Was it De Gea’s best performance for 5 years? Yes Did he do anything more than an average PL GK would be expected to do? No Any other GK would not be praised for that performance, it’s literally the basics. He needs replacing asap with someone who can do this every week.

Maguire’s form since the start of last season is good Varane, Licha & Lindelof have all made humiliating mistakes in awful defeats The difference is everyone ignores them Everyone is just hyper-focussed on everything Maguire does, it’s all confirmation bias

@simonhfootball The centre-halves have nothing to do with Man Utd’s structure The difference is the midfield dropping deep to leave no room in the middle instead of EtH’s usual system with 5 up front and no midfield

He is literally copying the Solskjaer play-book but everyone acts like he’s a genius because he was Pep’s assistant and the media love Arsenal

It’s quite telling that Henderson played 26 games in 20/21 and Mark can only make ONE “error” where he got his positioning a bit wrong in a 1v1 I can name about 10 De Gea errors since Christmas

Mark I’m glad we sorted what happened previously but what is this 🤣 Dean Henderson had a very good 20/21 season with United. And did you mention sweeping as if it’s a negative? There is a major spotlight on United’s GK spot, but there’s so much room for improvement.

@OddsOnFPL Solskjaer was ruthless, just nothing came out in public There were stories that he absolutely tore into the players in the dressing room but defended them to the media That’s not being a soft-touch Ole’s authority was undermined when CR7 signed and he was told he had to play

Can you imagine the reaction if Solskjaer had given a 35-year old, injury-prone CB, former Utd player, with 2 relegations since leaving the club, a short-term contract to go on tour with Utd?

It’s not about the 30 g/a, Rashford could’ve put up the same numbers as this season but ran his heart out every week and the majority of the fan base would applaud him and appreciate him for it. Abuse is NEVER ok. But criticism over effort levels is warranted this season.
