for the second night in a row.

I turned off when those idiots started down that road, it was a red card all day long. Both feet off the ground, then the right foot hits the ball, goes over the ball and down the defenders leg.

"Tackling" the ball is utterly irrelevant when the tackle is deemed to be dangerous.

Hopefully he is banned from football for life and hopefully United are insured against that.

Liam O

If Valencia went in studs up he'll be rightly condemned but Digne did an interview with his socks still on and was acting the bollox all game. I doubt Valencia even slid at this stage with the evidence we have.
