I really expected more from him today. Replacing Shaw with Blackett didn't help him but still very disappointing cameo.
 
Di Maria had a great season with Madrid, he should never be criticised, he gets a pass.

Who are we to talk ill about a player that was great in the CL final, criticise the whole squad except Di Maria - it's a new league and a new country ( for Sanchez too).
Eh? He didnt even start today. This sounds like a bunch of children who want to moan.
 
He done little wrong today. Blackett was very poor which didnt help him
 
A bit shit today but accusations of him lacking team ethic or not working hard are obviously bollocks.
 
Ashley Young done feck all during the game. Mata created nothing. We looked instantly more dangerous going forward when Di Maria was on.
 
Di Maria was fantastic when he come on. It was Blackett's fault everything he fecked up.

Blackett is not a United quality player. He'll never make it here. Really did kill the left hand side when he came on. Thought Shaw was fantastic today and he could really strike a good partnership with Di Maria, as could Blind.
 
Still looks the most likely to make things happen despite poor form and lack of match rhythm. Should just be played whenever available and hopefully play him into form like Fergie used to do with Rooney a lot.

Shaw when he is fully fit will be amazing, he hasn't been at all this season and was getting knackered before he got pulled off it seemed.
 
Chelsea - World Class player - moment of brilliance, game winner/changer.

United - World Class player - can barely beat his man.

But somehow I'm not meant to point that out because he has 10+ assists and 4+ goals

Blackett should not be in our squad, totally agree, never been impressed with him and he looks shite in the U21 even. Not easy for Di Maria after Shaw went off.
 
Having Shaw overlap would have helped him. They just double teamed every time he got the ball. Blackett was useless in that role. No overlaps what so ever.
 
Are you 5 years old? Calm down and post once you've gotten the red mist out of your eyes.
Whatever... Just sick of him trying to run past a defender and giving away the ball and then not tracking back (that's the worst bit). Just get shut in the summer.
 
Blackett wasn't good at all today to be fair to Di Maria.

Was an OK cameo from ADM. Moments of gold and moments of "what?". He needs to do put in a good cameo to start ahead of Young still.
 
He wasn't fantastic at all. That long ball to a marked Valenica was the most brain dead decision I've seen on a footy pitch.

What did you think of Herrera's attempt to assist their second?

Or Rooney losing the ball at every other "Hollywood" pass?

I have been critical of Shaw but today I was very impressed and he seems to have improved massively going forward.

Young offered nothing today. Can't keep putting a player on the bench and expecting them to work miracles when they get 15-20 minutes per match.

He's clearly had a tough year settling in England and English football. He hasn't been the player he can be but he's still been very productive, something we always seem to praise Rooney for (but first touch but gets a goal etc). I think he's a cracking player but he'll be that for us only if he settled properly. I personally hope he stays and that happens.

Eithe way stuff like "he's shit" is childish and really unproductive.

Dude, you need to go to specsavers...

Are you able to generate opinions of your own? Did you forget when he was the furthest man back tracking Drogba(?) and stopped them from creating a goal?
 
A few good forward passes into the box. He was doubled/tripled up on at times whilst Blackett looked like he was playing his first game of football ever. Not much he could do really. I'd like to see him start against Everton with Shaw behind him.
 
Blackett didnt help him out at all, its true. Still I just feel that ADMs decision making and passing/final ball seems really sloppy.
 
Start him and Shaw next week on the left please. He needs to play a game from the start to see if he can influence it more.
 
He has to start games. Pretty sure that he will get back to his old form - you can see glimpses of his Quality in every game.

I disagree. There's no doubt that Di Maria gives you more end product than Young. Therefore in a team that controls games but sometimes doesn't create enough chances with that dominance, he should clearly be starting. Admittedly you might lose a little bit of that control and comfort in keeping possession but it's worth it to become a more dangerous side on the attack. We'd still dominate most teams in the possession anyway.
