Naah. We agree on a lot most of the time, but that was on de Gea. We all know, and he knows, that he isn't good with his feet and we all know, and they both know, that Maguire has the turning circle of an oil tanker. Firstly, Maguire calling for the ball doesn't make it his fault, as some have suggested. I am assuming de Gea has a brain, here. Also, being told to play the ball out from the back doesn't make this ten Hag's fault. Again, assuming de Gea has a brain, there were other options. He must have seen the three pressers converging on Maguire and then he underhit the pass, so that they were nearly on top of him when he received it. There was nowhere for Maguire to go, unless we suddenly expect him to move like prime Nureyev and shimmy past three pressers into midfield. That was never going to happen.

De Gea's fault all day long.

As an aside, these balls from the keeper to a defender under pressure in centre field just outside the box give me the willies every time. I don't know who started this shit (Neuer?) but it has taken a couple of years off my life expectancy. It looks good when we do it because we have the keeper and defenders/midfielders to deal with it, but it will cost us at some point and when it does I can guarantee you that people will be saying, and quite rightly, that it was Ederson's fault for choosing the wrong ball.

No difference here especially when the players look like the Keystone Cops when they to play intricate football with their feet.
People - including me - have been saying this ever since Eddie rolled up at Etihad.

I don’t remember it happening yet. Admittedly, Ederson has given the ball away with some careless passing, most notably at Klanfield, but not in or very close to his penalty area.
 
Too many pages bring sympathetic to all things rags recently.

Still a few posters upholding the scum or similar lines though.

Remember blues never ever give a sucker an even brake.

SCUM.
Whilst some of your assertions in your in depth analytical piece deserve more discussion, I concur with your final assessment.

It's not a criticism of Ederson at all. It's the way Guardiola wants to play and he is happy with the risk/reward calculation. It's still high risk, though. It will go wrong at some point and Ederson will get blamed because it's his job. Unfairly but that is the way it is, as it was the way it was with de Gea.
 
Sky have put an article up ‘Manchester United’s Decade in the Dark’.

A good hammering of all things rag failure. Worthy of a giggle to squash any pre-semi nerves this morning.

Fuck Sky - just trying to keep the scummy twats relevant.
"Century of Scum" would have been more apt.

Scum.

I can't see how United are going to be able to win this game of football.

Brighton are brimming with confidence, Playing seriously good football. I think Brighton will Out work, Out run and Out play the Rags.

It will be a 2-0, 3-1 comfortable display.
Easy. Every Brighton challenge will be a card, every time the rags touch the ball in their area it'll be a penalty, they'll be immune to the offside law again and they're replacing De Llama and Slabhead with two random coked-up pissheads from the crowd.

Rags to win 3-2.

Its Rodri who has been a little bit sloppy in and around our own box a few times this season which has cost us a few goals.
