Couldn't watch the game, I'm more upset about injuries right now, really bad luck. I don't know why this always happen.

Edit: really bad day, all rivals won and we lost few points.

Injury list update:

1- Rafael
2- Vidic
3- Cleverly
4- Rooney
5- Chicharito
6- Evans
7- Carrick
8- Smalling
+ Maybe Evra

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to say.

Let me help! You can say "We may be ****ed" or "Our injury list is stronger than our starting list" or "**** us! we can found a 8-a-side handicap chamionship" or "Bring back O'Shea" or "I'd rather see Carrick as a striker than a midfielder" etc

Just need a winger and a GK and it will be a good team.

 

[kp41]

We just have 2 matches during next 20 days so I hope most of those players return.

I can't wait for this international break, great timing .

 

[Adil_7]

Alex ferguson dont usually like international break but this time he will.

 

[clash]

I just coulnd't resist...

How come no other players complain about our medical system then? One of the reasons why United is so successful is because United has an excellent medical system with great facilities. Besides, Hargreaves was allowed to see his own personal doctor while he was injured.

He never said the medical team was incompetent, he just said they botched his recovery. Is it impossible for a very good medical staff to get it wrong with one player? It seems plausible to me, and I don't think it's fair for United fans to hate on him for speaking up about it. He never uses any insulting language towards anybody at the club, and even goes so far as to say:

"United are one of the biggest clubs in the world with Barcelona and Real Madrid. They have a lot of wonderful people there. I'm sad for myself that I wasn't able to play a bigger part there. I really envisaged it going differently but it didn't materialise the way I anticipated. They've moved on now and they've got a wonderful group of players. The young guys who are coming through look great. So I'm happy for them as well."

How is De gea doing? Van der gea already?

 

[Pogba4Now]

he did great in the last 2 games. Improving with each game.

EDIT: His game against Stoke:

Made some amazing saves.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Football Weekly they also said he was at fault for the goal.

 

[Arnau]

Spain number 1 and Man utd legend soon, i've never seen a GK with this level at this age before.

no offence dude, but Casillas was already recognized as pretty incredible by 2000 ...

and the greatest-ever [I've seen] Gianluigi Buffon bettered even that -- debuted and cemented his first-team place aged 17 ...

De Gea has bags of talent, but he's making more errors than I expected ... IMO, not worthy of a Buffon or even Casillas comparison at the same age ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, I don't remember Buffon at that age, but Casillas was absolutely better. Just read an article at The Guardian the other day about all the really phenomenal young keepers around, De Gea might not even be all that unique of a talent for his generation. Just one of many, but the one I'm most familiar with, 19 year old Bernd Leno is making an amazing impression on loan at Leverkusen filling in for the injured Rene Adler. In fact, I think Leverkusen fans might prefer that Adler just gets sold and they try to sign Leno permanently at this point.

I'd also say that because of the long length of goalkeeper careers, his contemporaries are Neuer, Lloris, Akinfeev, and Hart. He's got a ways to go. Needs to fill out that jersey a little more to start.

 

[Mandieta6]

Courtois is doing very well at Atletico too, they certainly haven't missed De Gea.

 

[kp41]

All great keepers have high level of charisma, Buffon, VDS, Kahn and Casillas had it from the early age. De Gea has a great talent but he's not a guy who controls defense and screams at defenders.

You might be right, but not many keepers possess the distributing qualities of De Gea. That's also the main reason why SAF went for him. He has already started countless of attacking moves when on the counter attack.

 

[Pogba4Now]

I've never seen even Schmeichel or VDS distribute the ball like he does TBH. But he needs to improve in other departments like strength, concentration and confidence.

So true and I love Szczesny for this. The guy is super confident and is a massive talent. I guess he doesn't get any attention due to him being Polish.

Bdw, De Gea almost had an epic moment

 

[Help?]

wtf was that game?
