Thought he showed the best and worst of his game last night. When off his game he becomes passive and indecisive, thinks too much about what to do instead of being instinctive. He is always a fantastic outlet and when he has as much of the ball as he has last night you really want to see him attacking his full back more often, but he was getting the ball, walking forward, looking at the defender, cover comes across and doubles up, pass inside. It was very frustrating. One moment especially when the ball came to him in the box, defender backing off, fantastic situation for him, but instead of driving at him he came inside and tried some odd outside of the foot cross/shot
However in the last 30 mins he suddenly found his aggression and urgency, a reaction to the team upping the tempo. When he has that in his game he is so hard to deal with, so strong on the ball and relentless in making defenders work. Having Giggs on the other side perhaps gave him a little more space. Valencia and Rafael is a very good partnership, complimentary styles and attitudes, has played well together almost from the start. They had a 60 mins against Bayern at home in that ill fated match when as a pair they were incredibly dominant against good players, but because of injuries they have not had as many games as you would have liked. |
