    De Gea 'not capable' of playing against Spurs. He basically kept them in games last season and without him Utd could really struggle. Utd have a GK crisis at the moment with Valdes frozen out too, so they are relying on a 3rd choice untested keeper today. Spurs might not get a better chance than this.

    Daniel Levy's decision to squeeze in another lucrative friendly this morning could be their undoing

    People overrate De Gea. With or without him we get top 3 this season. He gained us about 5 points last season to be fair.

    Who have you got playing in goal today ? I heard it might be a keeper that you signed only a few weeks ago, hence untested.

    How do you figure that? Unless they play the game differently in Serie A, La Liga, Holland, Argentina. I think teams also usually have to put the ball in the back of the big rectangular thing in the World Cup while the goalie has to try to stop them. Could be different but I dont think so.

    The PL will start with a boring 0-0.

    By untested I meant untested for Utd.

    Yeh and personally I've not seen much of him to know how good he is. One thing's for sure the spotlight will be on him today. The pundits and writers will have their knives out for any mistakes he makes.

    TBH, my feeling is that we'll probably lose. Utd at O.T. Is not an easy game. I just hope we put up a decent performance. If we get a point, I'll be happy.

    Eriksen is the danger man. I hope we can keep him off the ball.

    No Herrera, big disappointment.

    It's going to be a big game for him either way. He'll either be a hero or the villain depending on which way the game swings. The whole de gea situation is a bit of a mess for Utd to be honest.

    Kyle Walker peaked at QPR

    Was enjoying that until the goal, then man u started to control but looked as bad as us penetrating the final third. Game turned to ****.

    Usual WUM bollocks. Walker did all he could, Bentaleb ****ed it up.

    Nobody peaks at QPR. Enjoy your stay in The Championship, assuming they let you stay!

    Why do Spurs fans on this site get so worked up over nothing? Just laugh it off. Was obviously a joke.

    Walker is poor though. Trippier will be a big improvement.
