This was also Kjaer’s penalty kick at the same World Cup against Subasic. Where was your secondary school law to punish these goalies for cheating? ; ![]() You people argue based on what’s on paper.
|
elampiro:If it’s not a new law, how did goalkeepers cheat at 2018 World Cup? Do you even watch football to be disputing a well known fact? This was Kasper Schmeichel when he saved Pivaric’s kick at 2018 World Cup. Where was your law to penalize Schmeichel?
|
Expert17:United wouldn’t even have made the final had Henderson kept at Roma. De Gea made about 8 instinctive saves Henderson would have bottled. It would have been epic losing a tie with 6-2 advantage in the first leg. |
elampiro:That’s not true. GKs we’re still doing it until VAR was introduced. The introduction of VAR introduced the law that at least one foot must be on the white line until the ball is kicked. |
Expert17:He’s not better than De Gea at anything apart from rushing out of his lines to pretend to claim the ball. Even that attribute is questionable as he has also conceded goals where he ought to have rushed out to claim the ball. |
elampiro:I wonder how he couldn’t save United from conceding 3 goals against Sheffield United(relegated team) at Old Trafford. This was Dudek against Pirlo in 2005. Dudek was off his line completely before Pirlo even kicked the ball and Dudek saved. No officials spotted it.
|
elampiro:It is quite new. Long before this season, GK’s were able to game the system because there was no VAR to check if the keeper came out of his line or not. Until last season where every pen gets reviewed to see whether GK gained an advantage via cheating. Liverpool couldn’t have won the 2005 CL final with the nonsense Dudek was doing in Istanbul. He cheated over and over and got away with it. |
elampiro:It would be a totally different game if Henderson was in goal. Little details like speeding to start attacks after catching a ball and giving the ball away can create chances for opponents. You are putting the blame on the wrong person. Your world class manager took out Greenwood to bring on Fred while searching for a goal - De Gea’s fault. Your world class manager made no changes in normal time to try and win the game. Emery made his first change in the 60th minute - De Gea’s fault. Villarreal have the budget of Crystal Palace and yet Ole couldn’t find a solution to break down their low block - De Gea’s fault. You people deserve Ole. ![]() |
Expert17:It’s irrelevant if we don’t know the quality of the opposition faced by both De Gea and Henderson. Expert17:That was because of how poor Shaw & Fred’s kicks were. The Villareal players were better at taking penalties than United players. I guess that was De Gea’s fault too. ![]() Expert17:De Gea’s hand touched about 3. Expert17:Henderson is a bum. He’s not better than De Gea at anything. At 24, De Gea had won the PL and Europa/SuperCup at Atletico. De Gea had graced the PFA team of the year at 24. Henderson hasn’t achieved anything close. He’s a bum who has no quality to even become United’s number one even if De Gea leaves. Henderson is a 2nd goalkeeper at best. If De Gea decides to leave, United still need a #1 goalkeeper. Oblak or Donnarumma should be pursued instead of Henderson. We all saw how useless Henderson was against Liverpool. ![]() |
Karleb:I think he deserves another season. Olesexuals haven’t learnt any lesson yet. Half of them are still convinced he’s the man for the job. So let’s go again and see what this guy has to offer once more. ![]() |
Expert17:Henderson conceded against Wolves(weak attack). Henderson conceded 3 goals at OT against Sheffield United who had relegated as early as December last year. Expert17:Centrally to his left or to his right? The instruction did not say. Go and stand in goal before criticizing. Villareal’s keeper followed instructions and conceded 10 goals too. Penalties are too difficult to save with the new rules. The taker has to be very very poor for any goalkeeper to have a chance. Henderson in goal wouldn’t have won the game for United last night. United were losing either way because the manager is useless. |
elampiro:Henderson is a bum. United would have lost at normal time if he had been in goal. Saving penalties isn’t easy anymore with goalkeepers being forced to stay on the line until the ball is kicked. The taker has to be very poor for a goalie to have a chance. The Villarreal keeper didn’t save any too apart from De Gea’s kick. De Gea should never have been put in that position - he’s a goalkeeper, not a penalty taker. If Ole had done the needful, he would have brought on VDB, Mata, Amad at the 60th minute to try and win the game. Ole deserved to lose. Stop putting the blame on De Gea. |
hoopLA:But his fans see progress. Let’s examine the ‘progress’. ![]() Progress Under Ole: 5/7 Quarter-Finals 1/5 Semi-Finals 0/1 Finals 0/1 UCL group stage qualifications Prem Finishes: 6th (66pts, 32 off the top) 3rd (66pts, 33 off the top) 2nd (74pts, 12 off the top) In any organization, Ole would have received his P45 like 12 months ago. He personifies the word failure. After spending close to £300m, 0 trophies in 3 years? ![]() This club is a joke. |
hoopLA:Mourinho won this in 2017 without any tension. At no point in that final did anyone think Ajax would score a goal. It was a Mourinho masterclass. It wasn’t supposed to be easy. Jose had plenty of challenges going into that final. This was what Mourinho had to deal with to win it in 2017. Close to half of the starting XI were on crutches.
|
hoopLA:A grown up with zero brain cells. |
hoopLA:Mourinho’s legacy lives on. ![]()
|
Chelsea fans trolling United fans, your own final is coming soon. You better not lose that final. ![]() The trolling will be epic. |
weedtaker:They have not realized how bad it is to have just 2 shots on target(61% possession) in 120 minutes against Villarreal. Mourinho parked the bus in 2017 final against Ajax and he managed 4 shots on target in 90 mins, 30% possession. ![]() |
hoopLA:Just take my life with ricin. ![]() I can’t take this anymore. ![]() |
hoopLA:Forgive him. ![]() Lack of proteins is worrying his thought process. |
Expert17:There’s no proof of that. Had Henderson played tonight and United lost in a similar manner, the pro De Gea group would also be saying David would have saved 8 of those penalties. 2 shots on target in 120 mins against Villarreal? United deserved to lose. |
hoopLA:What we have been saying for months. ![]() |
TrebleChamp:It’s the media. 90% of United fans have been brainwashed by the media. Instead of winning a title, they tell you Ole has beaten Pep 5 times so he’s a good manager. ![]() They tell you Ole hasn’t lost an away league game in a season so it’s progress. They tell you Ole has injected United DNA into all his players and there’s a positive atmosphere. Emery played a Mourinho known tactic and won. Their fans are celebrating. No one cares about tactics in a final - just win the bloody trophy and keep it moving. |
Expert17:Man was playing for shootout. He kept his reserves till the dying minutes of the 2nd half of extra time. United had 2 shots on target in 120 mins against Villarreal. ![]() |
Expert17: ![]() Ole dressed for the occasion, only to lose like a bïtch. It can never be my manager - Jose Mourinho.
|
BARAJ92:Ok sir. Welcome to the club. |
Expert17:All the penalties were well taken. They were putting them in the top bins. There’s no guarantee Henderson would have fared better. The only question is why did it take a shootout to beat the 7th best team in Spain? How did it get to a shootout if Ole isn’t incompetent? |
Villarreal have never won a major trophy in their 98 years of existence. They met the specialist in failure(Ole) and they got one. ![]() Mourinho is somewhere in west London laughing his ribs out. This is what you get for putting a rookie in a veteran’s job. |
BARAJ92:We don’t need you. If he’s taken you this long to realize Ole is useless, you are fake. |
Failure is in the blood. Ole will never win a trophy at this club. I hope his fans are happy. |
patrickmuf:Mourinho won this without any tension in 2017 and his haters said it was a useless achievement. Now, we have to be taken through the anxiety of a penalty shootout against a 7th placed team in Spain. If there’s any Ole supporter still out there, this is a lesson for them that their manager is the most useless in Europe. |
