With two exceptions (backwards passes) every touch yesterday following Depay's touch was by the opposition for either;

- a throw-in or corner following a blocked pass

- a goal kick following an off target shot or cross

- straight into keeper's hands

- tackled

- misplaced pass

I cant remember ever seeing any premier league player give the ball away as much

Sounds like he's giving Di Maria a run for his money on the giving the ball away front
Speaking of Di Maria, I watched him on Friday night - I couldn't watch him every week, every shot or cross was blocked

 

[yeah whatever !!]

No mention on MOTD last night about Youngs dive for the free kick that led to the first goal yesterday i see.

I noticed that. Cheating bastard cannot help himself.

 

[SuperBlu]

Martial looks better player than Bony.


It is sad when they sign these "potential" World class players.

 

[East Level 2]

They are away to Southampton next week that should be fun

Is that the same Southampton that lost 3-0 at home to Everton a few weeks ago?

 

[Blueknows]

Aye but the rags aren't Everton are they ? now Soton are out of the Europa I reckon they'll turn the rags over

Am I being a bitter with my blue tinted specs on or is this laughable?

@Troll__Football's Tweet:

Henry was in full control the whole time, from a muc harder area, more players taken on, more players in the vicinity, only thing similar was the actual finish. Gary Neville even spotted it, Martial was fortunate the way the ball ricocheted in front of him. This young lad does have potential but comparing him to Henry is laughable.

I Genuinely bought into the hype, I thought Depay was gonna be much better than this, embarrassingly poor.

I told you so! If you look back at my post of yesterday at 11.16am I predicted that if Martial scores, the media will be trumpeting "He's already justified his fee!"
So he scores - and the rest is just as I foretold. Apparently someone (Tyler?)said that he's worth every penny.
You could almost write the script beforehand. I did. Some replies cast doubt on my suggestion. But I was proved right. Age brings wisdom.

That's uncanny. If you look back at my post, I predicted Sunday would follow Saturday.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

May have already been mentioned but...

Did anyone hear Martin Tyler's reaction when Marty Al scored?

"YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

Simply unable to hide his unbridled joy at his beloved united's new boy scoring.

Edit: Apologies, I didn't realise there was a thread for Tyler.
