Why isn't Cech getting a mention as one of the best keepers in the league? Been way better than Hart this season.

Cech's a steady Eddy, isn't he? He makes it look easy, commands his area perfectly. You don't see him making as many extraordinary saves as a Lloris or de Gea, but yeah, he's top class.
He had a ropy couple of seasons after fracturing his skull and starting to wear his silly hat but getting back to his best this last couple of season. Looked set to be the best keeper in the world at one point. Might get there yet. His save from Hernandez last season was one of the best I've ever seen.
Hmm. Well I said that thinking we'll try to glorify our highest wage earner and celebrate his new contract on the back of good performances. But it'll be the players who vote and the fans who vote for the fans version. So maybe I'm wrong and Rooney wont get it no matter what.
To think the general consensus was that Hart was better! A few backed the wrong horse in that race!!
cech's always been pretty overrated to me. you wouldn't expect it from a 6 foot 5 colossus like him, but he's truly awful at coming out to get to crosses. Just putrid bad. As a shotstopper, he's worldclass, no question about that. He's made some horrific errors the last 3 seasons though, Reading comes to mind last season. Nobody in the media talks about Cech's mistakes when he makes them though, so they're forgotten pretty quickly and he keeps his reputation.
Going to be the very best! Add another to the debate between Schmikes and VDS in about five years time, I reckon.
If this has not been posted... here's... Congrats indeed! Thanks David

I really really think he should be our next captain...
Where's that thread gone? The "football fans are idiots" one?
was thinking this the other day
Wouldn't be a bad idea. He's led by example this season.
Rest him until the first leg. We are going to need him 
He doesn't need to be rested. He can save anything, even this:
That annoying face from Robben. What a cocknose.

Even Jonah approves.
That one is unreal, I already remember moaning cos I thought it was a dead cert for a Suarez goal. Incredible save.
Same, if it had gone in everyone would have said he had no chance anyway. He's going to have some highlight reel by the time he retires. Hopefully after about 1000 appearances for us
His best save ever is still the one from Coentrao in the Bernabeu IMO. Such fine margins there - all in the footwork, anticipation and reflexes.
Can't even begin to imagine. His highlight reels season by season are already better than many keepers have in their entire career.Same, if it had gone in everyone would have said he had no chance anyway.

"He’s called David de Gea Quintana. But don’t bother learning all those names. There will be another chap along soon. There has to be."
Still a classic, almost up there with "you can't win anything with kids"

That 'article' is horrible. The author should be ashamed to have written that about a young player. More downright insulting than analytical or constructively critical.
For me, his best save was definately the Mata freekick last season. That save took the absolute piss, he had no right keeping that out.
That was unreal, but he has a number of those 'no right to make that save' moments.
The Torres header always springs to my mind.
It was past him ffs!
i don't know why that dzeko save didn't get any praise from neville.. it was really excellent.

He should feign an injury for a few games. When we start conceding double the goals, the board might wake up.
I thought that too. Neither Neville nor Tyler would praise him for that. Instead they focused on how Dzeko should have done better. If Hart did even the slightest thing right they were going way over the top with their praise, although I have to say he did play well tonight.
I feel so sorry for him at moment. He always looks so disgusted at what's going on in front of him and rightly so.
The first goal set the tone and that was unacceptable from his defence in particular.

Our defending in front of him since he's been a club has been diabolical tbh, it's not just this season
It is weird how De Gea manages to go through the same training sessions, weekly routine, pre-match warmup and team talk from Moyes and his staff as everyone else in the playing squad does, yet doesn't turn out tumescent performances like he can't be arsed.
They didn't praise him maybe because it was poor kick from him that created them chance in first place.
I'd be a bit worried if Rooney and De Gea were going through the same training sessions in fairness.
Although maybe if the whole squad are doing goalkeeping drills that could explain it.

I fear he is not going to sign that new contract unless we sort out our team. Really feel sorry for him, he deserves better players playing in front of him, if he doesn't get them here, he'll move to some club that has them. Next year is going to be crucial if we want to hold on to him. His international ambitions will be on the line as well from after the World Cup.
His kicking was a bit poor tonight but we need to be thankful for him as this season could be ever worse. Imagine if he was performing to a shadow of his ability like the others are. I'm not convinced he's going to sign that new deal. You couldn't blame him for leaving if Real or Barca came for him.
At this rate he will probably not mind going back to Atletico if they can offer him the money he is on at the moment. It would certainly be irritating to see your childhood club doing great while your current club struggles through no fault of your own when you thought you were moving on to bigger and better things when you left it.
By all accounts Chris Woods is very talented. A keeper, perhaps. Not indicative of the rest of the management, though.
Unless the two of them live in a bubble together between matchdays, DDG will have the same interaction with Moyes and his team as the rest of the players, yet he's consistently putting in performances. It is almost as if he has professional pride.
Yeah, turned Howard into a good Premiership keeper from the walking disaster he had become at United.
Correct yet again.
I hope I am not correct this time, though. Please let us lose Moyes before this hero of a player.
Since when did De Gea's role interlink with the imagination and ability of the coaches that work the outfield players? It's a different matter altogether.
