sne Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Fwiw De Gea was Spain's best player on the pitch before he got injured yesterday against Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think they have every possible deal going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romero must have played about 4 games in the last 3 years whilst De Gea has been first choice for both Man Utd and Spain. I would imagine De Gea, should he leave Man Utd, will go on to be first choice keeper at another big club. Romero won't.

Martial is interesting case. Got injured v Palace on August 23rd and at time it was said he'd be out for a week or two, certainly back after September international week. Only came back to full training yesterday. Of course it might've been a worse injury than reported but seems odd United didn't just say he'd be out for about six weeks if that was the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romero was fairly solid in their cup games last season, one goal conceded away to Chelsea and Arsenal. Think he was also the main keeper when they won Uefa cup in 2017. He does throw in the odd clanger for Argentina. His limitations would probably show if he has to play 10 league games straight but he's pretty decent to come into games now and then.

Demitri_C Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Allegri being lined up to take over as united are planning to sack solsjaker according to reports. Not really a shock. Solsjaker was always going to be disaster. Allegri woukd be a great appointment for them although I don't think united fans will be very happy with his ultra negative football.

Genie Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I see sports bible have the head tapping meme “can’t concede 5-6 goals to Liverpool if you don’t play”... Not just us thinking it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2019 There was talk that they basically were going to let Solksjaer hang on until the back end of the season, and then let him take the can for the shit season and the new manager have 2 months to either get a new coach bounce or to have a few games to get the squad used to the new regime going into the summer with the excuse of the season being a right off to deflect criticism if they don't click right away. Or they just get rid of him now because everyone and his dog knows he's a dead man walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw would be a great result, we need to get to January with them picking up points here and there. A win for Utd would be ideal though as that papers the cracks, the glory hunters will take that all day long. I want them to give him loads in January to spend on rubbish.

Regardless of whether they decided to keep him on Solskjaer wouldn't have much say in January. They know he's done. The work they do in Jan will be with a view to whoever is coming in afterwards, and the rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I found this hilarious. Danny Mills did a Man Utd and Lvierpool combined eleven with no Man Utd players included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current players have been devalued by amazing amounts in the last 12 months. Who wants to go there in Jan when Solskjaer is still there ? They will need quite a few quid and high wages as they always get ripped off these days. They will probably try and nick Mcginn &/or Grealish. We can deal but its 115 m each to utd as a minimum. A few bad results + injuries and we could all be having a right good xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has been, though. He's made more mistakes than usual but has generally been decent. Their defence as a unit has taken an utter nosedive though. To demonstrate, last season, only Neil Etheridge (relegated Cardiff) and Lukas Fabianski (West Ham) faced more shots on target than De Gea in the league. De Gea faced 184 shots. Without going as far as Liverpool and Man City, even decent enough teams' goalies faced way less - say, Pickford and Schmeichel (143 each). The Man Utd defence is just nowhere near strong enough. This season hasn't been quite the same - although De Gea has the 6th best save:shot ratio in the league (Lloris is top - he's made a few mistakes too, but generally been decent). It's the problem with being a goalkeeper. People remember the mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the problem with being a goalkeeper. People remember the mistakes. Lloris has declined way more than De Gea. He's not at his imperious level from a few seasons ago but he's still a very good keeper. I'd have him over Heaton any day for example and I rate Heaton. I can't say the same for Lloris though.

Give him a free pass to look at the squad for the remainder of the season (I suspect he will improve a load of their younger players) then give him a war chest in the summer.
