Dear Di Maria fan boys, this is him not showing up when you really need him.
Poor against Chelsea and us now.
Great on his day but mentally frail espesh when utd are up against it.
He has been very poor last two games, but United were not particularly up against it against Chelsea. He had plenty of the ball and opportunity to do something, but is just in bad form. Still his delivery from free kicks was brilliant, not his corner which are woeful. As for not turning up in big games where do you get that from? Many of his best performances have been in Madrid's biggest games like the 4-3 loss against Barca or the CL final.
More often than not he goes missing in big matches i have found.
Yes he has played great in some to but to often he isn't the man to dig deep as mentioned by another poster, tenacity.
You can paint it how you like but the fact is against Chelsea and us he didn't turn up.
It is all well and good looking good attacking Sunderland and such 3-0 up.
But i could not trust him to have the metal to fight when they are 2-0 down.
His defensive efforts are non existent which is not a plus either.
