the commentators on ESPN were all over him all game. everything he did was bad or "raised further questions"

It's becoming a joke!

Oh shit just heard Chelsea is 2-2!!!!!!! Lol

That is annoying as feck alright. Even showing a tweet that says "Fergie needs to admit he got it wrong with the patience he is giving De Gea". Christ, you'd wonder where they get these people.
 
Carrick was at fault for the chance, still question over DDG on him dealing with that chance. But he was in 2 minds and was a tough situation.

One great save.

But a terrible fumble mid way through the 2nd half which if it had fallen to one of theirs would have been all down to him. That was a far bigger error than their goal.
 
"Most of his "mistakes" aren't directly/totally his fault but these are blunders that didn't use to happen with VDS. i could be suffering from selective memory but certainly it didn't happen to this degree. "

This quote from another forum sums it up for me.

If anyone thought we were buying a 21 year old who was already as good as Van Der Sar then they were always going to be disappointed.
 
He probably thought he might have given a pen away, but he should still have been onto it quicker.
 
Of course you're not supposed to. But there's countless examples I can think of where a back pass has been ignored because a keeper was reacting to the pressure.

You obviously run the risk, but I'm really not sure the ref would have blown up.

Go on then...
 
The fumble from the free kick was bad imo. He should be catching that as it was straight at him and no bounces but he did well to recover. He got lucky it didnt land to a player.

Im still not having that the goal was his fault. I dont get how people can say he should be getting there quicker. The striker always reacts quicker in that situation especially a sloppy back pass which is nowhere near our keeper.
 
Boruc made a similar fumble from a much weaker shot from Rooney a few minutes later. Oddly we didn't get 3 replays and analysis of it.

I was watching on a shitty stream, so couldn't see the kick properly. I assumed it was one of those that flew around all over the place, but maybe it wasn't? Looked a bit odd the way DDG didn't get his body behind the save at all.
 
I thought he was harshly blamed he could have done better but had to guess what to do imho it was Carrick who was at fault not DDG. I'm listening to Jamie Rednapp now and he's got a hard on over Gerrard & Carragher tonight why I'm not sure but thats the English media for you.

Boruc doesn't play for the biggest club in England and potential champions.

Mistakes at United will get scrutinized to the nth degree. You should know this by now.

Boruc made at least 3 fumbles, but sadly a Southampton keeper is more expected too.

Cesar had 2/3 flaps at QPR yesterday.
 
Do we expect de Gea to save us when our players make such silly blunders? He definitely could have done better but why is Carrick making that pass in the first place?

I doubt we've ever put VDS in such positions. It's ridiculous.
 
Sure he made a mistake with that free kick and could have done better for the goal but he saved us the 3 points with a great save yet again.
 
Us winning the league will give him such a huge boost. Also id love to see him take Schmeichels approach. Even if he fecks up he should come out blaming the defenders "its all your fault not mine" mentality that Schmikes used to have.

He got his body behind it but didnt catch it.

Then you got ESPN displaying twitter comments on screen during the game about Fergie needing to admit he made a mistake with DDG and drop him. WTF? fecking twats.
 
C'mon lads, it was awful keeping. And thats coming from one of his biggest supporters on here.

Yes, the back pass was beyond shit, but so was De Gea's 'attempt' at dealing with it. Which was effectively to run to the ball, get there first, see the on coming attacker, and jump over it. Should have just put his body on the line, kicked the ball and got clattered by the attacker.

What if he didn't get the ball and got sent off? He was forced to make a split-second decision, he wasn't expecting Carrick to pass it. He could have done a bit better but Carrick had a massive brain-fart there.

That's the problem with him he never does. Schmikes would have kicked the ball and the attacker into the crowd:D

Agreed. Would still like to see him be more commanding - come through players to get the ball, show some balls and determination.

He makes some great saves, but he gives me nightmares I have to say.
 
I don't understand the focus on Carrick's pass. I think we can all agree that was utter shit, but that doesn't absolve de Gea. He pulled out of the challenge and got what he deserved. He'll learn from it. No big deal.
 
Send the guy out of his misery. Too young, living alone in Manchester, just too skinny for the premiership.
I think SAF knows 'de Gea' is not the solution and we should correct this error before it is too late.
 
Ian Darke and redhaman used to be a decent pair but they've clearly gone off the boil with that piece of commentary. Nani's future in severe doubt because of Zaha? Jaysus!

Hope that it is sarcasm.

I like him and he'll develop most likely, but we could have gone for a experienced keeper too? Surely we didn't buy him thinking he isn't ready but will be a work in progress in our first team.

Hopefully he kicks on from now. Reckon he'll get better from season to season.

I'm not overly concerned about Boruc though. This is the DDG thread.

It was almost a very costly error.

:lol: Serious?

I like the way you put apostrophes around his name, as if that's not his name. His name's probably Ian, or something.
 
I think it was Rowen in the match day thread who made a good point on their goal. He could have easily given away a pen if did go in properly for it. Maybe even gotten a red.

I'm not sure if that was going through his head and I'm not sure what other keepers would have done.
 
It's just a confidence issue; he'd be going right through that just how he was with his punches since the beginning of the season. Looks like his confidence has been knocked from the Spurs game and I wouldn't be surprised if the media is getting to him.
 
Let's see what these idiot journalists will say when he will save our arses against Madrid.
