How can someone fault De Gea's kicking? Thats the last of my concerns about him. Has fantastic distribution that lad and will only get better. Superb signing..
Danny Mills on 5 Live has just said the following about de Gea. "He's looked nervous since the Community Shield and the move looks to be too big for him."
fecking moron.
fecking moron.
think Lindeegard should get his chance. De Gea continues to worry me.
I think he has a point.
Disagree with that, the ball was zipped in he instinctively stuck his foot out but unfortunately for him no one bothered to mark and the ball fell to Streller.
He doesn't.
It's incredibly harsh to blame him, it was an instinctive reaction after the ball took a deflection and he was unlucky it ended up at the feet of the Basel player.
He could have done better on their goal. Plus he fecked up a catch come punch moments before that. His kicking has also been a worry tonight
I dont think Danny Mills has a point when he says the move is too big. Eventually he will be fine. But right now he is a liability

Bollocks, you're getting caught up in the media perception. That was a good strong punch and his distribution is excellent. Just remember he's 20 with plenty of upside.
Roy Keane having a go at him now too
This is not possible.
I do not get caught up in anything. I say it how I see it.
He is a very young keeper. so I realise its not his fault.
Don't know... ask Phil Jones.
I still have faith in him.
Fair enough, it just seems to me like you've been caught up in the media perception.
Do some people seriously expect a young keeper not to make mistakes and be the finished article?! Get a grip. Give the boy time to adapt, his distribution and handling are top class and in a year or so he will be the best keeper in the league. This de Gea bashing is OTT, some United fans are spoiled.
Early days
No, but does that mean we are to ignore it when after 4 months he has made quite a few errors and looked dodgy at times.
Like any player. We discuss them when good and when bad.
Since the West Brom game I can only think of the Benfica mistake as a real error he has made, today as well if you want. There's been far more good stuff than bad.
Edit: Even when he makes a great save, the commentator's don't want to praise him
was he at fault though?
Wojciech Szczesny
I don't agree with De Gea criticism. He's potentially one of the best GK in the world but needs time to get his confidence at ManUtd!
Wojciech Szczesny
You have to perform at your best every game when you play for big clubs and when De Gea is at his best he is UNREAL! Give him some time...

Agree with Arse PIG.
Have you ever heard such bollix. ... from a well establish keeper with years of experience ... surely he should be in the Goalkeepers Hall of Fame.
He wasn't at fault for anything he conceded today.
Shit defence is more to blame than de Gea.
Its fecking bullshit, how many big saves has he made this season. The media are a bunch of bandwagon jumping cnuts
I personally didn't really think he was at fault for the goal, its not like he was going to catch that cross. He was just unlucky that the deflection went directly to a Basel player.
Nice to see those comments from Szczesny though.

I've been more than happy with De Gea so far.
maybe goal was his fault but fecking ell we've looked so bad going forward for months now...
DDG was at fault for the first goal - he should have come with his arms instead of sticking a leg out and hoping it was deflected away. Contrast that to Sommer in nets for Basel who was brave coming out.
Some on here simply cannot accept that DDG has made a mistake. I'm not too bothered he did as overall we have been flat in the CL. He also made an error in the previous game re Benfica which cost us. We have an inexperienced keeper and initially we have to accept these mistakes. I'm glad he is at United as he has the talent and temperament to become one of the worlds best.

He has made mistakes (clearly) but I was more irritated tonight by Smalling and Vidic, with no pressure on from a Basel attacker, failing to communicate such that the ball could have been headed clear rather than behind Smalling, leading to the goal...
And was DDG's "clearance" worse than Smalling's failure to clear the ball for the second goal?
DDG has been a ready scapegoat this season, masking the woeful midfield displays. I accept the same kind of witch-hunt will also give rise to a staunch defence of DDG regardless of his mistakes.
I do not agree with the manager's tinkering and "rotating" the keepers. It would be very damaging to his confidence if DDG was dropped for Saturday's game against Wolves - he needs as many games as possible.
Geaters gon' geate
I dont know why you need to find some sort of equivalence with Smalling error and De Gea. Both should have done better but the fact is they didnt. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes.
DDG as a scapegoat? Who said that? I find that very surprising indeed however it should not mask he has made 2 errors in our last 2 CL games.
As to rotation of the GK - not sure what is behind that other than perhaps to keep DDG on his toes and Lindegaard active?
Re "scapegoat" I was referring to the media rather than fans on here. I'm sick of feckwits like Mark Lawrenson and Danny Mills on radio criticising DDG at every fecking opportunity!
Those idiots say the first thing that comes to their mind and stick with it. They are that sad that they need to unload on a young and inexperienced keeper as a proxy to attack United and Fergie.
I think people are not really factoring in just how open our defence has been this season when talking about the errors de Gea has made so far.
By 12 games into the season he'd already made as many saves as Van Der Sar did all of last season.
