De Gea's passing this season.
De Gea's passing this season.
The accuracy of his kicking is fantastic for a keeper, but some of those were just hopeful pumps up the field. There's a couple where you can see he has loads of time, so hopefully that's something he can improve on under a new GK coach. He could easily take his time on the ball, wait for a triker to start closing him down, then pick out the free man. Or, it could have just been a specific tactic of Moyes.
Yes, it was a specific tactic by Moyes, and I don't think he can afford to take his time. I suspect Moyes, considering his style, wouldn't have had him working on his kicking in a manner that would improve his confidence on the ball. I think Van Gaal will have him work on his kicking much more, and we'll see how good his distribution really is when given a more expansive role in this regard.
Just made his Spain debut.
He had 100% accuracy in his distribution today. The whole one pass he did.
wait!...why am i pissing myself laughing?
Didn't explain it. He got subbed on for about 5 minutes in probably one of the moist pointless subs I've seen@Baxter Thanks for the explanation
Clean sheet record - 100%
MOTM performance from our Dave there

Minutes after he came on Spain scored their 2nd goal! His presence is just crucial to Spain and transformed the whole team! #ScouseLogic
Here's to many more caps.
Easiest paycheck he has ever had.

"David de Hero"Saves per goal last season: 3.09
Saves per goal this season: 1.98
Down from last season
Claim success last season: 88%
Claim success this season: 95%
Up from last season
Distribution success last season: 61%
Distribution success this season: 61%
Exactly the same
I am hoping next season his saves per goal goes back up to at least 3.09 and claims success is 90% minimum. Distribution is tactical and if we improve tactics and stop doing retarded long balls this will improve.

Casillas doing his best to accelerate Dave's succession into the Spanish #1 role.
He should be starting the next game.
See what happens when you play United players? You win games. Start the boy!
Reina's ahead of him in the pecking order, no?
Yep, which is just utterly farcical.
Yep. Spain are strange.
Best player for Spain tonight was our Dave
You have a young hungry Keeper on the bench who want's to show what he can do, you know Spain wont Drop Iker because, well he's Iker Casillas but another mare from him and I really hope our Dave gets played!
Blubbed when we signed him. News for some reason.

Although we all love Agent Dave, I feel it would suit us more that he stays on the bench and sweet talks koke and friends
All serious though, he should get a start the next game in my opinion, he has proven himself this year and going by that performance from casillas last night, he would do much better!

He might get a start against Australia IF Spain are already out, but I am almost 100% sure Del Bosque won't drop Casillas against Chile. He might drop one of Xavi/ Xabi Alonso though. Anyway, he has to do something. After the loss against Switzerland in 2010 he dropped Silva, Silva will be having nightmares now and hoping history doesn't repeat itself.
If Spain want to stay in this World Cup then they need to ring the changes for their next game and I would drop Iker, Alonso, Pique and replace them with De Gea, Martinez and Koke . If Del Bosque is not bold then Chile are capable of ensuring that they suffer France's 02 fate which could launch a disastrous witch hunt and cause kneejerk changes which could set them back again .

He even mentioned his miss in his post Match presser, so there is every chance he might get dropped.
De Gea is better than Iker nowadays. Iker is finished at top level. See yesterday and he champions league final for examples.
Spain have been trying to continue the winning formula of the last few years, though I think it went to extremes. Had it not been for Victor's injury, De Gea wouldn't even be in Brazil. And he's their best goalkeeper. Probably should have made other changes as well, freshen the team up, but how many teams do that until they found out the hard way their time is up?
Why would you take Pepe Reina and not Diego Lopez? Surely any sane, non sentimental person would have him first choice with De Gea second? Or possibly vice-versa, but definitely those two as main goalkeepers.
