I do think that defensive positions had been the main culprit of our leaked goals, and not all the blame on goalkeepers.

Regarding Lindegaard and de Gea, Lindegaard definitely looks solid but played poorly in the game. Still rate de Gea better than Lindegaard tho, his 1-on-1 is far better IMO.

And didn't think that he will conceded more than Lindegaard in the game.

lindegaard conceed goals de gea oso kena really kecian aduiii

Anderson out again. Don't know whats gonna happen next. Sound like we really need to sign another cm.

wonder all the goals we conceded from corner..is it evans fault?

julio cesar for united???experience indeed.

How long will Anderson be out?

Just when he's been doing so well.

Just saw this. Time to replace Ando with this loveable chap

Not only our national team manage to beat one of it's biggest rival in modern history of football, all the top teams draw/lose, we won, so I'm very happy with it.



See what I did there?

experienced, maybe still world class, but look at where qpr is now

Yesterday Rob Green play isn't it? What happen to JC

injured lor

Don't you know, it's the Ando's cycle. Play well >>> Gets injured >>> Out of form. Repeat.

DDG is already a good 'keeper now anyway. So, I guess in long terms, DDG is a better shot as he could still improve. IMHO, obviously, he just needs to improve his decision making during set pieces. Shot stopping
and 1-on-1 he is more than good enough already. Still very young, and the prospect of him improving more, DDG is the right investment.

How can we go to MC next week playing like this
Defence seriously needa Buck up

Lol damn why wasn't he like this

I don't think Lindergaard made any mistake that lead to the goals last night, but having said that, he did play poorly last night. Our defense, apart from Rio and maybe Evra, played quite poorly last night. Evans had almost a nightmarish game, especially dealing with crosses and high balls last night which is weird considering he played well so far. Same with Rafael, but like any other players, it was just one of those off days. Plus United were beaten mostly through high balls. That was the main reason for the subs.
As much as I love Fletcher, he is still playing like a passenger. His marking of Le Fondra(?) was terrible, which led to the easy free header goal. He is getting there, hopefully he will be back to his normal form, if not his best form.
United doesn't have problems scoring, it is the defense that scares me this season.
FACHT (a'la Benitez ): In 15 games this season, United already conceded 21 goals. In 08/09, United conceded 24 goals, all season

Added on December 2, 2012, 11:54 amSorry but anders got nightmare last night. For goallie who been said that he much better than de gea in handling crosses and stuff well last night it wasn't the case. No much better than de gea.

Mancini is licking his finger after watching our match...

no doubt in the BPL ci'y remain unbeaten at etihad since last season, but ManUtd kicked them out of FA cup at etihad too. the only team who had beaten them at home is ManUtd & hope we could break their BPL unbeaten records next week.

Glory-glory ManUtd.

i expect any GK to be commanding when dealing with set pieces, especially corners

we can't defend solely with defenders - GK is supposed to help out

although we defended badly - we could do with a more vocal and commanding GK who is confident and will come out to punch the ball away, etc

at the moment sadly neither DDG or Lindegaard is the 'vocal' type

not saying that they are bad GK - but they just need to take a leaf out of VDS' book

anderson got hamstring injury, possibly 2-3weeks, or more.. carrick-cleverley combo are not bad for city game. if saf want to play a save game, fletcher probably will be in the mix..

agreed, lindergaard having a bad game. not entirely his fault though. defending setup against corner are poor.. i hope saf restore ddg for next 2 games. ddg possibly will have a great test against cluj, just because we'll play a 2nd string. lindergaard is good, his also have some serious problems handling a crosses and corners..

quite a masterstroke from saf, hauling off rafael at 30min mark. add height and avoid possibility 2nd yellow card.

our attacking force are brilliant, anderson probably is a big factor..
