We need another striker...

His save for Gerrards free kick was top notch


I didn't think so - it was one of those saves that looked better than it actually was. Gerrard's free kick wasn't going straight into the top corner so it was relatively comfortable for Begovic.

As Sheikh said, we often flatter opposition keepers because our shooting isn't what it should be. Henderson for example should've buried that first chance - Begovic shouldn't have had a chance to save it.

Your a hard man to please
 
A lot of his saves were at the near post thanks to Sturridge's selfish play. Pretty regulation stuff.

The Gerrard save was also pretty standard for a shot from 40 yards out. The one excellent one was the one against Henderson in the second half which he deflected on to the post.
 
I think it was six of one, half a dozen of the other, on another day they might have gone in. That's why a good goalscoring midfielder gets 10+ a season, and not 40 or whatever, because they know how to chip in, but will probably miss a few along the way. Hendo has scored a few quite clinically over the last several months, so he can do it, it's just a case of improving his consistency, he'll get goals, no doubt.
 
that's what the commentators were saying but it didn't look like it in the replays

I have looked at it again and from the front view it looks like Begovic definitely gets a touch.
Someone post the gif please
 
Still difficult to see if he got a touch but I noticed that the ball changed it's trajectory, so he must have got a touch on it.

that's what I noticed too.
From other angles it looks like a curling shot but from the front it seems like it was a really good save
 
Man utd scored 4 goals yesterday from 7 shots on target. We scored 1 from 11.

I'll stick my head out and say by the end of the season we will have more shots on target than Man U yet score far fewer goals.

With Sturridges injury record and Suarez's disciplinary, we need another striker more than another midfielder. If the reputed amount of £30m is true than buying Fred plus Eriksen would make more sense than buying just Willian.
To be fair, Begovic was fucking awesome. Had that been any other keeper we'd probably have had at least another 3.
 
That was a weekly saying last year

Perhaps we just can't aim
I thought all our shots, apart from a few ill placed long range efforts were as good as could be expected. I know we praised the opposition's keeper a lot last season, but I also seem to remember saying that Sturridge/Suarez should've done better. I don't think that was the case yesterday.
