Jamie told his dad about that lovely little stat he got from twitter.
"Yung and lernin"
I've studied Walcott's goal, and I'm roughly 70% sure it took a deflection off Evans (due to the voluminous distribution debacle I couldn't be arsed to check if this has already been discussed.)
I think De Gea will improve and join the likes of Schmikes, Edwin as good-great goalies for United. He has not profited from getting a consistent back 4 playing in front of him, seen United's shield of Carrick swapped for a more adventurous Ando-Cleverly midfield axis. This has resulted in a lot more shots and attacks penetrating our defense.
In an ideal world, he would have Rio-Vidic and Carrick protecting him for 2-3 months while he beds in with the United team.
Still, its 3 games and 3 wins. I am not complaining. He also seems to have a lot of luck. Whenever he makes mistakes, the team still ends up winning

Good post.
People complain that Evra is caught out of position, but at United the fullbacks are often told to get forward and take risks. In such a situation having a central midfielder who can shield the back four and even drop back to pick up a player allows the central defenders to push out wide and cover for Evra on occasion.
I think the full story of the soft goals United have conceded of late is a bit more complex than simply De Gea or Evra being at fault. We often only see the end of a defensive breakdown and miss the build up.
Spain u21s beat Georgia today 7-2. I can't find the highlights anywhere, however.
Uniteds shield...-eeeeek. He's just a young goalkeeper who we knew would make mistakes...there's nothing much to add. I think Evans and Jones have done very well. You could say Rio and Vidic haven't been missed to a large degree as for Carrick protecting him...I think he's got a reputation and people have been chancing their arm

U21s: Georgia v Spain 2:7. David de Gea conceded a goal from outside the box. Similar to Young second v Arsenal, but to the closer post.
He was captaining the side aswell.

Maybe he need to go to Spec Savers.
Ridiculous people are judging a goal he conceded against Arsenal. Who gives a shite when we won 8-2? We were already 3-0 up at the time, hardly makes a blind bit of difference.
He saved a penalty when we were only 1-0 up and that's all that matters really.

It's not ridiculous, unless you expect us to knock in 8 every game we play in?
It shows a continuing vulnerability which is perfectly natural yet slightly worrying too. I'm concerned about whether we can get him both accustomed to PL football and performing consistently to a high standard but I'm pleased he's looked significantly better each game though. Incidentally, the fact PiG is still around perhaps indicates that Fergie is not entirely confident himself.
And your point is?
If the goal was a mistake then regardless of being of it being 3-0 or 30-0 it's still another mistake and would make it 4 mistakes in 4 games which is worrying because if he carries on making mistakes then sooner or later his team mates wont be able to get him out of trouble
Obviously though the spot light is on him so everything is being highlighted, coming and missing a cross against Spurs which resulted in Defoe hitting the post wouldn't of even been a footnote had VDS been in goal but as it's De Gea it gets talked about. He does need to go through a couple of games soon without having any part of his performance questioned
I'd argue it's because no one wants to take him off of our hands
PIG is here because we couldn't get rid of him.
1. De Gea
2. Lindegaard

Yep, PIG will have no bearing if De Gea succeeds or fails. If the worst comes then Lindegaard will have to step and the worst case scenario will be De Gea and Lindegaard alternating depending on Fergie's mood.
And you found that funny?
I'm fairly sure Kuszczak could have found another club - he had a good rep in the PL before moving to United and has all the training and experience he got while here - he just had the misfortune to be here at the same time as Van der Saar. I'm sure he's still got a lot to offer though.
The thing about those two options is that they're both equally inexperienced in PL terms - if SAF decides to take De Gea out of the firing line, the guy he has to turn to is just as raw.
I doubt Kuszczak has played his last game for us, and I also reckon he's good to have around in training - assuming he still trains with the 1st team. Having 3 frontline GKs is hardly that crazy anyway, lots of other clubs do and we did for a long time when Foster and VdS were at the club along with PiG.
Yes, because he's played so many games so far hasn't he, we've got so much to judge him on.
He's played 3 competitive games for this club and already we've got people "concerned about whether we can get him accustomed to PL fooball". Why not wait until we've actually got enough games to judge him on? He's barely played at all so far, lets give it a bit of time. These mistakes have been massively exaggerated by a media keen to criticise any area of United's squad because that sells papers to ABU muppets desperate to sense a weakness in our team because they can't bare the thought of us winning yet again. I saw VDS concede many goals like Walcott's in his time here, it's not too bad a thing to do, all this De Gea nonsense is getting ridiculous now.
He's only played 3 competitive games for the club so far! At least wait a few months to judge him ffs.
I found it funny that you had no idea Lindegaard existed.
Exactly, it's being massively exaggerated because people are desperate to find a weakness in our squad. Many, many goalkeepers make very similar mistakes and they're not mentioned - Hart made exactly the same mistake as De Gea in the Community Shield and no-one mentioned it once. De Gea has also done lots of good things against all the teams that hardly get talked about. I maintain that a penalty save at only 1-0 up was the most important thing he needed to do, and he did it.

Where did I judge him?
Pointing out that he has to more or less immediately acclimatise to a foreign league, and do it at United - a notoriously unforgiving environment for goalkeepers - is hardly criticism or judgement.
Where did I say that?
When was the last time United - indeed, any big PL club - had two goalkeepers with such scant PL experience as their frontline keepers? In fact, they've both got strikingly short CVs full stop, never mind PL experience.
I'm sure they'll come good and give great service - I was just speculating that maybe SAF chose to keep PiG around as experienced cover.
No, you weren't. You clearly implied that PIG was back up to De Gea, with no mention of Lindegaard. At all.
Well you misunderstood me then - my point was that PiG is a good guy to have around when you're bedding in two such young an inexperienced GKs.
I've no idea why you feel the need to make your point - go and search through my posts and you'll see I've been very well aware of Lindegaard for some time now.
I would rather gargle with my own testicles than read through your post history. No offence.
Fascinating. Do us a favour and put me back on ignore - life was easier that way.
Cheerio.
But torturing you is so much fun. You provide me with so much ammunition it seems a shame to waste it.

Should've saved it. LOL!
Jesus... that goal around the 1 minute mark is fantastic...controlled with the right and chipped with the left. Who scored it?
EDIT: Spain's own goal is comical really...I dunno if De Gea should've been that far off his line though, I've noticed that at times with United.

Some proper defending right there if I ever saw it... seriously, what is the defender trying to achieve?
Reminds me of the OG Jenkinson scored in pre-season. Bad luck that.
Yeah he reacted late to their second goal.
He's come off his line to collect the ball, the ball was over the defenders head so there was no need for him to flick it like that. Wasn't De Gea fault at all.
You've got to be fecking kidding me. A strike like that?
Quality own goal... Try and do that again!
That was better than Jenkinson's OG.
