It's true. Most people only consider big foreign talents to be amongst the best in the world after they move to the Premier League and impress there. If they have been playing the same way for years, it won't matter because he wasn't in the ' ' ' 'best league in the world' ' ' '.

Trolololololololol trololololaaaaaa
I try to be as thoughtful as I can.
Who are these people? Uneducated football 'experts' and commentators but no one in this thread is guilty of that.
It was a silly blanket statement suggesting that English fans only know about foreign players when they play well against the team they support. Now I'm sure this is true for some but then the same could be said for every nations football fans.
Fans who love the game and watch leagues beyond their own shores (like a lot of people do) will know about the talent in other countries.
Not sure where you get this ''most people thing from'' unless you mean the press which is a totally different discussion.

De Gea summed up in a nutshell, great save followed by flapping at a corner.
Wtf ref how can you play advantage then immediately give offside, hint that's not an advantage
Edit another good save, comfortable though

Fucks sake, come on Bilbao score.
Has been hilariously bad. He isn't bad but nowhere near as good as the hype.
De Gea fuck me. Keeping us in ANOTHER game

Just wondering who is average at Barca? Pretty sure each player in the first 11 is top-notch lol. You could have a case for Pique.
But incase I misunderstood and you meant how the team still plays great when the bench players are on(like Tello, Cuenca, Adriano etc) then yeah you are right.
ManU's team work has always been admirable, they can pull off wins from nowhere. And you don't know who will score. Don't know what it is, but im guessing its because of SAF.

C'mon Athetico! Watching Man U get beat at home always cheers me up 
HAHAHAHAHA seriously, this constant denial from people that Manchester United aren't missing nearly half their first choice team in every single game they've played this season is ridiculous. Just in this game alone Manchester United's starting 11 is without:
Vidic
Ferdinand
Valencia
Fletcher
Cleverley
Nani
Welbeck
Scholes
Carrick
Anderson
And as for your other point no Park is not the only 3rd or 4th choice player playing tonight because Rafael a RIGHTBACK is certainly not Manchester United's second choice right sided midfielder and Jones a DEFENDER is certainly not Manchester United's second choice Central midfielder.
Don't you support Blackburn, you love yoonited though don't you.
Rafael isn't playing right mid you tool, Young is. Carrick was on the bench, Jones in midfield has nothing to do with injuries.
Not sure is serious?
