Problem is, Lindegaard is Captain Cock-up.
While true, the fact he's still young doesn't help us at the moment. He seems to need a kick up the arse or something and being dropped might just be that.
Is he degrading to his early days at man utd?
Been a bit shit since the start of the season, if I'm being honest
He's going through his Joe Hart phase, he'll get better, he's a baby for a goalkeeper.
Very harsh. You don't have enough evidence to back that up at all. Ridiculous.
Nobody should be guaranteed starts. De Gea hasn't looked up to par for a while and we might need to give Lindegaard a game if this continues. He needs a wake up call and a spell out of the team might do it. He's showing too much vulnerability for my liking, and hasn't been pulling off saves like we know he can.
He's made enough mistakes in his time here.
We always seem to concede when he plays.
Lindegaard isn't great but reliable i feel.
He's a quality keeper who made a bad mistake, it happens, people need to remember that he was our most consistent player last season and once we get a settled back 4 he'll be fine.
he peaked already
just kidding

Sloppy on the corner. Could it have something to do with us changing GK coaches for the third time?
Hopefully he stays mistake free in the second half.

How will that help him? You back players. If LVG thinks he needs it, he'll talk to David. There's no point people saying drop this player or that. You lose a players confidence. What if who you bring in makes a mistake? Do you drop them too? I would trust LVG to sort it out with the goalkeeping coach.
He's not been great but he's got get another different defence in front of him.
Once the defence get settled it'll help him no end.
I'd still rather have him in net than Lindegaard.

And De Gea hasn't? Regardless of age, if you're going to bring up the amount of mistakes a goalkeeper makes then he's made less than DDG. I'm not supporting or against the idea of dropping De Gea for Lindegaard - but it's harsh to just label Lindegaard that. He's been a very good back up goalkeeper to us - too good to be a back up in all honestly.
West Ham's goal was his fault, and he's been at fault for other goals we've conceded this season. No point beating around the bush. He needs to buck up his game.
It depends on the player. Some players react postively to getting dropped, some just lose confidence. The last time he got dropped De Gea really proved himself and had a couple of great seasons.
Yeah, I'm hoping this is the case. He's been a bit shady at times this season, but like with our new manager, it's still early in the season and difficult to judge. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing, and he'll find his form of last season once he has a more settled defence in front of him.
One save off the near post very good.
But he was all over the place besides that today.
Whether it be distribution, coming or not coming off the line.

He's made mistakes, but I actually think it's been the first time we've conceded a goal that is his fault this season.
He's had a bad start this season BUT he will get better once we settle on a back 4 (IF that happens).
Remember when he used to be good?
Little harsh probably, given what he has playing in front of him. Still, he looks miserable on the pitch, and don't think he'll still be here in 12 months time.

I can understand having a shit day in terms of saves but I don't understand why he takes so long to come off his line.
Poor mistake today, but also a good save in the second half. Otherwise I don't remember big problems or opportunities to save us. He is not in his best form so far and I think in the situation which results in the goal he just wanted to prove that he gets out of his goal, which went completely wrong. I hope that doesn't mean he will not do it anymore and just stay on his line, but please not like that Dave.
I wonder if the constant changes to the GK coach has unsettled him somewhat.
A young keeper like him could use some experienced back up. His kicking has also become very iffy.
What the hell have you been smoking?
Saved smartly in the second half and was generally good after his mistake, although his kicking wasn't great.
He has been poor this season. I fully expect him to bounce back once he gets some semblance of a settled defence in front of him.
Their goal was entirely his fault however other than that I thought he performed very well. One or two smart saves and he commanded the aerial threat very well. His distribution has gone to shit a bit...well simply less good than his pinpoint accurate past.
Sums it up for me.
Ridiculous post.
I said my initial assessment was harsh in the very same post!
As for not being here in 12 months, he doesn't look like he's enjoying it, his distribution is horrendous (a quality Van Gaal prizes very highly for his keepers), his contract expires at the end of next season, and Real Madrid are likely to be in the hunt for a keeper to replace Casillas long-term. Is it nailed on he's off? - no of course not, but it's not a 'ridiculous' thing to speculate on.
Anyway, he had a bad day, and has made a poor start to the season. Lets hope he turns it around.
He clearly doesnt trust his defence. Given it keeps changing time and time again, and the number of mistakes, it will happen to any goalkeeper. This was the problem Howard at when he was with us.
Once he gets a settled defence in front of him, he will feel more confident, the communication will come and he will cut out the mistakes.

I think that's probably right.
No you said it was a "little harsh probably". It was quiet clearly very harsh. If you thought it was harsh why would you even say it? Also his distribution is not horrendous. What about the great throw to Di Maria today? His distribution seems to have regressed a bit since SAF retired but overall there is not much wrong with it and it certainly isn't "horrendous".
He strikes me as a player that loves the club. He is Athletico through and through so he won't be joining Real if he was to leave.
That's part of his problem though, he's the keeper and should be aware of his surroundings more or communicating more with the defence. He has had stable defences in his time as well. Rafael, Rio, Vidic and Evra for example isn't exactly a bad defence.
I heard a few people say that at the game, it was such a straight forward save, was literally straight at him, f he didn't save it I'd be hugely worried. People seem to clutch at straws to praise him at times.
He's started the season slow but so have a lot of players, all the defence (him included) need to improve a lot. If it was any other keeper he'd be slated on here for that goal, regardless of their defence in front of them.
So nitpicking aside, we both agree that assessment was harsh, we both agree his distribution has regressed/is regressing, and neither of us have any idea whether or not he'd join Real Madrid.
I think Sylar is right, once Rojo, Shaw, Rafael and one other are settled in front of him, his form will probably pick up.
I fully agree he should be more commanding and aware, he should definitely be blamed for what happened. It's understandable why he isn't though.
That may be a good defence but how often did he actually have that four in front of him for a run of games?
For the most part he's been fine as well but with the uncertainty at the back we've got, it's not a surprise he's making mistakes trying to compensate for their shambolic displays.
I agree that his distribution has regressed but not to the point that it is "horrendous". I would be very surprised if he went to Real. I expect him to renew his contract.
It goes without saying that a settled back 4 will be huge for him. It would be the same for any other goalkeeper. If Vidic and Ferdinand from a few years ago were playing today he would not be coming for that corner.
LVG won't drop de Gea over his distribution because it's miles better than Lindegaard's distribution.
