Seems the football has faded already. He should go take care of his mental issues and then he could start modelling his clothing line.

He shouldn't frustrate the fans with his regular abysmal performances while flexing on Instagram and expect cuddles and hugs from the fans.

I agree the abuses were quite extreme but Lingard needs to look at himself.

It is you that have chosen to be frustrated. We have about 30 players. Linagrd hardly starts these days, I see no way he frustrates anyone.

He has been away in our worst time and available in our best time. He was available when we finished 2nd with all the Herrera, Lukaku, Fellaini around. He played like 4 or 5 matches this season where we struggled badly. If he stayed fit, his record would have been affected as well.

Social media helps to relieve tension. Having a clothing line is not bad. When football fades las las man must survive.

People who invested their hard earn money in buying shares of the club do not even take things this far.

He had a decent game but some of his touches were poor. There was a loose ball in Derby's box in the first half that he was taking 2 touches to control.

But he played some great long passes. We have not seen such for a while.

Ighalo already won one Opta/whoscored MOTM

McTominay 9/9 long balls

Accurate passes 60/61

Highest tackles 5

Highest interceptions 2

But was unusually dispossessed today 7 times. Followed by Martial 2 times

MCTominay making precise long passes like he learnt from Scholes.

See as Romero saved that Rooney freekick with ease. That ball would have troubled DDG or even score and we will say it went over the wall and so not his fault

Your comments are always useless, null and void.

Low.

Tell me where I have made comments before on politics this recent months.

And some judges choose to ignore the law and listlen to his argument even when his argument doesn't make sense

The court applies the law to all sides of arguments. Some argument stand and some do not stand.

Jeezz!!! No 5 to 10 really got me. How can Hope be declared winner of an election he said was invalid?

If he said elections didnt hold in some parts of the sate and some were cancelled, why then would the court award him all the imagined votes? Was he the only candidate in the election?

Is it right for the court, in trying to protect it supremacy and infallability turn down a brazenly miscarriage of justice?
We all know the truth and the truth is that there should have been a fresh election!!!

Uzodunma is not the one to determine the validity of an election. Yes, he can argue that but his argument is only an argument before the court

DeGea will always bring panic to that defence while defending cross in balls into our box. If he has not improved much after 9 years, he is not going to be superb in that important aspect of goalkeeping.

Some of the great saves he has made have been from cross in balls he ought to have dealt with initially. He stands routed on his line in a situation where Romero would have gone easily to punch away or VDS would have taken the cross like a kiss. Then when a shot is coming from a goal mouth scramble or a header he makes a great save. But Romero doesn't many of these situations because he picks the balls at first.

EPL oppositions know this weakness about DDG and have used it against us.

afrodoc2:
I think Ighalo is still trying to improve his fitness. He was visibly tired in the 2nd half of the game he started.
Remember he came in from China without game time.
I expect that he will soon become the starting CF in the interim with Martial on the left and James/Greenwood on the right.

He looks heavy. I didn't want to say it in order not to start criticism of his game

iamoyindamola:
what about Henderson must you buy everytime
Nawa o

True

Expert17:
I hope he recovers soon.
Can't wait for his best.

Romero is not his replacement either. Romero has a good command of his box and deals with aerial balls with ease. But DeGea invites pressure in this aspect of goalkeeping.

Romero lacks reflexes which is DeGea's strong point. So we will need another keeper.

Expert17:
Do u want me to talk about De gea's Spain career....... He should have over 30 caps, can u mention just one game, that he played so well for Spain??

Most of De gea saves, are with LEGS, ...... He is the world best in leg saves......

De gea is poor in
- penalty
- corners
- Any crossing into the box
- Free kick
- Commanding his box

Correct. I observed this since his first season and he only improved 20% almost 10 years after.

But he is good at using his legs. The reason I did not want to blame him for his last error

nihilistjnr:
Trent is a winger/withdrawn playmaker not a fullback. He just happens to start at 2.

He's very much like Marcelo in how they operate, only that Marcelo is more skillful.

100 quality crosses per game bruv.

You people tried the same trick with Valencia but his pullout game is wack like tuface.

Valencia was once the best crosser of the ball in the EPL. Or may be Rooney was the good header abi? Valencia possibly still has the highest Assist from open play in a league season.

Leyqute:
Or... he could’ve chosen not to make that mistake at all. We started the game on the back foot and it’s all his fault. It would’ve been a different ball game if we scored the first goal.

I really find it hard to be hard on DeGea making a mistake with his leg. He has used his legs to do one million good things for us.

I rest my case.

You guys can argue with Premier League.

elampiro:
He interferred with the goalleeper's decision leading to the goal.

This was my post yesterday after the match. I did not read any report or check any rules before I made this comment. It is what has been in my memory since reading the new offside rule in 2015.

See an ex referee and the EPL saying same thing.

Eruditor:
It is possible to be a United fan and still be objective.

A player on the floor cannot impair the vision of a standing keeper.

Which even makes it more frivolous when you realize that DDG was initially moving towards the ball at the trajectory that Lewin kicked it. Which means DDG saw the ball.

I agree that the ball deflected and caught him off guard. But who caused the ball to deflect? Maguire - DDGs own teammate. So it can never be offside as the player who was offside did not interfere with the play.

I rest my case but just like when CFC fans defended the robbery against Ajax only to cry wolf against United, this decision could go against United when you need it the most.

You are trying to make a personal judgement without applying the new offside rules.

1. Maguire deflecting the ball in error is not same as a back pass. Your explanation would hold if Maguire made a back pass to DeGea. Keeper are meant to treat defection as a direct shot from.an opponent. DeGea could have held the ball with his hands and not be penalised. But a back pass he cannot. So it is treated as a shot from an opponent.

2 . The major issue here is the ball travelling into the net. The goalkeeper didn't have to be judged to be able to save it for the rules to apply. The keeper only had to be there.

3. The rules says if the player offside is close to the ball. The proximity of the player offside to the ball also play a big role. In this case he was not only close but blocking the flow of the ball with the keeper unable to decide if to dive for the ball because a deflection was the first option.

4. This is not a matter of blind argument or being a United fan or Everton fan. The rules are there. An ex referee has analysed it. Premier League has confirmed the decision.

5. Sidgurdson presence there is correctly adjudged to have affected the goalkeeper's decision. That is same thing I said immediately after the match even before seeing any analysis. I knew the rules since 2015

Watch the video and stop relying on pictures. Degea made two steps to the right while that ball was on motion. Was about making the third step when the ball entered. No way he was going to save that. Even Ole said in his post match interview he wasn't sure Degea would be able to save that.

My own problem is with VAR's inconsistency. I'm happy we got a draw but I've got mixed feelings about this. We've been getting it good from VAR's inconsistency the past 2 weeks but we're still not in that top 4. I'm really hoping at the point VAR's inconsistency is against us, it wouldn't be too costly for us.

VAR was right on this based on the rules.

Sugurdadon was too close to the ball. He was even in the direction of flow of the ball towards the goal and the goalkeeper was in goal.

His movement or being there affected the goalkeeper's decision. DeGea was going to dive for the ball but anticipating a deflection he moved to his right, I saw that clearly from one of the angles from VAR which the retired ref also said in the video above.

However, DeGea didn't have to be in a position to save the ball for the rules to apply. Nevertheless, who says DeGea with his sharp reflexes would not have saved that ball because he has made more serious saves. DeGaa himself told Ole that Sigurdson in that position distracted him

Eruditor:
It does. If the last touch comes from a United player, it cannot be offside.

This is not the rule. Premier League have even clarified this thing you people are still arguing. It is simple sense from the rules. This is something I knew since 2015.

How some people take pass WEAC sef? Mostly English comprehension.

Eruditor:
The ball was deflected to his own path it was not in his path when it left Lewin's foot.

This one no concern rule. The ball was on his path while going into the net. That is the issue.

Another former referee says it was a right call. And he says from 'this angle you can see DeGea trying to go for the ball but...'

Eruditor:
Quoting Roy Keane (a united legend) and ZERO expert in refereeing or interpreting rules does not solidify your argument.

The Premier League have moved quickly to clarify why Everton's late goal against Manchester United was disallowed.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin put the ball in the back of the net via a deflection and for a brief moment thought he had won all three points for his side.


But the goal was chalked off due to Gylfi Sigurdsson's positioning. The playmaker had been wiped out in the build up and was lying on the turf in front of David de Gea . Sigurdsson moved his legs to let the ball go into the back of the net but it was deemed that he had directly impacted the United shot-stopper's ability to make a save.

The Premier League statement read: "In the 91st minute of Everton v Manchester United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal was disallowed following a VAR Review for an offside offence against Gylfi Sigurdsson

Eruditor:
Not only does this image actually nullify your point, it is completely and absolutely untrue that DDG would have made a move for the deflected ball.

Don't forget, the ball was deflected by Maguire and DDG had set himself to dive towards his right end. All that happened was exactly what happens to every keeper when the ball changes direction. They are caught flat-footed.

Sigurdsson is clearly not influencing the play in anyway since Maguire changed the direction of the ball to his (Gylfi's) own path.

Get the gif version of the chance and be objective. Please.

The image and what I saw from VAR show that DDG was going to dive but hesitated in anticipation of a deflection when the ball hits Sigurdson.

Overall, the rules are clear. Sidgurdson was too close to the ball. That alone is enough. His action also affected the decision of the goalkeeper.
