Is he going to play in the preseason game day after tomorrow or given a small rest due to his involvement in the Olympics?
Small rest I'd guess to mentally recharge more than anything else. Probably not too long as he had a decent break over the summer
Give him an extended rest I say, so he has time to reflect on that abomination of a haircut.
His rest should be minimal. I hope he's back in the mix straight away. The only way he's getting better is if he's our number one. I can't wait to see him next year.
Why rest him? He's had a summer off and then basically played 3 pre-season games, like most of our squad. Rotate with Lindegaard in our next 3 friendlies and he'll be good to go.
If we can calculate that height of that suitcase, multiply it then we might be able to find De Gea's real height.
Rio's taking care of 'em all (and photos). Gotta love him
Anderson looks like he's on a day trip from school

Doesn't look fat, though, and that's all that matters
Rio will have only posed for that photo to get the #5 cap in shot
Someone should teach Anderson how to tie a tie though.
Discussing de Gea's height is so 2011.
Oh, it's Anderson, let's moan again, how to tie a tie!
Brilliant tonight
Fantastic performance so far, but other players (bar Kagawa) should be ashamed that at the moment he's our man of the match.
Those three amazing cat saves

And people think Joe Hart is the best keeper in the league? Hah.
MOTM so far.
"decent shot stopper"
Nah, just Jamie Redknapp and City fans.
I can't believe the commentators were praising Osman's shot more than the save.
The co-commentator with Tyler is a joke with jokers opinions.
Right now he probably is. De Gea has the potential to be the best in the next few years though.
Yep. Just shows how terrible we've been in defence that he's needed to be.
He is only 21, wow!
God, imagine if that was Hart tonight, the hype would be rediculous. Conversely, DDG will still have 'question marks' over him.
He hasn't got the "presence" if the commentators are to be believed, apparently you have to be Paddy Kenny sized to have it.
Very good performance. Without him we could have lost by 2 or 3.
Whoever that prick was was doing my head in.
Superb performance and he looked better coming for crosses.
Some excellent saves tonight. He is one of the few positives we can take from this game. Continuing on from where he left off last season.
He certainly doesn't have Hart's fat head
Beside the excellent saves and the good positioning he made during the entire game, one thing I've noticed is that he has started kicking with his left leg as well.
Last season he wasn't very confident with his left and used to take 2 or 3 steps back, which just invites the opposition striker to apply pressure, just to kick with his right foot. He's obviously worked on his kicking, good to see him working on the other sides of goalkeeping as well.
Great goalkeeper.

he's fine. His punching is weak but he bailed us out of the shit today. Quickest reactions for a keeper in the league IMO.
Everton got the pundits out of jail with the win. Heaven forbid they'd have to praise him if they hadn't finally beaten him.
Him and Kagawa the only real positives out of tonight's game. He made some wonderful stops in the first half.
Compared to the opening match last season, it was the team who let him down this time. Not himself.
Any doubters left in this place? MaroonPondlife?
Such a big difference from last season where he looked vulnerable from the start. Everton won almost everything in the air tonight and tried to bully him with crosses. But his bravery and shot stopping were the trademark of an outstanding keeper. He's one of our few players that did themselves justice.
Maybe not this place. But Jamie Redknapp seems to think he's a dodgy link.
