Not suggesting his crossing was poor but it could have been a lot better. The goal was a perfect delivery from that angle and distance but his actual crosses from wide areas I thought didn't have enough pace and were floated a little too much. Again, not saying he was poor in that aspect but I think he can do far better.
Meh, re watching the game now and pretty much all his crosses, even though the majority didn't get to a red shirt, were all in dangerous positions. Noticed it at Madrid too though, his crossing was always great. It's just more noticeable when you go from young always hitting it out for a goal kick, Valencia into the defender or nani doing who knows what, to di Maria just being world class.
 
Just seen this on youtube comments of all places:

I heard there was a secret chord,
That Woodward played and it pleased the board
But then he fecked it up with Thomas Müller
But wait, who's this,
With goals, assists?
Gave Ed a call, he could not resist
Said Woodward come and get me Di Mariaaaa!
Di Mariaaaaaaaaaaaa
Di Mariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaa

:lol:
 
:( He's amazing, isn't he? Really glad for him though, hope he'll have a great season with you guys.

Florentino can do one.

If you want to toss us a Modric or Varane this way next Summer, that would be much appreciated :angel:
 
He's simply awesome. Watching him running at, and beating, players from the left wing reminded me of Giggs and a bit of Ronaldo as well. The guy just oozes quality in everything he does. Attacking wise he can do it all and his stats back that up. It's also nice to see him willing to be involved at both ends of the pitch and showing confidence on the ball. He cost a lot but it looks like this is a great investment.

We've suffered through some appalling wing play for long enough. Now our attack is well on it's way to being feared again.

:lol: feck off!
What's Goldberg doing in Manchester?

I thought you(not you personally) were silly ditching Ozil, but the team moved from strength to strength.

This is still completely baffling.
Yeah, I was hoping the same scenario would repeat itself again but we've turned into a shower of shite.

Altough I do think that we might have survived selling only Di Maria, but selling both him and Alonso has destroyed our team. We lack any sort of cohesion right now.

I was certain when Alsonso left that you were binging in a younger player who could do what he done for the team.

We should have brought in Koke, I feel he would be pretty perfect for us right now. Altough playing for AM he'll probably make a stop gap somewhere else for a season or two before considering us.

I'm sure we'll be looking for an established CM/DM in Januari. But that's for another thread.
 
Assist for Mata was a cross, his body shape look like he meant to cross it. He just hit it hard so that the defenders don't have much time to intercept it

? You seriously think he will join you guys? I know loyalty doesn't mean much in football these days but he really seems to be Atletico through and through. Even rejected Barca this season, will probably end up with them anyway, but I would be willing to bet my house he won't play for you.
 
With a footballer of Di Maria's quality, so long as you get him on the ball the formation is almost irrelevant.
Been saying this aswell. I'm pretty sure if you'd play him on the wing he'd put on performances like that on a weekly basis, which his game against Germany sort of proved.

The area you need him in the most right now is midfield though.

"But for that amount of money we could have bought a bunch of youngsters who might go on to be good in a few years time. Our identity!!!!"


A performance that justified the reasons for spending big on him.

Meh, you're probably right, money talks though. Wouldn't be the first player to change his mind seeing a big fat cheque with his name on it.

.

Yup, never understood it either. How does a player that can present those figures gets criticized and called a coward? Especially when the whole team is playing horrendous with a handful of players that weren't fit to lace his boots? I thought it was pretty obvious that the problem wasn't him? I'll put it down to frustration I guess, seeing as I'll probably hound out Ronaldo with a pitchfork myself if we don't start winning soon!

Or Ronnie :drool::angel:
 
Just have to say that I love this guy. Thank you Real Madrid!
Remember that when we'll certainly come knocking in the future for that young Belgian lad, Januari or what's his name. Might be mixing it up with the month we'll take him home down south, not sure. ;)

Hmmmm, you seem a tad confused about him, would you even recognise him? But sure, we'll send him your way. 10m. Fair deal.

Puts Young in post, with Belgian flag....

:lol: You'd probably have been able to pull it off with our previous presi, Calderon. He was an incredible tool.
 
It was surreal seeing him celebrate his goal in united colours. He's actually ours :devil:

If Januzaj can fulfill his potential, I'm almost 100% sure that the league is ours to lose next year. Two incredible dribblers on both sides :drool:

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer Young and Valencia...? ;)
 
His pass to Mata was superb - didn't see his goal or his other assists, but that pass was brilliant.

Some quality players have been brought into the PL this season - Fabregas, Costa, Di Maria and Sanchez are all going to take the league by storm.
 
Shit celebration. Sell him.
Really? I loved the celebration personally, he was clearly delighted it went in and all. Much rather those then when a player just stand there and acts tough (only cantona can pull this off).
 
Very good game from him. You can easily tell he is a world class player, and watching his work rate is great. The man appears everywhere on the pitch. Best bit about it is really there is far more to come. At the moment he still isn't playing at his best I feel. Quite a few simple mistakes at times that do take away from his game. I think LVG did mention this as well. Once he has fully settled in those should go though. Very happy we have him here.
