"Average Goalkeeper" according to Jamie 
. Unbelievable.
. Unbelievable.Brophs is correct, this shouldn't even be up for debate to be honest.
How the feck would you know? Were you sat on his shoulder?
In fairness, the coverage is hilarious. Reina made more mistakes today then DDG but they'll only talk about David's.
And there it is, finding yourself on the same side of a debate as Jamie Redknapp should tell you how wrong you are.
Agreed. The moment he gave the rebound I knew they would score, but it was Clevz wiith an unnecessary screw up and Rafaeel caught napping that cost us.
There were people on here excusing him because it was raining. It doesn't matter what he does, the narrative on here is always that he was amazing and doing any better is impossible. He parries the ball directly to a striker and we should be praising him for his amazing save, he leaves one side of his goal unguarded and he is actually a mastermind playing the probabilities and was unlucky. It's about time this forum returned to planet earth.
Even Souness looked embarrassed.
Only one person has squarely blamed him, everyone else who has criticised him has said it was minor and others were more to blame but then the 'de Gea is god' team come out like a bunch of retarded chimps not actually reading what said.

Yet Reina is world class. Great logic by the twat.
De Gea done nothing wrong today.
"Average Goalkeeper" according to Jamie
He's a twat, he said the word offside 5 times in one sentance.
Do people want him to defy the rules of physics?? He could have done nothing for the goal today, absolutely nothing
I understand people defending De Gea, I do 99% of the time, he does get unfair criticism sometimes but they just showed the replay on Sky there. The shot isn't especially hard, it's not in the corner, it's actually fairly central. He should be doing better with it, in my opinion.
Do you not ever wonder why it's basically only you arguing for the things you argue about?
Redknapp
If De Gea is average, then Reina must be completely shite. He misjudged a couple of crosses, made some poor kicks but at least he didn't make a save at full stretch that then should have been dealt with by his defenders aye?
The goal was more Cleverley's fault, shouldn't have passed to Carrick when he was under so much pressure.

There were quite a few in the matchday thread blaming him, so obviously not only one.
Quelle surprise. Kietotheworld again.
It's pretty self explanatory really. A goalkeeper makes a mistake and it almost always leads to a goal. Thus it's highlighted to a much greater extent.
That's not the case with an outfield player.
He needs to realise that it's basic goalkeeping to always push the ball wide while saving the ball, if he is not able to hold on to it, rather than pushing it back to the dangerous area.

The match day thread is no place to get a proper opinion on a player from posters. If RVP missed a sitter people would be saying 'feck sake' 'what the feck' does that mean they think he is shit? No. It's just an outburst of sudden emotion.
Nothing is changing my opinion that we bought him much too early. He's clearly a good goalkeeper who has the potential to grow into one of the very best in the world, but he's too young for a club of United's stature at the moment and therefore makes far too many mistakes. We needed someone who was already at their peak, because when the goalkeeper is the last line of defence then he can't afford to be making errors himself.
It's not though, open a newspaper, listen to a podcast watch Sky Sports News or Match of the Day, this is what most people are saying in the real world. It's only here where I'm seen as some sort of nutter or WUM.
Yes, because that is always possible.
and the match day thread is full of rubbish at times, even I have been culpable for some shit spouted, but it feels like every goal we concede needs to be over analysed only because of who our goalkeeper is. He could concede any type of goal, then people will still come out with paragraphs to how he should be doing better, or how he's not United quality.
If he moved any closer to the centre of the goal his view would be impaired by Rio standing directly in front of him and Gerrard would have an opening to catch De Gea out for a near-post goal. It was just a good strike and a good save. It would've been a great save if he managed to push that out for a corner.
The SkySports punditry was absurd. Casillas, Buffon, VDS, Schmeichel and so on have never made an identical mistake? As if.
I've watched the replay a few times now. It incredulous how he could be expected to push the shot around the post... He got down fast enough, save the shot, and somehow everybody expects him to parry a hard and low shot from the left, all the way across to the right and out of a goalkick. Spastics!!
You are the only one who habitually blames him every game, even if he did little wrong. The 'real world' means you share the same opinion as the likes of Barclay, Merson and Redknapp - congratulations.
The same newspapers that have journos that believe Rafael hasn't been good enough this season? The same TV networks that have people like Redknapp and Shearer on their payroll? Sure, I suppose they're never wrong. Never have agendas either of course.
Like I said before, they said it after his first game, and it's stuck there. It wont go away any time soon because even when he plays well or does nothing wrong the goals we concede still get over analysed, which leads to the same crap being spouted. We could win the league by 10 points this season, and de Gea could keep 10 clean sheets and the same stuff will be said. Reina has been shit for a while now, and he was poor again today yet nothing at all was said.
Within seconds of the goal you were on here posting "another assist". You clearly want to be right in your assessment that he isn't good enough. The rest of the world also completely ignored how utterly shit Reina was today (the rest of the season as well) and focused solely on DDG after the game today.
Yes.
and the same world always gives motm awards to the likes of Rooney, Gerrard etc when they are undeserving. Rafael was brilliant today, it barely got a mention though. Glen Johnson got plenty of praise however.
Like I said in the match day thread, it was an average save. It would've been a brilliant save if he had pushed it for a corner.
Read my other posts. I don't think it was a massive mistake, it was tiny and ultimately a good save that Rafael should of dealt with after. I'm just annoyed at people thinking there is nothing extra that could be done to improve it and that he was at no fault. I haven't agreed with sky sports either.
You are an idiot. Pretty sure you've never played goalkeeper. Gerrard was running to DDG's left, and basic goalkeeping is that you always cover your near post. His positioning was spot on.
I think this is probably the best way I've seen it described. Sure he probably could have done better, but that doesn't mean what he did was a mistake.
