Twitter reacts: De Gea save, Atkinson's failure  & Lukaku's miss

As Manchester United locked horns with arch-rivals Liverpool, a lot of hype was exuded from this encounter. Obviously, whenever these two face each other, it becomes a subject of a interest among the people of the football fraternity - despite the fact that the matches between these two teams haven't really been all that great.

However, the battle between Jose Mourinho's men and Jurgen Klopp's army was a feisty one with both teams having a go at each other. On one end, it was David de Gea's magical save to deny Joel Matip an almost certain goal and on the other end, Martin Atkinson's failure to discipline Romelu Lukaku became two of the most talked points of the game.

Here are some of the reactionary tweets...

Some tweets of praises for the Spaniard...

Imagine Man Utd without De Gea? They’d be playing QPR in the Championship today.

De Gea. Again. No surprise. He’s best keeper in world for me. The twat. #LFC

Pretty sure De Gea has a save of the season compilation just from saves against us.

David De Gea with more goalkeeping ability in his feet than Simon Mignolet has in his hands.

Don't tell me David De Gea isn't the best keeper in the world. His reflexes & shot stopping are second to none.

De Gea is surely up there as one of the very best GKs of all time. In my lifetime only Buffon has been better.

Some (non-United) fans are not so please, though...

Imagine if De Gea made that Mignolet save. A documentary would've been made on it.

— Dami (@TheChelseaWay) October 14, 2017

"WHAT A SAVE FROM DE GEA OMG WHAT A SAVE WHAT A SAVE!!!!!!" Are you not going to comment on Mignolet's good save too? Thought not x

Speaking of disgruntled fans, here are some tweets on Martin Atkinson's failure to even caution Romelu Lukaku...

Lukaku could slide tackle Martin Atkinson’s mum and he’d just have a word.

Disgusting from Lukaku. Should be a straight red, yet doesn’t even receive a yellow. World class officiating as always....

— Dharma Bhagalia (@Kloppholic) October 14, 2017

The silly thing about Atkinson not cautioning Lukaku is that at some point in this game he'll end up booking someone for less

And then Martin Atkinson strikes again. How has Romelu Lukaku not been booked for that?! ?????

— Dominic King (@DominicKing_DM) October 14, 2017

Cannot believe he genuinely thinks Lukaku’s challenge on Gomez wasn’t worthy of a yellow card. Are you blind?

— Leanne Prescott (@_lfcleanne) October 14, 2017

If this was Diego Costa the FA would have charged him by now but it’s Lukaku... pic.twitter.com/Kt9elnavnM

Does Lukaku have to stab someone to get a yellow or

And some more unhappy fans' reactions - this time on his miss...

Honestly though, how on earth does Lukaku miss such chances every game. Could have killed the game right there

— @ (@snacksinthehall) October 14, 2017

How did Lukaku miss that mad

— Adam. (@DeadlyRooney) October 14, 2017

Lukaku had to do better with that chance, for sure. But some would have you believe that Aguero and the rest don't ever miss.

— Adam Sweeney (@AdamWSweeney) October 14, 2017

That Lukaku miss. Ugh. Anywhere other than straight at the keeper at mid height and it's 1-0.
