Crowding your keeper? your own defenders did most of that, just ask Fergie, besides its expected in the PL happens to every keeper in the league.

I dont think anyones complaining about that tactic zee if a keeper shows a weakness its the first thing to try, that and load the box with high balls. Dea Gea is unsettled and that gave you your first goal I think that's was he was getting at my only question is why Liverpool stopped doing it i was so thankful everytime a ball was played away from him.
He will be crushed after Saturday and best Fergie lets him sit out at least until he looks a bit more imposing.

I was bemused aswell should have peppered the box with crosses and the lanky streak of piss carroll.

I still think De Gea will come good, he needs time to adjust to the league and as some other people said he needs bulking up more, maybe more Donuts

He should have stayed in Spain for another couple of seasons to gain more expe before Utd bought him, but i do understand why they did many big clubs where after him. He hsould have been eased in to the league behind Lindegaard who looks good himself, but he had half a season on De Gea already and looked comfortable, but it was the price tag which meant he got played ahead of Lindegaard

[redtide11]

Hope he does come good and I believe he will but if you can spot a weakness in SAF then chosing keepers has been his. The great Dane took 6 years to replace until we finally got our hands on VDS just hope it does not take that long before DDG matures into the top keeper he is touted to become. Lindegaard has been starting our league games and I think that trend will continue but we do have a couple of ties with Ajax on the horizon and I just wonder if SAF will throw DDG staright back into those ties.

Everytime liverpool got a corner I was thinking oh shit not again. I ain't complaining about it at all. To be honest if your keeper had looked as unsettled as he was on Saturday I'd expected u ited to take advantage.

As said tho. Why you dint pepper the box with mor crosses is a mystery.

Not sure about him atm. I did say guve him time to settle and adjust but everytime he plays he looks worse than the game before.

As said again I ain't slagging off the fact de gea was crowded. Yes our players were there also but you had players there as well. I think united would have done the same if you had de gea in goal.

Word is that De Gea has been so affected by bis performance that he tried to hand in a transfer request but he dropped it on the way there ..

I like to see people see the humorous side of things.

My personal opinion on DDG, he will be a very good keeper, he just needs time to adjust fromthe laid back football of Spain to the sometimes blood and thunder of English football.

I also thing Fergie made a boob by not playing Lindergard but thx Fergie.....he also tried to defend him for the goal, nice of the manager to do this by saying the defenders crowded him but lets be honest....if DDG hadn't been hell bent on pushing Carrol away then he may have had time to concentrate on what he gets paid to do.

Onward and upward guys...roll on Feb 11th

A Bit of disapointing news today from OT, It looks like Ravel Morrison is on his way down to West Ham

I thought he was going on loan till end of season, But looks like a permanent deal around 3m, If its true i can see why they have let him go but by god he looks a very good talent!!

While Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken frequently, and admiringly, about the scope of Morrison?s talent, he has also suffered from disciplinary problems at United.
Morrison wanted first team football but United felt his talent was better being developed with a more gradual elevation and he has made just two first team appearances this season. A frustrated Morrison missed training on several occasions and, with his contract running out, United gave his representatives permission to seek out buyers.
Coaches at Carrington rave about Morrison?s technical ability and spatial awareness and, when he gets up to match fitness, Sam Allardyce will seek to integrate him into his promotion-chasing team rapidly.
It is understood that West Ham?s history of bringing through gifted young players played a role in Morrison?s decision. Morrison scored two goals in the FA Youth Cup final last season as Manchester United won the trophy and has played for England at U16, U17 and U18 level

Sad news he really looked the business whenever ive seen him, contract disputes and an oversized ego the key here I think. Pogba has also been involved in dispute over his appearances and contract and I hope this is not now a growing trend with young footballers. The agents have got claws into them and we are seeing more and more young players demanding better contracts or simply turning their backs. Wellbeck for us just recently and truth in the article that Andy posted.
If Morrisons off the field antics and ego are the problem here then we need to say good riddance but such a shame and hope that he makes good of the talent he obviously possesses.
