De Gea's dodgy isn't he?

Can the haters now accept that De Gea is a good keeper? If it wasn't for him against Ajax we'd be out of the competition ,and if it wasn't for him again tonight we'd have been looking an embarrassing scoreline, 5 or 6 potentially. He's also saved us quite a few times in the league despite what people say.

Good stopper!

Arghhh, we all know he is a world class shot stopper, but the question marks have always been about his ability to control his area and deal with high balls

Making 5-6 top class saves doesnt change the fact he has yet to master the other parts of his game.

de gea is class. more worryingly though, as a team we haven't played anything like well since liverpool at home, a whole month ago.

Well he's a 21 so he obviously isn't going to "master" the other parts of his game just yet, i'm just pointing out that he, has again played well. People seem all to keen to get on his back after a mistake, i want to praise him when he plays well.

You can't play well when you can't retain possession. None of our players seem able to do it now. Even Rooney is at it. He gave it away countless times tonight,

Good teams punish you and Bilbao are a good side.

Tbh, I dont think the majority of United fans so much got on his back when he was going through a bad patch, the critisism came from outside the club i.e from WUMs and the media.

Atm he is making world class saves on a gamely basis, some saves even VDS wouldnt have got to and more promisingly, he hasnt flapped at any crosses in the last month.

Then again though, the teams we have played against iun the last month, Ajax, Chelsea, Bilbao, Tottenham, Arsenal etc. like to play football on the ground so he hasnt been tested too much in that respect.

I just wish our defence would rpovide him with more protection! The number of shots at goal we have agaisnt us is ridiculo0us this season

is it clutching at straws to suggest that we haven't played well or kept the ball properly since valencia's injury? between arsenal away to ajax away we played some great stuff. we were even the better team in defeat at anfield in the cup.

I dont tihnk a missing winger can be the reason for why our team havent been able to keep possession. Even if that winger was Ronaldo.

All true but doesn't make me feel any better tonight.

This Utd squad is the poorest in the PL era. We have a very good first 11 when EVERYONE is fit. After that its pure dross.
==============================

You must have missed the Smith, Bellion, Djemba, Fortune, Kleberson era

It's nice to know when we are under the cosh we have a keeper who can keep us in the game, that's a quality not many goalkeepers posses.

Very unlucky with the third goal.
