Match comp is up.
De Gea is good too.
I bet that Di Maria was excited that we obviously wanted him so bad (the massive fee is the evidence for that) after Madrid jerked him around and he figured it was safe to sign for us even with how poor we've been post-Fergie since we have Rooney, Van Persie, Mata, Herrera, Rojo and De Gea who he's played with or against, but that our current standard of football is shocking.
DDG isn't included as a GK is such a different player to the rest.
The moment he went off - our chance to get a goal in the game disappeared! That just shows the difference in class between di maria and the rest of shite out there.
He will get dragged down to the rest of their levels after a few games, it happened with Mata, it'll happen with him.
I missed the first half. Some of those passes are just 
He just has that RVP circa 2012 quality look about him.
He just has that RVP circa 2012 quality look about him.I am afraid of this aswell. Which is why, I stated that Van gaal needs to make some changes to our starting eleven and makes last minutes quality midfield buys. I do not care much about blind, but we should have panic bought William Carvalho and Vidal or kovacic.
It is a certainty sadly, the style won't happen that quickly for Angel not to be contaminated.
I can't stress how much he needs to be a wide plaeyr for us.. Mata and RVP would be so much more effective with a player of Di Maria on the wing, players know he's dangerous so he drags defenders out of position. Right now everybody knows our wide players are fecking dog shite, no need to defend them, just flood the middle.
Di Maria looked pretty decent in the first half, but he must be worried about what he has gotten himself into.
He is a superb player.
We have to play him further up though in my opinion.

This worries me.
I don't . He doesn't speak English, it's an advantage now. Just keep Valencia away from him.

Imagine Valencia doing everything to become his best buddy and everyone notices it at the club and this allows Valencia to stay at the club and play more as his understanding with ADM would be optimal.
That just is not going to happen, considering we spent the enormous sum of £60million buying him. You don't buy someone for that amount of money and then not play him in his best position. We've pissed away money in recent years but this would take some beating.
He is absolutely world class as an attacking central midfielder and probably the best in that role in the world. As a winger he was very frustrating and not on the same level, it was unsurprising that he was dropped. He can play on the wings but you're not getting what you paid for and you're not getting a £60million player.
He is going to be our best player (if he isn't already). It is was nice to see some pace in midfield and a player who actually tried to get the ball forward instead of pissing about with it then passing back to the centre backs.
Only thing I'm worried about Di Maria is if his ability degenerates along with confidence if we don't improve as a team.
It won't happen. It would have happened last season but it won't this time, we've signed some players who are capable of playing good football and that's why he won't flop like kagawa/mata. Those 2 didn't have players who play a similar brand of football to them and that's why they 'stooped' down a level.
He looked quality, can't wait till we see him at his best.
He's a great winger...
We already have Juan Mata as a number 10, we don't need another. Jesus Christ LVG has stated this before, our squad is insanely imbalanced, another number 10 is not what's needed. I fully expect him to be played wide sooner rather than later, probably when we get our midfield back.Had a few beers but how about.
Angel Di Mariaaaaa
Comes from Ar-gen-tt-iiinna
In the tune of the Don't you want me baby chorus.
I've been signing in for the last 20 mins and I like it.

Now he thinks Burnley are a good team, hopefully when we come to play a non-relegation team he'll treat it as though its a Classico.
Shitty music, too many replies and half the screen cropped. Why has it become a trend on football videos?

You can expect what you want I guess.
He didn't play as a #10 today and didn't for Madrid either last season, or at Benfica where he played in midfield. It's a different position. He can play with Mata as he did today.
The moment that happened it seemed we lost any interest in trying anything through the center and kept passing the for Valencia to cross it.
Di Maria wasn't brilliant or anything like that, but he did OK for a debut just a few days after joining, in a mediocre team playing dire stuff. He was certainly the one trying to play the right way and created the only two real chances we've had. He'll be big for us, but we need to make things right around him.
The crop thing is because of copyright I think
And apart from a couple of good passes, his most dangerous plays came when he bombed down the left hand side and ran at the defence.
I think Mata could play as the LW. He could drift inside and have di Maria occupy some of that space with his good runs. With Shaw on the overlap too, I think we'd be okay having Mata, or maybe even Rooney there because Shaw and di Maria could make up for their lack of width.
This. Flank Rooney/RvP with Januzaj and Welbeck with him as the third midfielder with a hunting license, his passing was sensational today and it will be lethal with players that actually bother to move around and attack through balls at pace.
Once Herrera and Blind are in midfield I think it will help. Then we can play Di Maria in a more advanced attacking role.
You have someone better than him in his best position. We don't.
Yeah, good point.
Yep. BT logo still shows a few times so will probably get pulled at some point. Nice watch though.
Sadly, this is so true.Looks like he going to be great, just one thing concerns me, does anyone think the non CL next season clause in his contract is true?
What clause?
No idea tbh, there was talk of it on twitter before he signed, no idea if it's true, or just a wind up, can only assume the latter with the fee we paid.
Thankfully when he talks to Aguero or Zabaleta at City they will tell him how hard it is to play at home against Stoke on a Saturday afternoon
Superb!
Fearless and pragmatic.
