There's also Amos with his friends. I guess they all speak English.

I just hope Maroon Pondlife never becomes a scout for anybody.
Maybe for Liverpool or City..
He is seriously slightly built. He's 6.4 feet tall, but he doesn't look to have more than 70 kilos. This is easily fixable (although he may lose some agility?) and it would really help him a lot.
That is such fecking absolute complete and total arse.
It really, spectacularly, truly, totally, profoundly isn't.
It was mentioned in the Norwegian PL-show that van der Sar's weight was 12 kilos(don't know how much that is in british scale) more at the end of his career than when he started.
That's substantially more weight, which would've helped him in some areas.

Another amazingly important save
Well in De Beard. Lindegaard has it tough to try and displace him if he stays on this form.
Excellent save at the end despite having feck all to do all game.
There was one pass he made in the first half which was Scholesesque precision.

not much to do today but his distribution was excellent and a good save at the end.
That save surely saved us 2 points.
The one over to Rooney? It was quality!
Saved us 3 points in the space of 7 days
And the ball wasn't on the ground when he passes it. Was brilliant.
Commentators were tamer on him today. Spoke alright about him before the game. Doing only good against Chelsea and now Liverpool will have good effect I hope.
I think he'll be immense next season. The goalkeeping staff will work on his weaknesses, he'll have the eye surgery, learn some english, hit the gym, delete facebook, lawyer up and switch to a credit union.
Top keeper. he will be one of the best in years to come.
The positive thing for him with Lindegaard out is that he surely has to keep playing and improving his overall game. It will take time for him to adjust and deal with English football better, but throwing him back in at the deep end should bring quicker benefits.
Very little to do really which makes that save even better IMO, and it was a good save.
shame he could not enjoy a clean sheet today, has to do nothing all day apart from that great save from johnson.
Summed up his game in one minute - first a brilliant save and then the miss for Suarez header - yes Suarez was offside but De gea judgement was bad.
He is possibly the best ball playing GK I have seen.

Good save, but c'mon if it had gone in it would have been a massive error
But I was pleased that he did seem more assured in his kicking today. Apart from that he had feck all to do

I thought he was good all but he still has to work on crosses; he was nowhere for the Suarez header at the end. That will come with time though.
Looked much more confident today, and put in a good performance to show to him.
The accuracy of his distribution is just exceptional. There was a moment in the first half where we won a throw-in on the left hand side, and he pinged the ball out of his hands straight to Evra's hand, he didn't even have to move an inch. Myself and the people around me in the Stretford End loved it...

Saw that aswell, drool worthy.
You think he was lucky ?
It seems any goal he concedes is seen as an "error" on his part. People don't seem to realise that a goalkeeper doesn't always save the ball. He was solid today, but then I never have any worries about the lad. He is very calm and composed and really has a fantastic big game mentality. His reaction to the handshake incident made me proud of him especially.
I agree with Randall, that was the sort of save you expect your keeper to make. Pretty much straight at him. Didn't have much to do today, all of Liverpool's set pieces were hit away from him.
I'd say that his performance today summed up the sort of goalkeeper he is at the moment, in all honesty.
He displayed his weakness of not knowing when he should go for the ball and when he should stay, but he also showed us his undoubted shot stopping ability as well.

The things he is lacking in, his decision making at times, will improve with experience and age.
He has the talent and the reflexes. Those are harder to 'learn'
Rather have it this way than the other way round.

Great save towards the end of the match.
I think he'll be much, much better next season and hopefully the errors will start and be weeded out.

i thought he did well. bet he's getting tired of balls bouncing off our defenders and ending up in the goal. 
Another drool worthy save in a big game.
He's poor at aerial balls being crossed into the box. It's a gaping hole in his game at the moment, and it's something that he obviously will work on over the next few years. A slow but steady improvement there is all we can hope for.
He's pretty bloody good at everything else already.

Jesus, bit OTT there no?
Like I said earlier, it was a good save. But if that had gone in, it would be deemed a huge error
Give it a rest
the same way if my aunt was male she'd be my uncle.
Take your own advice:
I'm actually with Randall on this. It's a save any 'keeper worth his salt should make- fairly central, nice height. That said, he dealt with it competently.
I think he's going to be a cracking keeper for us over the next few years. He's not especially tall, but his hands look huge and he's got long arms. He's already a fine shot-stopper, good reflexes and great with the ball at his feet. His timing and positioning for crosses needs some work, though.

Aye. The save was only a little more than routine.
*mousey voice* Well it did swerve at the very last moment...
I agree. He saved it well. At first I wasn't really bothered with Johnson shooting with his left outside the box. But he managed to get some power on it. But DDG made it look easy and I think he probably thought it was a no biggie save as well.
It's a nice save for a keeper to make. You look good on tele and you can brush it off like it ain't no thang without being cocky.
