It's why I think Neuer will be remembered as the superior goalkeeper from this generation.

De Gea has yet to replicate his club form at international level and have a standout tournament like Neuer at the WC '14 and until he does, that won't change.
Neuer was great in South Africa 2010 too.

Neuer will definitely be remembered as the best goalkeeper of this decade.
 
The number of morons who think he is the best even after fecking it up at the big stage... wow. Right now, this wc performance will decide whether he is only a club specialist or if he can do great things for his nation

Take some time off from this thread.

:lol:
 
De Gea at worst is the second best GK in the world after Neur. I think that's the fair assessment till he performs for his national team as the latter but at the end, that doesn't even concern us as long as he's doing the job for United.

It's one game. Chill out.

Some legendary players have had absolute nightmares on the World stage. Maradona, Ronaldo (fat and CR7), Zidane etc; etc;
 
He must be developing a real complex playing for Spain. How many howlers has he had now?

Still, keeps Madrid away. Best sign that new contract Dave.

Yeah fair enough opinion.

Wind your neck in.
 
I don't think that anyone can deny that DDG is a great goalkeeper. The question is whether or not he's the best goalkeeper on the planet.

Neuer was great in the 2010 World Cup, great in the 2014 World Cup, and has consistently performed at a high level for many years in the Champions League.

Neuer will definitely be remembered as the best goalkeeper of this generation. Anyone who denies this is living in a bubble.
 
The problem for De Gea perception-wise is that he's had less time playing on the biggest stages (CL & WC) than would ordinarily be the case for a player of his quality.

He is still in fact the best goalkeeper on the planet though. At this stage one game shouldn't change anyone on this forum's opinion of him either way.

To be fair, there are far loads of assumptions made on just one match right. It was only his second World Cup match if I'm not wrong. Could be a case of nerves.

Neuer strikes you as mentally strong and certain of himself.

DDG less so. From when he very first arrived and looked like a rabbit in the headlights, he doesn't seem as capable of coping with pressure. Back then Fergie looked after him and kept him out of the firing line when it was getting too much for him. For Spain there are questions and he keeps making daft errors. He's absolute top dog at United and he's far more comfortable in that environment.

You say that but I have seen Neuer commit some absolute blunders himself. No GK is 100 % mistake-free.

Based on what exactly?

I watch Serie A and I La LIga and I think both Alisson and Oblak are better.
 
As long as he plays world class football for us, i don't care how he performs for Spain.

:lol: a club specialist! One mistake and now the past 4 years are irrelevant. All GK make mistakes, DDG's was just on a big stage. He will go on and save Spain when it matters.

Based on his outstanding performances for one of the biggest clubs on the planet over the last half decade. Obviously.
 
I couldn't give a feck he made a mistake for Spain.

He's made about 2 errors in 6 full seasons for us :D

An Oblak had out standing performances that got Atlertico to a cl final and second in a harder league...

Alisson is as good for Roma and benches Ederson for Brazil

I couldn`t give a feck if he makes a howler every game for Spain.Just don`t do for us!
 
Last time he done anything like that for us Adnan Januzaj was our best player. Can do it all he wants at International level for all I care.

You really think specifically for goalkeepers the Spanish league is harder than the English? The English league is much harder for keepers. Look at Bravo for crying out loud.

Oblak is great and for my money #2 but let's not act like he doesn't have Europe's best defense and the hardest working midfield from a defensive contribution standpoint in front of him.

Oblak ok there is competition there. If we were to lose DDG he’s the only person i’d be ok with to replace him. For me it’s probably still DeGea out of those two but it is damn close. Can’t say I’ve ever really watched Allison.

Anyone remember when all you had to do to beat Neur was take a long ranger. He had some absolute howlers at Schalke and Bayern.
 
Here I am wishing for DDG to have a shit WC so that Real Madrid loses interest forever, everyone hates him in Spain and he finds comfort to play for Manchester United
 
Sacrificing his international reputation so Madrid won’t think he’s all that and won’t try to buy him. Top red is our Dave !
