Super Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Well done to them last night especially as the media had given them no chance before the game. The De Gea stat is bizarre that he hasn't saved any of his last 36 pens which makes you wonder why they didn't sub him before the shoot out as he never looked like saving any of them (reminded me of Shilton in WC 1990).

And I remember Hart getting nowhere near Italy's penalties in Euro 2012. At least the Villareal 'keeper got his hand to a couple (and should probably have saved at least one long before he did). Yes a goalkeeper should always be second favourite on penalties but they could still be taking them now and he still wouldn't have saved one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Villarreal deserved it. More desire, more heart, meant more to them, worked harder. Man Utd missed Maguire's leadership, they played like they expected to win and then whimpered off at the end. Delighted for Villarreal, Man Utd's spoilt babies got what they deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I thought De Gea was a disgrace last night making barely any attempt to save any of them. That said, they were well struck with that of his opposite number being one of the best. You just knew he was going to miss his attempt. As an earlier poster said, maybe he should have been swapped at the start of the shoot out with the appalling record he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Never been so sure a player would miss a penalty than when De Gea was stood over the ball last night. One of the most overrated footballers I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you mention Peter Shilton @Super that was exactly what was in my mind last night too Both keepers looked like they would never stop a penalty Sadly yet another trophy won by a team setting up not to concede rather than trying to actually win the game, but I guess the history books won't reflect that in years to come In truth a pretty dull final, only 3 attempts on goal in 120 minutes - it sounds just like a City performance One thing that was odd that Ole' persisted with the same starting 11 when it was obvious for all to see the fresh legs of Villareal got them back into the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Does anyone know what would have happened had De Gea scored ? Every player had taken a kick, do they start again, or unused subs take them? I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Its easy for out shite media to make villareal out to be a team of no hopers and promote the premier league and their teams as the best in the world. la liga is far more accomplished technically, and with 3 weeks of the season left there were 4 teams who had a chance of winning it. Youd think the media would get realistic by now, but i guess its the same thing as city players coming out all last season saying we go again,,, towing the party line.

I think disgrace might be a bit OTT but there didn't seem much effort from him. I know keepers are 2nd favourites when facing a penalty but you expect to save one now and again.

But how depressing to have to watch a game like that. Villareal seeming to come into it with little ambition except to frustrate everything Manchester United could do and bring all eleven players back behind the ball every time United went forward, leaving seven or eight United players trying to thread their way through eleven Villareal players within twenty metres of their goal. If that’s the result of La Liga being ‘more accomplished technically’ then I’ll stick with what I see in England. At least you get some entertainment occasionally.

The Coach Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Can't see how OGS will keep his job this time next year if they fail to win silverware next season and a top four spot. As for last night. I am glad United lost, they were extremely cocky on the build up which was lead by OGS, plus the love in from the media not giving Villarreal a chance. Fair play to Emery, he is a top coach and was wrongfully sacked from that poisonous club that is Arsenal who have no ambition and the worst set of fans in the world.
