Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [13th - 15th August 2011]

[Robbo]

Well Lindegaard always looked pretty decent and I don't think he's made any errors since he joined.

 

[Azza]

Ouch. looks like the big gea struggles to get down low quick due to his height?

lol what? Van der Sar is taller than him. He just seems to be amazingly slow getting to the ground. It's rather weird how slow he looks.

 

[Dickyb0b]

keeper is way to slow , he should be subbed

 

[Cosimo]

Now we have a game.

 

[Nate75]

He'll come good, but that was poor - didn't expect the shot to come in. Wonder if Fergie will stick by him from now on, or drop him to make him work harder?

He'll stick with him. I think he'll take a few games to settle. It's difficult (impossible maybe) to fill VDS's boots...

 

[joxang]

Someone said that De Gooey had the poorest stats in La Liga for shots from distance.

 

[One More Solo]

He's shorter than Van der Sar. Clueless as usual!

Stick by him definitely, he'll come good.

 

[One More Solo]

Gah, normal away service is resumed, it only took conceding one goal!

 

[Shamikebab]

*sigh*

 

[utajoker]

de gae should be claiming that :/

 

[The Running Man]

That doesn't matter that sarr was bigger he just has better ability to get down. de gea doesn't have that ability and the height means he struggles, do you understand?

 

[Azza]

Someone said that De Gooey had the poorest stats in La Liga for shots from distance.

He conceded the most goals from shots outside of the area last season in La Liga.

I don't know the exact numbers so can't say if it's a massive difference between him and who ever is second, third etc.

 

[syke]

Good stop there by De Gea though!

 

[Azza]

That doesn't matter that sarr was bigger he just has better ability to get down. de gea doesn't have that ability and the height means he struggles, do you understand?

Do you understand that you initially just solely blamed his inability to get down quickly because he is 6'4", nothing to do with his general ability to get down quickly.

 

[The Running Man]

Yes because he has bad technique that hinders his ability which is compounded by his height.

 

[Stewy]

WE SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT ALMUNIA!!!!!11

 

[Dickyb0b]

i can't see utd winning this season with this keeper, many goals are going to go passed him.

 

[Azza]

Yes because he has bad technique that hinders his ability which is compounded by his height.

His height has nothing to do with it.

 

[Shamikebab]

I'm still not sure about starting Welbeck, I don't think he's offering us a great deal.

 

[explicit4u]

How do you pronounce De Gea? Everyone seems to pronounce is different!
