David de Gea | 2011-14 Performances

[Orton]

Spastics out in full force, i'm sure Berbatov's at fault too because he only scored 2 goals today. Idiots

 

[ha_rooney]

He was at fault today but wasn't helped by the defence. Crosses are his weakness, he'll need time before he is more confident and better with them.

Maybe Lindegaard should get his chance but for all those people who think De Gea's time is over or he is a dreadful keeper, what do you expect from a 21yo?

 

[Carl]

Fergie simply has to give Lindegaard a crack at the whip. He's not once let us down this season.

 

[gaffs]

He has contributed to us being knocked out of Europe and hes costing us points.

Drop Him.

 

[Escobar]

20 years old........

He made one mistake today, but the real shit lies on the rest of the team for us being in that situation.

He couldnt do anything about the first 2 goals, lets look for those players who were shit and much more experienced

 

[SharkyMcShark]

I don't understand why we'd give him a break and then bring him back for this game in particular

 

[TheReligion]

Of all the games to play De Gea over Lindergaard why pick Blackburn, a very physical and tall side who love to play the long ball and utlise set plays?

I don't often question Fergie but he got it wrong in so many ways today.

 

[swooshboy]

Cost us a point today, no matter how you try to twist and turn it, no question about it.

Was always going to happen though, and I don't think the rotation is doing him any favours at the moment.

So did Berbatov then.

 

[The Neviller]

I know he wasn't good on the cross for the 3rd today, but do the 5 defenders behind him who let that fat feck get to the second ball unchallenged not deserve at least a share of the blame?

 

[Leg-End]

21 years old, with a different defence in front of him almost every week. Shit happens, every Goalkeeper in the world makes mistakes and some people just can't accept that.

 

[RedLars]

Of course, the overreactions in this thread are and will continue to be absolutely laughable. Still the best prospect in the league, and everyone realized when we signed him that he would need time and that things like these were bound to happen.

Get a grip people.

 

[Cantona07]

One poor game doesnt make him a shit keeper. Typical idiotic reaction in here

Thats just it. Duh. Lindengaard should have continued playing.

 

[Cold_Boy]

Lindegaard as I have been saying for a long time is currently better and should be number 1.

These are the mistakes which could cost us the title.

 

[girish]

This wasn't a makeshift defense. There was no defense. If everyone want to go for Lindegaard, no blames there..

 

[Eriku]

Came out a few times and flapped at crosses... pisses me right off.

But it's not like keepers that are the full package are easy to come by, and he is still young.

Still, I'm not really happy with him right now.

 

[Maciej]

His mistake cost us two points, there's no doubt about that.

But... someone has written, rotation and injures in defence don't help him.

Lindegaard proved he deserves a chance to get a run of matches now. But who knows what Fergie is going to do with de Gea... maybe he thinks that a run of matches for de Gea would help him more than being dropped.

And people who think he's not good enough, stop it and log off, please.

 

[Sojiro]

Made a mistake. It happens.

 

[Art]

One poor game doesnt make him a shit keeper. Typical idiotic reaction in here

Did i call him a shit keeper? He was poor today and which is what I mentioned.

 

[De Selby]

Guess you've forgotten the number of saves he has made for us then.

Also (at least up until a couple of weeks ago) he was being forced to make twice as many saves in each game as either Schmeichel or Van der Sar.

Think the injuries and the adjustments we were forced to make to our formation and team were more to blame than De Gaa.

Randall sees what he wants to see. One mistake instantly cancels out 10 good things De Gea might have done.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

I dunno.

I don't think I've ever found him particularly comfortable on corners and crosses. Especially against the bigger men. Its definitely a weakness that has to be worked on.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

One poor game doesnt make him a shit keeper. Typical idiotic reaction in here

Typical failure from some posters to accept that any United players are having a poor time or were at fault. I don't think anyone said he's a shit keeper, but he was a liability today and that's a stone hard fact.

If Lindegard played today we would have gotten at least a draw, simple as that.

 

[Sir Matt]

De Gea shouldn't have played today anyway. Our defense isn't strong enough to make up for his weakness at crosses. Lindegaard is always the better option with the pieced together back line we have. I can only imagine that Fergie wanted to keep the "issue over #1" out of the press. Otherwise, Lindegaard should have started.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Spastics out in full force

He has made more than his fair share of errors this season. why does thinking he is not ready yet make me a spastic?

I am very excited by the keeper he one day will become. But he aint that keeper yet. It will take time

But sadly being Utd's number 1 doesnt allow much time

 

[Wowi]

One poor game doesnt make him a shit keeper. Typical idiotic reaction in here

It's not just one game though, is it? He's been OK after his shaky start, but he's failed to deal with crosses all the time. Opponents just haven't scored right after like today, so people haven't focused on it.

I have no doubt De Gea will become a top keeper for us, but in current state (unable to deal with crosses) I'd rather have Lindegaard in goal.

 

[Cold_Boy]

And that wasn't his only mistake in the game.

I remember he flapped at 2 more crosses. Luckily didnt hurt us.

 

[MalteseRedDevil]

Surprised he was picked today. Lindegaard's form should have kept him in the team. Im not gonna criticize de gea for making mistakes we all expected him to make when he signed.

 

[MUFCgal]

Right now Lindegaard looks more assured and hasn't really made any mistakes of note. Plus, he's yet to concede a goal in the league so I think he should be given a run in the side.

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

He needs to stop being such a pussy when dealing with crosses. Hes bloody talented but he'll forever be a bit of a liability if he doesn't sort out that part of his game.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Made a mistake. It happens.

Made the same mistake three times. Shouldn't happen.

 

[kouroux]

Very bad mistake.His spring seemed low, very weak jump

 

[Orton]

Can't believe some of the reactions. There were plenty of reasons why we lost today and his was only one of them. We went 2 goals down because we were unable to defend the most simplest of situations.

 

[Mr Anderson]

At present, I'm more comfortable with Lindegaard in goal. That's not to say De Gea won't be good enough, but at the moment I think Lindegaard is the better option.

This. DDG is only a young lad in a new country, learning a more competitive style of game. Linde is older and has very good English so can communicate better and has more confidence in himself. It was a terrible attempt of a clearance but by right we shouldnt have being in that position anyways. Early penalty and lackluster first half cost us in the end.

He just needs time to develop the undoubted talent he has.

 

[ha_rooney]

How can you be so certain?

I don't think Fergie is helping the issue by rotating the keepers, stick with one and on current form that should be Lindegaard.

 

[RedLars]

So did Berbatov then.

I don't know if you're being facetious or just plain stupid. I see no point in trying to sweep the fact that he cost us a point under the rug. He'll live and learn, and hopefully grow from it.

Like I said, it was always going to happen. It's the hilarious overreactions to his mistake that are idiotic.

 

[relx]

Knee-jerks

 

[kps88]

What do you expect entering the De Gea thread? Talk about Berbatov or Evra?

 

[Orton]

Lindegaard as I have been saying for a long time is currently better and should be number 1.

These are the mistakes which could cost us the title.

And that wasn't his only mistake in the game.

I remember he flapped at 2 more crosses. Luckily didnt hurt us.

What about Carrick and Jones being unable to handle the "pacey" Yakubu all game? There is more reasons than De Gea's flapped cross, when he missed it Evra and Rafael just stood and watched as Hanley got to the ball and nobody reacted. Shite all round.

 

[CantonaVeron]

Think he just needs time, we all knew he would take a little while to settle he is very young for a goal keeper. Playing infront of such a unsettled defence must be really difficult. He needs experience so dropping him isn't the answer.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

How can you be so certain?

I don't think Fergie is helping the issue by rotating the keepers, stick with one and on current form that should be Lindegaard.

Because I'm pretty sure that Lindegaard would have dealt with that routine punch effectively and therefore we would have gotten the point.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

I thought Rafael was slightly impeded by Yakubu to be fair to him.
