It wasn’t a back pass, it was a cross.

De Gea dived to prevent a cross from getting across.

Henderson couldn’t catch a shot that was directly in front of him.

If De Gea’s replacement can’t even do the basics or do the things De Gea gets criticized for, why is he a replacement?

Replacement should be better than the original. Mendy is better than Kepa. Ederson is better than Bravo/Hart put together.

Henderson isn’t better than De Gea.
DDG should stay in the bench. We were patient with him for 1 1/2 season. We have seen his best and worst. Now to give Henderson his chance.

He dived to get to that ball.

You should be thanking him for even getting to parry the cross.

Henderson didn’t need to dive, he was positioned behind the ball and he still parried into a danger area.

De Gea dived to stop the cross from getting across the goal.
Hahhaha, diving for a back pass? grin grin grin He dived because he wanted to.

Did he dive for the ones he vomited in the previous video? Many slip under his arms into the net

That’s not a good excuse.

You either remember he did and provide the details of the game or you don’t remember because it hasn’t happened.

One thing De Gea has improved on massively is his handling of shots. His instincts and reflexes are also on point. I think De Gea would have kicked the ball away with his foot for the first goal.

De Gea would have certainly saved the second/third goals.

Only the 4th goal would have ruined De Gea and that would be because of the desperation to get the equalizer.
Check Everton's first goal

The funny thing was that it was not even a shot. He vomited what could be said to be a back pass. We were winning 2-0 comfortably

See your Henderson grin

Why didn’t he come out?
I am thinking he is getting instructions to come out less. If that is the case, it will only lead to confusion. He should be allowed to do what he knows and mature with it.

3nd goal: Fred and Shaw
4th goal: Matics and McTominay

McTominay did not stay with Salah. That was an error being the man given responsibility to keep the house while everyone else went hunting. Matics was dribbling to where?

Bailly will always be a bench defender until he learns how to play from behind.

So what?

Henderson was behind the shot. It wasn’t as if he was diving to get there. Why didn’t he catch the ball?
DDG usually vomit too from that rage

Henderson can't be our No. 1 if we seriously want to compete for the league. De Gea himself also is past it. If the club is serious, we should get another goal keeper. There are a lot of decent ones in Spain and Germany, who won't cost last 30 to 40 million. Also, Ole need to work on the defensive organization of this team. All in all, a bad defense won't win you trophies, no matter how good your attack is. Sir Alex knows this that is why he changed goalkeepers all the time till he got Van Der Sar and also spends well on Defenders.
He can. He needs to be reassured. The coaching crew should give him more freedom, because if they try to make him stay on his line more, he might be confused. I noticed he is now shy of coming out or indecisive which could be input from the bench. But this forced adjustment will cause him more confusion

Ole is the most Useless manager in the history of MUFC and that's set in stone angry

What's the point of resting players then.
Sometimes the way Ole makes stupid decisions ehn... you go dey wonder
Why not unleash our full squad on Leicester and then bag 3 points?
Then you can field team B to share the spoils with Liverpool.

Anyways...what do I even expect for a clueless idiot that rested players who'd later go for 2 weeks international break grin grin

Omo OLE is useless. No cap
Playing the players in that game could have led to muscle sore.

Punching is only better if you punch clear out of danger.

Henderson didn’t do that.

And he was totally at fault for the 3rd goal.
Which 3rd goal? The one Fred and Shaw were trying to be Xavi and Messi in our own box?

Maguire and Vidic una lol
Maguire is trying. Vidic had the benefit of VDS and world class players all around him. Vidic strength was his aerial prowess. He was weak in some aspect like speed and against skillful forwards coming at him one vs one.

If you watch our come back vs Spurs, you will see Vidic did worse than Maguire in reading the situation. Also, when we played Barca in UCL final 2009, we had the upper hand until Vidic allowed Eto to beat him easily. Then we were shocked and never recovered.

If DDG wouldn’t have punched, a United defender could have headed the ball clear out of the box.

Punching the ball timidly is worse than not coming out at all to punch it.
Punching is always better than allowing a header. He still punched it outside the box, which was safe enough

If DDG made the punch Henderson made for Liverpool’s first goal, these pundits would be all over him and if ole Gollum thinks he’s taken his chance and puts him number 1 over DDG, he’s honestly deluded..
DDG would not have even punched it. Punching was still better than a direct header. It was the players who needed to clear or defend the punch away

Guess we're beginning to see the value of Maguire?! Best Defender couldn't live up to the hype again.
Maguire is over scrutinized. Even Vidic use to goof

Today's game reminds me how we use to play under Van Gaal. We were just playing for playing sake �

The boys were so unsure of themselves. The major issue was lack of build up from the rear. The last half of our team was bereft of what to do. This is like just trying to pass to a team mate for the sake of making a pass. Even at that the passes were hardly completed.

Elampiro, this one is for you.

Which comeback is your favorite? cheesy
1. Everton vs Manchester United 2006-07
Reason: It was a must win match towards the end of the season, otherwise, Jose Mourinhi Chelsea stood a chance of overtaking us to their 3rd title in a row


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktnl2XHtpz8

2. Premier League: West Ham 2-4 Manchester United 2010-2011

Reason, like the one above, this one had a bearing on the trajectory of title race.

All those statement above is not an insult right? Tell me, why is it of all the sentences you were typing, only that italicized words where bolded. Why?

So anybody who doesn't really agree with your opinion or any opinion at all is termed "Coogar" right? So most times Dayo always wriggle his way out of situation too no matter what can be called "Coogar" too, right?.

See boss, you started well, but your ending is very very uncalled for. I've never ever insulted anybody in this thread cos I respect people's opinion and I know when to agree or not. The only moniker I know I've insulted is Illimit.able and everyone knows why.

You insulting me and even making it bold is very uncalled for and for the respect I have for you, I won't retaliate, esp cos it's not worth it. If you believe he's Coogar, fine!. Everybody with their opinion and belief. You don't need to shove it down my throat that he's the one, neither do I. Even the illim.itable guy have said it here he isn't Coogar (weda it's true or false is another thing on its own). So you don't need to insult me to prove your point. I hate such a thing with passion.

Please let us all be guided!
That is not an insult na. It was a conditional statement.

With the way we've conceded numerous chances to Roma in this game, wonder whether the McFred pivot would have conceded such chances.

One would think we would have slaughtered Roma without that double pivot cause they're a small team.

I still don't actually believe that is coogar sha, but if he is, mehn embarassed embarassed

This coogar na really aba made, 0.5 version of the coogar I knew way back. This wan can lie, twist words, not remotely accurate compared to the other one. In fact this coogar comeback na Fvckup comeback grin grin
I think he is the one. If he had been here all along, you will not have a mind of your own. You would have supported him all these years to the point you would have been in his camp right now. Coogar was always capable of wriggling himself out of situations when boxed/checkmated/caught.

So stop saying he cannot be Coogar. You dont expect Coogar to come and agree with your opinion. Your opinion could be inferior, if another person doesn't join your camp, stop blasting him as Coogar 0.5. May be it is you who have now grown into a man instead of a student, or that your opinion has been quack all these while, and you cannot handle the superior lesson you are being served

Before they said Ole cannot get past semi final matches. Now that it is very likely he is getting to the finals, they change their talk to only the UCL and EPL is what are important.

We cant keep conceding rubbish goals.

Imagine shipping 2 cheap goals like that in a SF. Did they even learn anything from the previous SF defeats. I don tire


If we go into next season like this it will end in tears.
People don't see how much Fred and McTominay are doing in that midfield which helps the defence and allows our forwards to focus on attack
