He should join here, would get on well with quite a few in this thread.
Just being himself - Bitter and unfunny
Pogue mentioned he not seen DDG do a world class save - well that was one.
He seemed to revert into his comfort zone of punching today, which at first looked shaky but as the game progressed you could see the confidence growing in him.
Brilliant, world class save at the end.

I was wondering what the feck he was doing for the free kick, he started off too far to the left, then he does that!
Superb save to save the point
He's just joking. Nothing to get excited about.
This is ironic considering your username is the player who was at fault for two of Chelsea's goals today.
2 own goals he could do nothing about, one unstoppable shot. It's fair to say he's an unlucky keeper.
Some great great saves though, he's top class & don't listen to anyone who tells you different.

He's certainly got the talent... there aren't many out there could have made that save.
That save was perhaps one of the greatest in the Premier League era.
That was a step in the right direction fair play. His shot stopping was never in question however, today will help his confidence.
this match must have really notched up his confidence.
so much of the media crap was so off the wall.
He is a damn good keeper. we are set for 20 years.
..and to think some were even suggesting we play Amos today.
Do these people really understand the game even?

An exceptional save on that most incredible free kick by Mata! The free kick was excellent, the save was out of this world!
Really? Show him Atletico against Barcelona a season back, or Stoke City away this season and to a lesser extent Liverpool away back in October.
has made equally impressive and almost as important saves away at anfield, away at stoke twice and home to newcastle amongst others
I wonder if he pre-empted Mata, given they've played together for the Under 21's and so Mata must have practiced against De Gea loads of times.
Haters gonna hate
I was going to post the same thing.What gets me is that the kid pulls off one world class save and another pretty good one in stoppage time, to keep the point we fought hard for, and all the TV commentators could say is "that's not the part of the game that there are problems with"...
Yep... there's no problem making saves that most keepers would have no chance of getting near... but that doesn't fit in with our preordained narrative of bashing DeGea so we'll look for a negative lining to this silver cloud... no "well done" or "what a great save(s)"
What Pricks!

What a fecking save. That's one of those saves where, if that had been a different keeper in net, if that had been Lindergaad or Amos, then that would have been a goal.
Keepers make a lot of great saves, but they are saves that other keepers in the same shoes would also make. That save however was something else... and for that, I take my hat off to him.

I dont think he pre-empted Mata. Mata had one real place to put the ball and credit to him he did but De gea reach and reaction was brilliant.
If he can reach like that - then he just needs to hav confidence to do the same when he comes for crosses.

Fantastic save right at the end by Mata's freekick, kept us in the game.
He's made mistakes, so what. He'll make more, he's still to mature and realise his potential. But clearly he has it in him to be such a class goalkeeper.

Great pic. A save that could equal Rooney's goal against City last year in it's impact for the individual and the team.
Sounds terrible. Even the German commentator who's a pretty well known Chelsea fan on Sky today gave him plaudits for that great save.
That save was really something special, I haven't seen anything like it in a few years now. The ball was going to graze both the inside of the upright and underside of the crossbar to nestle in the top corner and looked like it was beyond De Gea, and then out of no where he gets his fingertips to the ball, like superman flying through the air!
He's so obviously talented, I don't see how some people can't see it.
He's adjusting and once he's fully settled he'll like this regularly

Boss save!
The Norwegian commentator mentioned something interesting; when VDS retired he had put on 10-15 kgs of muscles since the CL-final in 95.
When De Gea's bulked up it really could be fun to watch him. As long as he doesn't lose his agility that is.

Seriously superb save. Really was the best time to do something special like that, when it really counted.
That save, I mean... woah. Wow.
fecking epic.

If anyone questions this guys ability they really know nothing about football. The number of world class saves he has made while at United is crazy. That save was probably the best of the lot. He started on the opposite side and got to the ball depite it being destined for the top corner. Incredible. Even VDS or Schmeichel would have struggled to save it.
It would have been a superb goal but the save was unreal. Still can't quite believe it.
If we win the title it will be down to that save. I woudln't be able to imagine the psychological damage that would have been had we come back to 3-3 only to lose in the last minute
