Because most of De Gea's work was routine stuff. I know Arsenal fans want to console themselves with these stats but it was desperation, kitchen sink stuff: competing for second balls off set pieces, optimistic shots from distance etc. Hardly glorious football.

I do like how De Gea's aura is now so great that opposition fans lose their mind whenever he plays well. It reminds me of Schmeichel.

Not at all, the funniest bit is last year your fans and jose cried about keepers having worldies against you and is why you continued to drop points. Lets ignore the fact you have the best in the business at it though.

Come on mate ..the alpaca is a good keeper but the best in the business is well over the top.
Would you seriously swap him for Eddie because I fucking wouldn't.
He gets lots of praise because he does lots of camera saves..look great on TV but take a sideways step and he could catch most of them rather than pushing the ball out.
Not saying he doesn't make some good saves as well but definitely rather would have Eddie.
 
I can't understand how some people cannot see that it was a red card, if you ignore the lunge and stamp with his right leg then it should still be a red card for moving his left foot to the left and standing on Bellerins other foot.
 
The sarcastic ref clapping now needs the additional 1 game ban adding on...

<breath not held>
 
Definitely. I'm not sure the players are completely comfortable using a back 3 and need more practice with it. Mourinho probably should have brought on Herrera earlier to help shore up midfield but maybe he was confident that the result was never in real danger, moments after the De Gea double save we went up the other end and scored the third.
Do you believe Arsenal should have had a penalty when it was still 2-1?
 
I’d be worried if our keeper was our most important player.
Exactly, if our keeper had equalled a record held by a Newcastle and a Sunderland keeper I’d be asking questions how our defence is allowing it to happen not celebrating it
 
Their fans are pissing me off, saying we've had it lucky with injuries/suspensions. Not sure where to go for the numbers but just off the top of my head:

Mendy - out for the season
Aguero - Missed 3/4 weeks including away at chelsea
Kompany - Missed about 6 weeks
Stones - Out for 6 weeks.
Walker - Missed a game for 2 yellows when the first was debatable and the second was a joke
Sterling - Missed a game for a red card, after celebrating a last minute winner with his own fans

I'd hardly call that lucky. Its not as if those players mentioned are fringe players. All would most likely start if fit.

Kompany was more like 3 months I think.
 
Thought Hart`s performance against Dortmund was better.

I thought Joe's performance against Spurs in the first game of the 10/11 season was better.

It was possibly the second best goalkeeping performance I’ve ever witnessed. The best was Nicky Weaver's against Ipswich during 99/00.
 
I'm so fucking sick of hearing about Pogba and how lucky City are not to be facing him like City wouldn't be favorites if he was playing. I have yet to hear anybody say how lucky teams have been not to be facing Mendy/Kompany/Stones.

Mrs Vienna’s just said she’d rather Carlton was playing on Sunday.

Great shout that. Joe had just come off the back of a really good loan season at Birmingham but I wasn't sure Mancini would throw in straight in as Given was a reliable keeper. Was an unreal performance which was the changing of the guard.

These days I find it sad seeing his level of performance.
 
First of all chaps stop indulging 'Falcao' he's clearly a WUM. Not even a Rag could be that delusional.

Secondly I must say I'm very surprised Pogbwho got the 3 game ban. Given the sweeping under the carpet of the Lukaku incident I thought this would follow suit.

Third, I'd rather he was actually facing us. He's fucking shite and Silva and KDB would've pissed themselves at him for 90 minutes. They're more solid without him so if they have the bus on standby, him being out will suit them better.

Agree re Hart's demise.

A shadow of the GK he once was.

Believe me they are not more solid without him, and that is saying something because he is very poor.
