The guy is simply the best, I don't care for Neuer or Courtois.
Another great performance from De Gea. We honestly need to give him a new deal as soon as possible. What a player!
One on one was one of his weak areas before this season. Great to see that he has improved immensely in that aspect. I'm struggling to see as to why Neuer should be counted ahead of him without any proper debate. Yes Neuer does all the fancy stuff well but in terms of pure goalkeeping, I don't think there's any difference between the two.
Why the feck do interviewers on TV seldom take into account the limitations of a non English speaker? Blasting questions at him quickly and using big words.
Do him a favour and speak slowly and not overcomplicate sentences.

Aguero for City maybe?
Note; my fanside demands this post. Only want to state my view. No offense here.
Saw the game, David had 2 saves of the highest order. Huge respect. But what smoked the guys in this video? Against United alone Man Utd had the 2011 game.
Most of the Davids saves where textbook. Granted; you have to be there, read the game. But not that crazy.
He is one of the best on the level under Neuer. But Man Utd is the best. When David is voted among the 3 best players in the world and had 4 goals against him in 15 league and 5 CL games(the team crashed on him in the City game) we can talk.
He seems a nice guy and I love me some great goalkeeping but he is not on Manus level.
You can hardly judge a goalkeeper on goals conceded when there is such difference in quality of defenders in front of him. Neuer still conceded two goals in that Schalke v Man Utd game because his team was so poor yet it was a better performance that most of the goalkeepers put when they end up with a clean sheet with little to do.
What more could possible De Gea do this season?
David de God.
Nobody is saying De Gea is better than Neuer, but few weeks back you said that De Gea wasnt't even in top 10 goalkeepers which is ridiculous. The only keeper that's better than De Gea at the moment is Neuer.
Neuer let in a soft goal in that 2011 semi-final....Anyway, direct comparisons are not meaningful since de Gea plays behind an ever-changing and fairly average defence for a team rebuilding while Neuer plays for a team who enjoy a position similar to Celtic in Scotland.
Superb performance (again). What a keeper he is now, so composed, agile, good with his feet, great shot stopper. Best in the league by a country mile.
Uniteds team is in the top 10 of world football. He doesnt play for a pup team either. And he doesnt play like today in every game.
Man Utd covers almost a third of the pitch sometimes, builts up our play and and saves also like crazy.
Like I said; David is immense these last weeks and overall very good for the season so far. But Man Utd is 28, in his prime and more experienced.
There cant be a question who is better. Its a level between them.
Pretty sure that I didnt say that. I stand by the fact that there are other great keepers out there. Who is better against who in that pool isnt my debate.
Some called him the best here since the game. That got me a bit as a Bayernfan.

I think only 2 of his saves were outstanding. The Balotelli one and the one on one Vs Sterling. The others were poor finishes or regulation that any top keeper should be saving.
I do think Sky overplayed the De Gea narrative a bit too much and made it seem like we played worse than we actually did.
That said, he's an outstanding keeper no question. We need to sign him to a new deal ASAP.

Did you just quote your own tweet?
Wasn't he brilliant last season as well vs the scousers? Seem to remember him pulling of a worldies in that game
I think it was the manner of the "should have saveds" that they were hyper-praising, the way he always looked in control and didnt react until the attacker had made his mind up. If it was Courtois who did it they'd have been building him a statue in the sky studios
God.

Priceless.
I love you!

I've always been a fan even in the early parts of his career you could see there was a good keeper there. I can't believe how good he is right now he's up there with our best keepers. Give him a solid back four to play with and we might never concede another goal.
Whatever he's asking for, square it.
shh, no.
Huh? Can someone translate what LvG meant?
Whoever is our best paid player should be dethroned by this man. Give him whatever he wants.
This. The media can feck off, Woodward will get the contract done and dusted in due course.
Yeah same. I think the majority of United fans did back him to be fair, and it was more so the media, opposition and a loud minority of United fans who didn't. For his age he was still incredibly talented, and all his lacking areas were ones that you would assume relatively simply to fix with time.
I think that backing could have a huge say in him sticking with the club. Mata mentioned that when he joined De Gea told him that the fans are unbelievable, even sticking with you when things are tough.
Sick of all the German posters on here who refuse to even entertain a suggestion that there is a goalkeeper on Neuer's level. Neuer is a world class goalkeeper but so is De Gea. Really is getting tiresome coming into this thread and they are all having a Neuer love in. Pathetic really.
Classic Louis. He once gave Uli and Kalle(who won CLs, euros and WCs and built the modern Bayern) copies of his book with autographs and said;
"here, you can learn something about football in there".
"Man Utd"
Without a doubt the best goalkeeper in the world. Brilliant performance!
That save against Sterling when it looked like he was going to be rounded
It was great that he didn't commit or panic. Neville and Carragher kept saying "De Gea from a few years ago probably would have come charging at Sterling", but I disagree. He did pretty much the same thing against Torres a few years ago, which resulted in the hilarious miss. And that was in his first season.
the twitter thingredcafe was gennerally supportive of him. Only kietotheworld - who was actually banned about his anti De Gea agenda - and to a degree Count Orduck were saying that Lindegaard was better than him.
For all people who have watched him at Atletico, it was knows that it is only a matter of time since he becomes one of the best in the business. He was already the best shot stopper in the world when he arrived at Manchester.
So, how much are Barca/Madrid going to bid for him?
Yep I think the majority of fans who regularly watched United always liked him. He was young and in a position where there were v few hiding places and although talented he was still learning. Every error was under the microscope and I even remember G Nev getting on his back. I think it was the generally the MOTD watchers who that thought he was a genuine liability.
We now have the finished article though and although we signed him for a fair amount of money it shows that having faith in young players pays off.
As far as I can remember the OT crowd have also always supported him, I don't remember any booing or anything even in his first few months. Happy to be corrected though.
