CL- his error leads to Basle scoring in a game where we needed to win F.A Cup- not man enough to handle a corner League- just needed a draw and he is not man enough to collect a ball Why buy a keeper who cannot handle set pieces and has cost us 3 competitions this season. Overall a awful performance by the team, but in the past if th team did not play well Van Der Sar did and that lifted the team. Buying a prospect for 18m and he has cost us millions of prize money.

What a dreadful post. DeGea was not at fault for the goal and his performance over the last 5 months have been brilliant. I believe that he has won the fans player of the month award twice in this time. He has made numerous brilliant saves which have won us games -or saved points. You listen to Hansen too much

no de gea didnt cost united it has always been the marking and defending from the team this season and having players that are not the quality of rio and vidic in the team didnt help players like rafael, jones, evra and smalling couldnt help because not ready yet or not good enough

Tactics cost us nothing else bringing in park and smalling after a few months out was madness .....even at that half time should have changed and didnt.. SAF needs to look at himself now and take stock becuase of the way we played not just tonight and get someone to help out carrick only for him UTD would have being killed

If people actually believe that the keeper should have come out for a corner that fast then they have no clue about football.

So the next time a keeper collects the ball from a corner, you certainly going to be gobsmacked.

"That fast." There was hardly any loop on the ball to give him time to come collect it.

WOW mate! No need to slate a young lad who has earned his stripes.... DDG has and keeps showing us what he will be for United - potentially better than both van der Sar and Schmeikey However, as a 'keeper... You are only as good as the defence in front of you: examples - Rafael lost sightt of Pienaar and Jelavic which gave Everton 2 clear pot shots on goal and another example... tonight - Chris Smalling gave Kompany a free header within the 6 yard box. Given that at all times teams now place men in front of a keeper... any good contact with the ball usually ends up in the back of the net. Back off DDG mate... He is positive for us going forward

To blame De Gea in this is terrible. Even Joe Hart made mistakes. We did not create any chance to score how then do we go thinking we will win. We started the game on a wrong foot and that is just about it. Smalling lost his marker and we got punished. Maybe De Gea could have done something about it but I will not blame him for that. I expected we use width instead we lined up to defend.

Yeah it was all down to David, he had lots of goal kicks and not one tested their keeper. Next match Sir Alex leave out Rooney and Carrick, Welbeck and Scholes and of course dont play Valencia, he cant play at all can he!

Next time lets shove you in goal and have kompany belting a header at that velocity in your face and see what you do you absolute **********************************!!!! If anything it was smallings fault and to be honest smalling made some cracking tackles that could have saved some goals going in so its not entirely his fault! It was the team all together along with city's italian style defending, they were hard to break down, and to be honest if we had vidic we would have been hard to breakdown. Its easy for everyone to point the finger and blame SAF, Smalling or De Gea, but at the end of the day we were out done by the ***** next door which makes it worse but at the end of the day we are United fans and we must act United!!! Done get over it! Dont forget they face Newcastle and despite Newcastles lost to Wigan, newcastle are a hard team to visit at St James's Park, so fingers cross and hopefully we will bounce back, the last thing we need is ***** like Legend_Cantona talking the rubbish he has. Be United, we are United, United we stand!!!

Not having that about Danny Welbeck soz mate but u r talking *** DW has been one of our most improved players this season. Top class striker in the making.

I completely disagree. A few matches off really hurt Smalling, who is ultimately to blame. Otherwise the defending was superb and De Gea was fantastic.

How about stepping forward a few yards and collecting it. It is not difficult, it is not my fault retarded thick *** like you cannot see past the anorexic weak goalkeeper in the nets for Manchester united.

Yes I think De Gea had a good game 2day,nevertheless he should save have kompany header if not 4 smalling inability 2 mark out kompany.I Pray in Yeshua name dat we still win the title. 4rm a YORUB***

shut up you....p.r.i.c.k. de gea has had a good 2012, how was tonight his fault? if anything it was smallings fault for losing his man.
