Watch the second goal, Smalling and Valencia share far more of the blame than di Maria. Valencia, who started off by tracking Sanchez, completely forgets he's the right back and starts playing as a third center back. Smalling, who should realise that he, as the defender, should cover Valencia, doesn't bother and also joins in with Valencia and Rojo. Ridiculous defending, intelligence, team work and concentration from the two.

Yea I agree that defending against Ox was simple clowning but in the end it was ADM's man who was completly uncovered by him, he didn't bother tracking back.
 
Every time Iker has a poor game for Madrid I get a little more worried.

Heh same here, I think he will leave in the summer as I'm not sure we will finish in the top 4, for a fee no one will be happy about but he only has one year left on his contract.

It would be better to keep for that last year even if he ends up leaving for free as he wouldn't command a high fee. If we fail to get CL next season then having the best keeper in the world would boost our chances for 2016.

Possibly I would lean that way too, but De Gea will still go for around £20m I'd imagine and I can imagine the club finding it difficult to say no to that especially with no CL income again.

I'd imagine that they would sell too, but even with no CL we are still flush with cash and don't have to sell.
 
Why can't Real go for Cech? :(

Can't say I'm confident even if we get CL football that he'll stay.

Oh "simple clowning" is far too friendly, non-existent is more suitable. The defending for that goal was worse than what you'll see in a school game. Blaming di Maria is quite harsh as he should never have been required to chase down Monreal, as there shouldn't have been so much time and space afforded for their left back. Avoid situations, avoid excuses.

We don't even know if Real is going for anyone. They have Navas on the bench, who is a very good keeper and Iker is such a legend there, that they play him despite having a superior keeper on bench, so we don't know if they want or need a goalkeeper right now anyone. And we also don't know if he wants to join them as Atletico, so sit and relax till we know something concrete, CL qualification is key and there were also a lot of rumours that it's not unlikely that he could stay, but people always ignore that and make the Real rumours a fact ;)

Btw, why does he have an average rating of 6.9? That's way too low, my personal rating is on 7.8, which is far better imo. He is one of the best players in the PL and the main reason why we are still in the Top4.

He had a 'slow' start to the season where people were critical of him (myself included). Without the MK Dons match and probably the Leicester match I would think his rating would be much higher.

Yeah true, but even then he wasn't really bad or did mistakes. He just didn't do anything special, but did people really give him a 2 or 3? Because some 5 or 6s should already be outdone by all the great votes in the last few weeks. There were not many games in the last few weeks where I would give him something under 7 to be honest.
 
If he's named POTY again this year he'll be up there alongside Keane ('98-'00), van Nistelrooy ('01-'03) and Ronaldo ('06-'08) as one of just 4 players to win it in consecutive years which is quite incredible for a goalkeeper.

He has been incredible these past two seasons, I think this season is better than last season.

Kind of highlights how bad the rest of the team has been as well though.
 
He saved a goal with his butt at the end.
 
What a video, seriously, that's just f..... brilliant. We need to keep him and no way would I swap him for Bale
 
Anyone else feel like the main reason he could be leaning (reportedly) towards a transfer to Madrid is to cement his place as Spanish national team's #1 ? Might be wrong but Premier League based Spanish players (Silva for example) have alluded to a preference for La Liga based players (specifically Real Madrid and Barcelona) by the selection committee/ decision making body. If De Gea joins Madrid as a guaranteed starter ahead of Casillas, surely that's curtains for Iker which combined with Valdes' decline and Reina's lack of minutes propels De Gea to the forefront.

Del Bosque is planning on making him #1 regardless. He has already started one of the last international games. Altough I don't remember if it was just a friendly or not.
