It is absolutely painful watching him make poor decision after poor decision. Something is wrong upstairs.

Sometimes it is better to just hold our hands up, accept that it didn't work out and move on. Falcao and ADM have both failed this season (ADM less so, but recently he has been dire).
We don't need to keep playing players just because they cost a lot of money and are on big wages.
I think he may have set a new record for number of times ball given away in a single half.
We also don't need to sell a player immediately after he's had one bad season. Aren't you the guy that's a massive Fellaini supporter?
This guy pisses me right fecking off.
Such a stupid and careless player. Again when he lost the ball, he made little effort to run back.
His terrible but with style, gives the ball away 90% of the time (don't give me that his job is not to keep the ball crap), hope he gets his shit together next season.
Terrible today, kept inviting pressure on us.
He plays on a different wave length to some of our players, always goes for passes that nobody else would even think of chasing. LVG might not like this. Sometimes it can be a killer pass and other times it can look awful. Similiar to a winger out on loan maybe? Anyway, he created our 2nd goal with a peach that nobody else bar maybe Mata could pull off in our side, and also with the ball that led to the penalty that should have made it 3.
I'll repeat myself I don't want him near our midfield three. He plays on the wing or he stays on the bench and with Young and Mata being better than him, he stays on the bench.
He was awful today. I know it was a sub forced by an injury, but he didn't suit the game at all. Maybe he'll learn the league and come good, but away against Liverpool was totally the wrong time!
Got an assist but was awful today really.
His assist was very nice though. Got to do a hell of a lot more.
Well he did well for our second goal but appart from that was rubbish.
But I do remember how our record signing back then (yes the brilliant player who was man of the match today) only a year ago against the same opponent got called all kind of stuff when they trashed us 3-0.
Players don't become shit over night and Di Maria will perform much better (assuming he wants to be here).

The assist was amazing...yes, but i think it was the most obvious thing to do, Mata started the play with the 1,2 and Di Maria reciprocated i don't think it was that spectacular that only him and Mata would have been able to do it.
He's the only player in our team that can pick out passes like that each game regardless of how he's playing. He played lots of beauties into RVP earlier in the season, and the cross for Rooney was unbelievable against Arse.
Rooney had a bad game, Di Maria has been giving us performances like this since the Everton game
Set up a goal, and nearly had another assist off of Rooney. Played the ball that won us the pen.
What are people expecting. A bit sloppy at times yes but one of the most creative players.

Exactly what @Bwuk said.
Not denying that, but 1 or 2 good passes cannot justify a whole half of misplaced ones, he does more harm than good to the team most times and that is a problem.
Yep, it's something that he can certainly curb a bit but we have to allow him to show some creativity or what's the point? Those kind of passes get you goals in big games.
Yes, but then it works both ways. Do you want a player who tries nothing or a player who can create something from nothing?
Great catch over the shoulder, got to admire the judgement on that!
What the hell was he thinking of when he caught the ball with his hands 
?
?It's now between him and Torres for the biggest transfer flop. No wonder Madrid sold him.
Don't even let me get started with Rooney, his performance today was worse than anything by Di Maria this season and to top it he even denied Mata a well deserved hattrick.
I think most of his passes were excellent today, often their was nobody on the end of it, but that was because they were in the wrong position. What annoyed me was that he was taking risks at the wrong moment, inviting pressure when Liverpool started to get their hopes up and United had difficulty keeping posession. In those spells all players should just keep it simple, keep posession and regain control.
He was bad (not Rooney bad), but without his sub we wouldn't have scored 2 (and it should have been 3). Brilliant pass to Mata and Blind for the penalty and it seems that not many players are able to do that in our team, today was just another example where we couldn't produce much and that is the reason why he is so important. I still don't want him to start the next game, our formation right now works and we shouldn't change it imo, but he will be our first sub and can be a game changer and I am still excited to see him in a better/more balanced team in his best position.
I want a player who is consistent, especially someone of his calibre, not one who has 1 or 2 great/good moments in a game and does feck all for the rest of the game, he certainly derailed our attack to an extent, i mean we were better in the first half and against Spurs, but i'm just happy with the 3 points to be honest, i will overlook Di Maria's 2014/15 season and just expect a better player next season.
He was misplacing his easy passes too.
If he were English, people would be questioning whether he was good enough technically. He hasn't looked it so far at United.
People don't realise that this is a player off form yet he's capable of magic as seen today. A lot of people will be eating their words when he clicks.
Awful but in a way that half summed up why he is the right type of player for United. Not many players could have executed that pass to Mata, confidence is low and his decision making is poor but he's worth persevering with. He does look scared to me at times however, pulls out of far too many challenges for my liking.
Won't even try to do some defensive work in his close vicinity, incredibly frustrating.
We looked worse when he came on. Didn't offer the protection defensively that Young did and constantly gave the ball away. Lovely ball for Mata's goal and for Blind for the peno, but apart from that, he was absolutely awful and put us under needless pressure.
Im not saying to sell everyone as soon as they go through a bad patch, but we are talking about a £60m player. He looks a nervous wreck and I am not convinced he has settled here, on or off the pitch.
I'm not saying sell him straight away, but I think he - and Falcao - need to work to earn their places in the team. We nearly threw away 3 points today and we looked a far worse team once ADM came on.
Not sure on the relevance of Fellaini but yes, I am "the guy who supports Fellaini".
Yes he gave away the ball in some cases. However, he also takes the risks that create the goals. Don't forget he picked out Mata perfectly and also put through Blind for that penalty. A bit hit and miss today but he will get better.
Had a great chance on the break when we were 2 on 1 with Rooney in the middle but underhit the cross. His pace is frightening and the dippers literally sat back for 5 minutes after shitting themselves.

I have seen shocking performances from Di Maria this season, Rooney was terrible as i mentioned in his thread, it was a terrible penalty as well, but he was still right to take the penalty regardless... Mata would probably have scored a hat trick if he had taken it, we will never know - there is a reason for a designated Penalty taker - even Messi misses penalties sometimes.
Like I say, something he needs to work on. Not defending his bad passes at all, but a few of those passes are when he expects players to make runs, which worked at Madrid because they had attackers who always made those runs.
This
If you watch how he seen the space and moved to receive the ball of Mata I think you're being a little unfair. He was wasteful today but is low on confidence. He will be awesome when settled properly a genuine top class player imo.
