Lazar Markovic

[Pablo]

It was still a shot of a striker low on confidence.

That as well.

Yeah, he should have lifted it into the corner really. Quite a poor finish.

In fact most of the saves De Gea made were pretty easy in reality.

I'm not tall (sub 5'10") and I goalkeep like that in 5 aside when its my turn to go in. I know most of the players are sh*t and if I cover enough of the angle with my cricket fielding pose they'll miss the target or hit my legs/hand.

If De Gea was 'outstanding' on Sunday then I'm an undiscovered gem.

I'd still snap their hand off if they offered him us- he's very good

Oh God yeah, he's turned into a brilliant keeper. I was just saying the praise for him the other day was a bit OTT.

[meffin]

Yea, if it was Suarez with the chances that Sterling and Balotelli had, he'd have scored each one

A quality keeper, more often than not, finds himself in the right place at the right time............its not always luck and bad finishing. Even his angles for Sterling's horror miss as absolutely spot on. Plus his positioning for both of Sterling's near post efforts was excellent, even with the piss-poor shot just before they scored.
Go back to Buffon, and even Reina of a few years ago, and you could see how often they positioned themselves well with a diving save a last resort.

That's not to say a quality forward wouldn't have punished ManU with some of the chances we had, but DeGea was rightfully man of the match.

I think Marko will be a better player than Sterling, Coutinho and Lallana come end of the season.

[wiw]

When he gets in his stride he seems to glide across the pitch. That's the best compliment I can pay him Not many players can do that and he makes it look easy sometimes. His first touch is very good and that through ball to Balotelli was out of this world. He clearly wasn't ready physically at the start of the season, but he's looking more ready now. Definitely excited about this guy.

[danperkins]

Looks a decent midfield on paper, I doubt we will see it under Rodgers though. Would drop Henderson too as he hasn't been good enough lately.

Henderson has been terrible this season.

[Chris]

Quality player. Hopefully we can give him some regular minutes and he can fulfil that potential that had Benfica fans fuming they only got £20m for him. Not in that position long term mind!

[Cormack74]

The first half was what I expected / hoped for after seeing him at Benfica.

Let's hope he's on an upward curve from now on.

[G]

Good game, needs to play more, preferably from the right or through the middle.

[Shaggy]

Got loads of talent, it just needs harnessing along with time for him to develop. He sometimes loses soft possession, meekly running straight into people, but I think that's just his style, and when it comes off it looks great, like a free spirit ghosting past lads at will

[danperkins]

Had great first half but agree that position needs a far more defensive attitude.. and Markovic IMO would struggle with it long term. Anyways good first half, quality goal & understandably faded in the second.. actually looked exhausted at the end. Better from him though.

[Slinky Skills]

I like him.

Looked ****e at first and too scared, bit of a headless chicken but the last few games he's shown more confidence. His first touch has improved massively and his passing looks low and crisp, always to feet.

He's quick too and once he gets more aggressive on the ball which he's starting to now he's going to ****ing kill defenders.

Still needs to do more though, needs to go off his ****ing head when he scores, and his hair is ****.
