3rd goal took a deflection, would have been a ridiculous save if he managed to get a hand to it. Also, he did have a slight change of direction, the little shift of body weight is all that's needed. No chance with Muller's, Muller was like 2 yards away, no way a keeper saves that unless it's right at you.

I am sure one could find many saves De Gea has made earlier in similar or worse situations. He didnt dive for the muller goal. And kind of expect him to make a save for that robben goal, he is that good. It wasn't really out of his reach. The deflection made the ball go in the direction of his dive. As mentioned, I am expecting just too much from him.

Utter bollocks. The deflection completely changed the direction of the shot. He had no chance of saving any of the goals. The blame so clearly lies elsewhere.

No sir, I am not blaming him for the defeat. Just think he could have done better.

I think that's harsh. Vida was technically to blame for Muelker's
 
Phone/wifi being a prick. Just saying you can blame Vida for Mueller's goal but ultimately they were relentless and we couldn't live with it. Actually thought Vida was good over the two legs and Evra was ok overall tonight. Gutted cos I fancied us to cause an upset.

I don't blame him for the goals too. Just believe he could have made better attempts at saving them. He has been so out-worldly for us that one expects extraordinary saves from him every match.
And I am gutted too. We could have won. We just lost the intensity after our goal and that led us to concede and ultimately lose the match.
 
Yeah agreed. Initially I felt valiant effort, we expected nothing, but the more I go back over the game in my mind, the more I think it was do-able.

Having said that, despite some decent breaks, we didn't look like scoring in a million years til Evra popped up.

From Mata's blog:

"Also, congratulations to David for becoming United's Player of the Month in March. You deserve it, crack!"

Crack? :confused:
 
What are his chances of going to the world cup?

Casillas can't be as sharp as previous seasons, Valdes is injured (correct?) and Reina is Reina!

So surely there is a place for De Gea on the plane?

But then Rooney and Fellaini don't have one! Such an important issue, I know :)

Fellaini has a wrist injury and therefore can't hold one. Rooney wanted a blue vest but the club only had orange. He threatened to put in a transfer request if he was forced to hold the orange one.

It's a bib. The real question is why are they holding it?

Reckon it's that piggy in the middle squares warm-up they do. Piggy holds the bib.

Yeah. He is a red by contract but always a blue. You can also see the look of agitation on his face in the second pic because DeGea-Mata are trying to do something with the ball. Fellaini, you can see how confused he is without his guiding light present in the training ground. Concerns in the words "You play with your chest!" was overheard.
 
Very confident on crosses, the one weakness in his game is no longer an issue. Our player of the season.

Get him a new contract!!
 
In the top 5 GKs in the world pushing top 3. Great buy I love watching players develop.
 
He needs to win player of the season. He needs to see us appreciating him and the fact that even GKs can win POTY.
 
It's laughable reading many journo's and pundit take on team of the year and DDG being in about 2 out of 15. I can understand Marshall being ahead of him as he has being terrific in a very poor Cardiff side and will be the main reason they stay up, if they do.

But Cech was in more than 50% of them, there is no way he has been better than DDG or Lloris this season. Lloris made up the remaining amount, in my eyes, DDG has been slightly better this season but there hasn't been a great deal between them.

De Gea seems to have been more consistent while Lloris has made more match winning saves but at the same time, been culpable for making costly mistakes.
 
Its dangerous him being this good whilst we operate outside the top four...lets say that much.
 
Marshall being in team of the year is like the plaudits Mignolet got last season and Foster before him, when you play for one of the worst teams in the division you'll stand out as a keeper.

DDG will surely walk fans player of the year award.
 
Does he even have a weakness? It was command of area but he's doing that like a boss now. I think he's better than Neuer, really do.
 
He was always fine on crosses and commanding the area, the problem was with his physical build and lack of power to come through whats in front of him or hold onto the ball once he gets to it. He seems more sturdy these days and prepared to take a whack to come away with the ball.
 
I'm just afraid Barca and Madrid will eventually come in for De Gea and the Spaniard will push for a move. I want to believe he is here to stay for years especially with mates like Mata and hopefully other Spaniards too but feck me, those jerks get what they want.
