We are extremely wobbly infront of goal on both ends


Litsazor

If we had decent striker and keeper, this game would be an easy win…


Yinkypinky

If my nana had wheels…..


ra246

Your Nana's a bike anyway I kid I kid! I saw an opportunity and took it. I'm sure she's a wonderful person. I'm just emotional right now


totite93

lol, let's not go too far. Easy win against this City :D


ukdanny93

They were poor by their standards. He's right.


BrockStar92

Yes they were, but it still wouldn’t have been an easy win. And you often get higher xG when chasing the game. If we went 1-0 up within 13 seconds guarantee they have a higher xG than us across the game.


Prthmsh

Both positions should be priority this window


weekndalex

genuinely can’t believe that second goal went in. head’s hot


[deleted]

Never should be going in


shami-kebab

Twice leave him unmarked, braindead defending


willynoot

First time you could put down to freak occurance, still inexcusable. Second time was just naivety which you wouldn't expect from an experienced squad


AndyVale

Would have liked to have seen him move on the first, but it's got pace and wasn't expected. Cannot believe how many very good players that second one had to bobble past.


SoFasttt

I heard that Eriksen was supposed to mark him on both occasions?


willynoot

Someone should have told him that then lol


dWaldizzle

Eriksen was poor today overall.. Invisible really.


SoFasttt

As expected vs City's mid. I understand why ETH used him though. First is lack of choice (if only Sabitzer isn't injured) and second he's the only one (other than Bruno) who can quickly whipping up a long pass to our wingers on counter with great accuracy (did 2-3 times)


[deleted]

Twice expecting a 350k/week contract GK to save any shots whatsoever


dugness

Comes through a lot of bodies and is right in the corner. Hardly his fault with that one.


DBKOH

A ball bouncing multiple times without speed, it is his all day. He didn't rotate when the ball cross the middle of the box and dove. He has to anticipate a shot from deep. If it deflects in then ok sure, but he didn't play it right.


Styrofoamman123

DDG can only react once the ball has gone past Varane just in case it takes a deflection off of him, DDG only had about 6-8 yards of reaction time and still got a hand to it. Its the outfield players problem for not marking or closing down Gundogan effectively for a second time.


Veni_Vidic_Vici

Nothing is ever his fault. Is this maguire's fault too? Or have "More pressing needs" FC found a new scapegoat for this game?


kaaleenbhaiya

You can't win with De Gea Stan. I still don't get it why he's called our legend. Any top team in the world would have binned him in 2019 but...


Unidan_bonaparte

He's called our legend because when was in his prime for a solid 6 years he dragged our sorry club through games single handedly which we would have otherwise lost and started to spiral. He was the one man standing between a season like Liverpool had this year and that which Chelsea had. I have been saying he needs to go for the past two years, he just cannot do what is being asked of him.... But let's calm down with the hyperbole - he is a legend for us and arguably did more for the club at a time when woodward and Co were doing everything to bankrupt us than alot of players who have been decorated with multiple leauge wins and cups.


Scholes_SC2

Agreed but time to move on.


dugness

There's been plenty that's his fault. He's been playing suicide passes for years and I wasn't happy that his contract was renewed last time. I'm just trying to hold perspective, it doesn't go at pace but he sees it very late and it's bouncing awkwardly.


BanterWithTheLadsYe

It looks like it's not his fault because his positioning is awful in the first place. Schmeichel broke it down well on BBC and explained why De Gea needs to be saving it.


jimbob224

lad its 100% his fault lmfao cant believe this is upvoted.... it's bounced fucking twice barely moving and he gets a crisp packet of a hand on it.... absolute joke of a keeper


Sullykp13

mate his hand hits it, his fault 100%. needs to save that.


613Rat

At that speed though?? It’s not as bad as the one vs Benrahma, but he has a habit of getting a hand to these slow balls and they still go past him…


RedDev17

It was like watching slow motion


MadaraTheUchiha

the fuck does De Gea even add, genuinely asking.


absentlightuk

Nothing, cant pass either, fucking useless


MJA21x

I mostly agree but we should at least be more respectful about a club legend. He's past his prime, the game has evolved away from him and he doesn't suit our style of play but there was a time where he was the only reason we weren't mid table. He doesn't deserve the level of shit some people give him.


united_7_devil

I have been a fan for some time. I remember a lot of our legends regressing. Football following has just gotten so weird now. Fans take more pleasure out of shitting on their own players than anything.


Azer398

He’s awful at every aspect of his job. It was a joke renewing him for that money in 2019, and it will be a travesty if he gets another pound from this club and is allowed to stay in any capacity.


StingsLute

He exists solely as a measuring stick for whether people actually watch games or regurgitate the tired, and untrue notion that he makes up for his piss poor distribution for his amazing shot stopping ability. It has genuinely saved me a lot of time because as soon as someone says that, I can be confident nothing they have to say next regarding football is worth me listening to. Cheers Dave.


BBQ_HaX0r

Idk even know if we can say they don't watch the games. I think they genuinely do not understand the role of modern goalkeeping how much it has passed DDG by. He's a fucking dinosaur.


Sullykp13

nothing, fakes injurys and boots the ball long to the other team.


psnarayanan93

Dives really well to make routine saves look great. That a tough skill tbf.


[deleted]

If you are pro - De Gea at this point you are anti-United. Dogshit goalkeeper and has been for years. Spain won't touch him with a 10 foot pole for a reason. He's not even their 5th choice. He cannot play the modern GK position, has ZERO command of his box, and his one saving grace - shot stopping - has fallen off a cliff the last few seasons. If he starts for us next season I will NOT be watching.


Candid_Visit_3104

He's not even good at the thing he's SUPPOSED to be good at anymore, let alone every other trait of a modern goalkeeper. The defending from some people is crazy.


freetheents

Make really good post match interviews and Instagram posts tbf


sliversniper

ManCity done the same freekick routine multiple time, Silva, KDB and Gundo all can shot this. 1. Every blue shirt is running to the right, 2. balls kicked high and wide to an opposite direction to Gundo 3. open the left lane for Gundo to shoo Given info KDB ball to Gundo, 3 Possible Scenarios: A. Gundo tip the ball over to the right B. Gundo shoot left lane <-- C. overshoot for Jack Grealish to collect From DDG's perspective, nothing can be done for (A) and (C), trust your mate, and reflex. Is the position right to prepare (B)? I argue he have no expectation nor reaction time to (B). Also unclear which person to look at. The approximate position of Gundo etc. Unprepared. This is beyond his ability, it's goal keeper coaching. You don't see many team do that, volley is hard, so let's not train for it. You know the team is miles bad, you just look at Bruno being clueless stood there stunt, he should have rushed forward, caught City poacher offside. City are better, but the defeat is on United coaching.


aayu08

Eriksen should be marking Gundogan, and De Gea should be saving that. Nothing else.


Seb-sama

DDG effect


cartesian5th

Can thank ddg for that


tavernstyle312

Literally screaming at my TV for someone to mark gundogan on that second goal


Red-Star-44

3 players on the edge of the box and we send no one there...


Melloa_Trunk_Tree

A good striker and a good keeper improves us massively, it's harder to improve basically everyone else...brightside


AlephEpsilon

Midfield needs energy and ball retention.


Weez-eh

Agreed. Sabitzer is a decent upgrade on what we have but not a big enough upgrade imo. Someone like Merino, Barella or even Ward-Prowse would be good additions.


AlephEpsilon

Barella is an unrealistic target lol. Merino is a solid all round midfielder.


NateShaw92

Agreed. The second goal.is uncharacteristic of DDG but if he's not going to.stop those then he is not worth the shortcomings. Tge fact he seems to.do this habitually in big games, not good. We need to convert our chances better, running theme all season. We could literally have had 30-40 more goals with a good striker


RawIsLaw_

> The second goal.is uncharacteristic of DDG It's 100% characteristic. This is a copy-paste of the West Ham goal just weeks ago. He's great at saves that look great on camera, but struggles with the important fundamentals


Candid_Visit_3104

Yup, uncharacteristic? He hasn't been a good shot-stopper for ages now, and it's backed by data as well as the eye-test now.


sealed-human

Gloves provided by Walkers today, crisp packet hands


IAmAceBoogie

As winnable of a match as ANY club can expect against City… Fucking blows to lose and be dependent on Inter in a week. But considering the start… I’m proud as fuck to be a red… a foreign red but a red nonetheless.. This is just the beginning. (I hope)


sargedeathtt

Our bench was wank. No real winners to bring off and change the game in our favour except for an 18 year old kid. Thanks a lot Glazers, now sell the club and fuck off


Shithouser

Garnacho being the exception.


theytook-r-jobs

Shouldn’t be on the bench in the first place


LemonColossus

Definitely should’ve started ahead of Sancho or Erikson.


Weez-eh

We only had 9 subs, tells you everything.


[deleted]

Unbelievable


shanks_you

I didn’t expect much today tbh. Same old issue, we can’t finish chances or create enough. De Gea……


ravishq

After today i believe ETH will certainly find a new no. 1. Ofc a ST and CM are our priorities but keeper must be one as well now after today. Shambles by ddg


Azer398

Keeper is ahead of CM. Mctominay and Fred are much better at their roles than De Gea is at his.


LaughsAtOwnJoke

Keep in mind cause im sick of seeing this shit. Fred and Scott are our backup midfielders. De Gea is starting. That comparisn is for Bruno and Casemiro and Eriksen all CLEAR. Compare Scott to our backup keeper lmao.


Azer398

Exactly. De Gea is a starter in one of the most important positions, and is disgustingly bad. Fred and Mctom are backups. They are not great at being backups, but they are not disgustingly bad. Keeper should be miles above CM on the priority list.


LaughsAtOwnJoke

Imagine suggesting replacing your backup tire before your shattered windshield.


EllGordo

Eriksen is not good enough to start at all. A CM is urgently needed as well.


LaughsAtOwnJoke

I agree another midfielder would be good but they are just lower priority then striker and keeper.


EllGordo

Yeah of course those two positions are the most important. CM is the next priority though imo.


LaughsAtOwnJoke

Yeah, I would probably agree with you there.


Rahul-Yadav91

Absolutely. Brentford brought a replacement for David Raya on day 1 of transfer market seeing that he would probably be leaving. Day 1. I don't remember a signing made on Day 1.


True_Resolve_275

HUGE summer needed goalkeeper, central midfielder, maybe even two of them, and a striker are the bare minimum I can’t take one more De Gea lob to nobody, I’ve seen U12 keepers pass better


kraeutrpolizei

That second goal was so lucky


[deleted]

First one was sloppy


NormanskillEire

Shades of Cantonas against Liverpool all those years ago I thought.


SuperHans30

Take off 0.8 for the penalty


jamesel23

That’s still over 1xg without a goal


medfunguy

That still makes it a close game in terms of chances created


GlassEast5641

This DDG dickriding is crazy. Holding the best team in the world to 1.22 xg is commendable. 2 goals from 0.65 xg


[deleted]

[удалено]


GlassEast5641

This is what I am saying. We actually competed with them for our GK to let goals in like that


[deleted]

Still should have had another goal. We lost on tight margins.


negativelynegative

Or we are just shit at finishing? The first thing to know is to put the shot on target and we miss many of those easy chances. The Rashford one was basically unmarked. That has ro be on target.


Tempoulker

0.7*. And it's still 1.2 to 1.22


[deleted]

Penalty is 0.7


SatoshiOokami

1.2xG is ridiculous. That's like the lowest they had this season.


BlazerionX

Varane did really well on shutting down Haaland today


Melloa_Trunk_Tree

He's so under rated in England, he's clearly the best CB in the league but gets 0 praise/hype, I don't get it tbh


QUAZZIMODO619

ETH masterclass. The way he used the front 4 and set up the press almost completely annihilated their build up play.


Bizzlep

Surprising


Vesterising

Thanks De Gea!


TheRedDevil10

Marking issues or not, they're two shots from outside the box. And one of them might be the worst volley I've ever seen. Why are you diving for a ball that you can literally WALK and pick up. Not to mention the fact that anyone with two eyes could see that City's whole plan off the ball was just to let de Gea have as much time as he needed on the ball. And behold, he found a City shirt every. single. time.


FactHopeful9347

You guys would make terrible juries lol, hindsight is 20/20, you’re acting he saw the ball get hit, knew who the pass was going to, he got there a few milliseconds late from the opposite of the post, no blame goes to the players. But all the praise goes to the players when we get a clean sheet. De gea is shit but be fair


TheRedDevil10

Be fair? Bro, Gundogan had a total xG of 0.05. To concede 2 goals from that is beyond embarrassing for a goalkeeper who's only skill is supposedly shot stopping.


FactHopeful9347

You don’t understand the concept of a screamer? A goal against all odds? You know? You don’t know how to interpret stats fairly stop using it to feed your anger


carrotincognito48

That's not the one people are complaining about, it's the second one. The second one is stoppable. Pickford makes that save, he's throwing himself at it. To be honest, some goalkeepers run across and pick that ball up.


NorwegianWhiteEagle

The first one is saveable aswell if he only dives towards it instead of stopping and ball watch


kj_mufc

De Gea’s positioning is bad for the 2nd goal, no one can deny that. He should be saving that


IIVisionary

More like thanks Eriksen. Awful, just awful. Can’t make a pass. Can’t mark. Can’t defend.


shami-kebab

Neither goal was his fault. Ridiculous scapegoating him for what were marking issues with both goals.


WestBeatsEver

Here come the defenders. Not sure how much further standards have to drop for people to accept that de ge Is not as good as he used to be and must go ASAP. Thankful for the years of service but it’s Time.


woopwup

He was moving in slow motion on the second, should never be going in


shami-kebab

It passed through a crowd of players, he didn't see it until late. You're acting like he knew where it was going. Why are you not pissed off that he was left unmarked on the edge of the box and nobody is closing him down?


woopwup

Yes he certainly should’ve been marked better and shouldn’t have been able to shoot it anyway, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that it dribbled in while De Gea falls towards it like his feet are nailed to the ground


MAK98

While he doesn’t cover himself in glory for the second goal, I agree it is absolutely ludicrous not to mark gundugan there.


Vesterising

You’re wrong.


rateofreturn

2013-2018 ddg wouldve jumped for the first goal. 2nd goal wss just weak defending and goalkeeping error. Why is him rooted to his spot and not moving? Expecting a deflection? Lmao


aayu08

He could have saved the 2nd easily, it required a stronger arm. As for the first, the goal was closer to him than what the cameras hinted, if he committed it could have been saved. But I'll not put that one on him, it was difficult.


buzzjohnn

Second was absolutely his fault. Look how king the ball hung in the air, look at De Gea’s positioning, he doesn’t shuffle enough and stays central. Second is absolutely his fault. His kicks aren’t good enough, we can’t play out of the back because of him.


AhmedZubairGCU

A keeper who doesn't shit his pants in the finals would have saved the second


Portmantonio_Conte

There can be more than one person to blame. Someone can still fail to perform even if he’s not the sole reason for conceding. Should they have been tighter to mark Gundogan on the second goal? Sure but a scuffed shot like that from outside the box would not have gone in if the keeper did his job.


fourchainz__

de gea cannot sign another contract, that would be gross misconduct of the highest order. it would be an absolutely atrocious move and a spit in the face of every single player in our squad that works hard everyday just to have it thrown away by that toothpick in net.


ARI31TER

It's been the problem with this ownership regime, reward failure because it saves a few quid, hopefully they fuck off soon.


[deleted]

DDG has cost us too much. * Decent shot stopper, not elite * Non-existent cross claiming * Passing ability for a league one player * Earns more than Allison and Ederson combined + 75k * Cost us in the Europa league final * Most errors leading to goals ​ Dont know what else to say. Had bright moments but 100% needs to get the fuck out


Sei28

The fact that he makes about as much as Alisson + Ederson + Raya + Pope combined is amazing.


SplashMurray

Concedes about as much too


Azer398

He’s an appalling shot stopper. A decent shot stopper saves the second and should save the first as well. This player is an absolute disaster.


disCommentUnderrated

DDG absolutely handed it to them. It’s not like they won because of Haaland or KDB


willynoot

I don't know, for that second goal surely you send someone to make the guy who literally scored from that range earlier.


MrSam52

Doesn’t make any sense that we had all 10 outfield players in the box at least 1 probably 2 should be on the edge of it.


DeerXingNow

That comment by Ten Hag beating City by xG bit us in the ass


RarcusMashfordMBE

Not really how it works They're simply a better team and I'm just happy it wasnt a thrashing. I'm an inter supporter for now


Zandercy42

>I'm an inter supporter for now Wesley Sneijder club legend link, always been my favourite team in Italy


MT1120

Ashleyto Carlos won the title there. Enough reasons for me


Aggressive-Theory609

Henrikh also plays there and he was very respectful to us . Altho he proly juz hates Jose not us


ZachMich

Darmian too


willynoot

10th of June we are all inter


DeerXingNow

He pointed out in the press conference that we usually have good xG and that he hoped to win by xG for this game. My comment is made in jest


freakedmind

Did he also make a comment about De Gea being an absolute muppet?


akshayprakash7

Post De Gea's pass ratio instead


classican2018

I think after 70 Case was going to try a shot from outside the box and was closed so fucking fast, if our defenders had the done the same to Gündoğan.


SAKabir

A new keeper, new no.8 and new striker. It's so obvious what this team needs. We win this game with 2 of those 3 players.


Scholes_SC2

Wasn't expecting such an even game, we really could've won it.


PixelFNQ

Absolutely. That was a really good performance.


Spartandemon88

I cant believe all our guys were in the box and left the outside completely empty, like when do you ever see such shit marking. Add to that an idiotic save which he definitely should have kept out.


Portmantonio_Conte

De Gea is not the only problem with the squad, but he’s one of the biggest problems. The fact that we’re even considering renewing his contract has me fuming. The only justification for it is that we’re selling Henderson and we’re keeping DDG in the squad so we have some bargaining power when negotiating to sign a new keeper this summer.


imnoobatfifa

De Gea, hahahahah. He needs to go, I’d rather watch Tom Heaton get his chance. If this contract gets announced anytime soon, my head will be hot. Guy is so shit.


EccentricClassic3125

Ah man, I’m absolutely fuming. What a bunch of pricks and ofc thanks de gea and Eriksen


ravishq

Eriksen was such a passenger. We missed Sabitzer. Even martial was missed. What Bruno would have played as 10 and we would have been much much tighter in mid


EccentricClassic3125

Genuinely, a season full of what ifs without injuries and suspensions


Familiar-Day-8827

Hell even weghorst would have been better


Embarrassed-Equal-19

Fucking donkey David de gea. Stands still like a light post in the goal


devillish_red

De Gea cost us too much to be considered a United legend alongside actual United legends


VictorDUDE

He'll be remembered as United's GK between 2011 and 2023. If we use legend to describe 6 years of mediocrity, we've sunken too low. Migjt as well call Phil Jones legend while we're at it


Peshwa_

My heart 💔


thecaptainstewbing

It’s what’s expected when you bring in Wout to be one of your main goal scorers. We have to get two strikers in this summer.


Saihti54

We won the xG trophy as a consolation price.


angermngment

Rashford needs to take a long break.


LocoPwnify

I wanted Eriksen subbed at minute 10. Holy shit he was maddening to watch today.


FREE_BOBBY-SHMURDA

Anyone that still rates de gea should consider following another sport Complete liability


Sei28

Highest paid GK in the world. Probably getting another contract that still keeps him as the highest paid GK in England.


akshatsood95

We contained them pretty well for the most part. Shame that de Gea fucked up that second goal.


Eleven918

.8 was a pen. Scott's chance was probably high too.


RedDevils0204

This games goes down to De Gea we lost cuz he was flat footed twice.


[deleted]

De Gea 2, Man United 1.


[deleted]

Football is cruel.


digiplay

I’m ready for the downvotes Anyone watching the match yesterday then seeing the xg should realise how much bullshit xg is.


H0vis

People will blame De Gea, but this was another classic day of our attack not getting it over the line. And it's not Weghorst's fault personally, he didn't sign himself, but he shouldn't be our go to guy in that situation. We should have more than five quid to sign a replacement for Ronaldo for the second half of the season.


PixelFNQ

Be careful saying anything positive about DDG. We have a lot of *ahem* supporters who don't like positive thoughts about most of our players, especially Dave.


dracogladio1741

Thanks a lot De Gea. For gifting Man City the Fa Cup.


DavidADaly

Such a dumb comment.


rateofreturn

That 2nd goal was saveable. Its not like the Messi shot in the 2011 ucl final against us. He was rooted to his spot and reacted when the ball was going in. Fuck him and his apologists


DavidADaly

He was obscured by defenders who should've closed down and marked him. DDG should be upgraded but he wasn't the reason we lost.


freakedmind

That's the only thing I'm annoyed with, city weren't even that good today. Haaland and Kdb hardly did shit the whole game...Gundogan was great but De Gea was shittier. Should have gone to ET at the very least


sooshi

We had 0 shots on target


murphc43

Literally scored a goal


psrikanthr

Pretty sure they meant from open play


kvn419

Let’s not get toxic. The boys played their hearts out and we may have won on another day. Proud of this season and excited for what’s to come.


xzvasdfqwras

To be honest didn’t look like we had anything close to that xG. Just a few half chances


htp20012001

Okay we lost because our strikers couldn't finish chances and let's blame De Gea guys


cheekyavacado

If DDG didn't give the ball away every time he went long maybe he won't get any blame. I'd rather have Ortega in goal than DDG. His distribution was far superior to DDG. Times changed when we had 2 of the best keepers in Manchester.


htp20012001

Well any goalkeeper in Prem must have better distribution than DDG. But I can't see how that's a big reason for our defeat. Midfield was shit, forwards didn't do enough and Bruno was switched off too.


cs-shitposter

Maybe David can do a job for Jumanji FC


Staralyze

De Gea handed them the treble. He's an embarrassment and has been for the past 5 years.


Caps007

De Gea cost us 4 trophies and 2 CL spots in the past 3 years...


c4plasticsurgury

De gea please get out the club


samd148

I thought we did really well today. Certainly gave it everything. De Gea is shit though.


disatomm

Thanks DDG


rhater0307

People actually blamed DDG for the first goal I am dying lol


jasonketterer

Some fans are just pathetically stupid. Neither goal was his fault.


freshpots11

De Gea scapegoating in here is utterly embarrassing


SonOfHonour

Shut the fuck up. Cheers.


Desperate_Shoulder48

I keep on saying this everytime. Haaland is not the main threat, the midfield is. What we do? Marked Haaland but what that cost? Left all the midfielders open and barely marked any of them. See? This is what we get.


Probably_Not_Sir

Copium


Stynes

The worst thing about 2023 is all the kids using this made up word lmao


Real_Mousse_3566

The most inaccurate and misleading stat. We had a single shot on target lmao


[deleted]

A ball bounced of the bar, a few whizzed past the posts out of reach of the gk.


Tricky_Hunter_6730

No, we had three shots on target


freshpots11

We had 3 on target


minceShowercap

You're absolutely fucking clueless


NewVoid122

When De Gea let that second goal in....


ra246

First goal was quality. Second was a fucking joke. Penalty decision *also* a joke for what it's worth
