I think he's looked good tonight. Some fantastic deliveries and always looking to get involved. Should take on Monreal more though, he'd have the beating of him for pace easily.

Blaming Di Maria and not Smalling not Valencia for their goal reeks of someone who's never played a match in their life.
Brilliant crossing in that half. All round game was much improved too, hopefully he can kick on even further. Still don't really trust him in front of goal and I don't think he does himself at the moment.
He's a player you have in your team for his phenomenal delivery and the absurd amount of chances he creates. Not his possession stat ratio.
Twice dispossessed and one unsuccessful touch according to the stats. Can't say I noticed him losing it too often, a lot less then in recent weeks. His attacking play has been really good IMO. The ball for the cross was brilliant especially.
His tracking back has been non existent today.
True, although his offensive game has been quite good overall.
Smalling sucked out of position in the build up and doesn't get back in, Valencia shitting his pants and panicking jumping into tackles in the middle ... 2 of the back 4 completely out of position. I agree he could have made an effort to get back in, but wouldn't have made a difference by time the ball was released.
They're all to blame. Di Maria didn't bother to do anything and feck knows where Smalling was going.
Alright so far for me, the usual bits of brilliance and the other usual bits of pure awful. Needs to use his right foot and he should have squared that once chance for Wayne instead of trying to shoot. He still doesn't seem to realize he has a fullback behind him to offer support.
Yep, multiple mistakes at the same exact moment.
I guess you didn't see him just stand there and watch Monreal score
This.
He doesn't like physical contact I reckon. Afraid of 50/50.
Exactly
Not cut out for the PL long term I suspect. He's been hiding and he'll be away if he gets half a chance in the summer.
You can't convince me that Di Maria will be the player we want him to be in the EPL, he is a good player but not an EPL player
We might consider selling him if any good winger is available.
Strange game to say this, probably been one of our better players today.
What a moronic thing to do. Utterly utterly stupid.
Hate to say it but he can't have any complaints. Looked like a dive to me and you can't touch the ref.
Can't wait to hear @bosnian_red defend the absolute moron. Joke of a second half from him, culminating in that. Well done Angel, you've done yourself proud.
Not only is he fecking shit, he's also a serial diver and (apparently) a clueless fecking idiot. He's always looked utterly thick like there's nothing between his ears - this just confirms it.
Idiot, what was he thinking?
And one of our worst over the last 3 months.
Prime example there - diving because he's scared of contact. Stupid, petty response. It's too physical for him and he can't hack it.
Stupid of him there. Not a bad performance, but probably prevented us from having a good chance of getting back into the game.
Bring me Nani back all day long
Shit? What are you talking about, He was our most creative outlet in the first half.
Van Gaal needs to take him aside and tell him to stop the diving or going down so easily. You would have thought that Di Maria himself would have realised by now that the refs in this league allow more physical challenges, obviously not...
Idiot.
Get him out of the club. Sick of him lying on the floor for half the match and what he just did straight after receiving a yellow for diving was just bloody stupid.
bring back nani! what an idiot
That was stupid but he was having a good game. I'm not a blind to idiocy, I support him because he's our player instead of jumping on his back to criticise every second.
Valencia's the one who cost us today anyways imo
Got what he deserved. He is diving and getting frustrated as he has lost the confidence in his own play. Pathetic.
I can't be arsed with him. £60m eh?
Thankfully he's suspended now.
PSG, show me the money.
Bit of a contradiction to criticise people for slagging off Di Maria before blaming a player for the result surely?
He will receive a long ban
