first game i think. didnt play in 2014 due to injury
Hey, we agree to something
Given that our "box" consists of the likes of Jones and Smalling, anything other than De Gea would mean we'd not have played in the CL post 2013.
it was the concussion i tell you
Dave is our boy!Hey, we agree to something
I felt a bit cruel laughing at his howler but then I remembered it's Spain and I hate them.Dave is our boy!
Ok, as Anderson up there said, he is a competition but Alisson. Good keeper but has shined only recently while DDG is on top stage for a good few years now.
I couldn't give a feck he made a mistake for Spain.
He's made about 2 errors in 6 full seasons for us
This.
Oblak yes, Alisson no. Oblak has been otherwordly the last couple of seasons and is crazy consistent.
Having said that, I'd like to see Oblak in a setting where he doesn't have a Simeone coached defense with Godín and Giménez in front of him.
Sergio Ramos concussing his own goalkeeper now!!!
I dont remember, he's a good keeper but as soon as someone shines he's automatically better than DDG. There was even talk about Ederson being better ffs.
took the words out of my mouth
That was a perfectly executed freekick from Ronaldo, and he saw it late.
However, I do think he could have done much better with the freekick preparation: placing himself more centrally & perhaps an extra man on the wall. A better preparation might have had a mental effect on CR7 because you force him to aim for the top corner and thus put a little bit of pressure on him. The way DDG positioned himself, all Ronaldo had to do was overcome the wall and aim for the right side.
He'd pee himself if he had to play behind our defense
Oblak is anything but great at commanding the box. He has been average at it for Slovenia anyway.
The idea that DDG is anything but a Top 3 goalkeeper in the world is ridiculous. To say otherwise would be the most knee-jerk reaction possible.
Maybe the only topics that unite us are the United ones (pun united)
I had a talk with a friend, he claims DDG is at fault partly cause he should have put the wall more to the left or put an extra man there so it would be harder for Ronaldo to score it like he did. I think that's not the case but.
It affects the mental preparation, and that can affect many players. But CR7 has perhaps the best mentality in the world, so I don’t think his execution would have been any different.
Yes, all that sounds like mental gymnastics to discredit an unbelievable goal.
Agreed.

Mourinho: he doesn’t make those mistakes playing for us.

It kinda does. I just wonder how he would have gonna about it if DDG had a small wall and a much better view. I remember Juninho saying that a great FK taker uses the wall against the keeper more than the keeper uses it to protect himself
This top 3 keeper thing is whatever I don't think he is better than Oblak or Alisson or Neuer.
Alisson has one good season at the highest level. I love Oblak, but he is not exactly a perfect keeper either. Neuer has barely played for about a year. Can we calm it down a bit please.
Regardless of what he does for Spain, he has been our most consistent performer since Fergie left. United fans love him and he won't get the same affection anywhere else, even by his own countrymen. United aren't great atm but I think De Gea is more loyal than we think. He knows he would never get boo'd at OT unless he publicly demanded a move. He's handsomley paid and is a global icon. In Madrid however he would be slated for a single mistake and wouldn't get the recognition he does at United. Trophywise he should do all he can to go to Madrid but maybe he sees the bigger picture.
Lol, Alison that no one heard of before last year is better than Dave? Jog on.
Look when people talk about DDG they make it seem like he blows everyone else out of the water when that is simply not the case tbh. His level is no higher than the other 2 this season. He is one of the best but people putting him as some outright GOAT goalkeeper. Actually Ter Stegen was better than him this season as well and I thought overall was probably the best GK this season tbh.
So how many times did you watch Allison play before last season then?
Did you see his performance v Liverpool in the CL?
This is quite a poor era for keeper's.
DDG is a great keeper, but he is certainly not up there with United's and Spain's greatest, let alone football history and his international performances have to be questioned.
Perhaps the state of the pitch caught him out with the first goal? It was difficult to put passes together on a pitch like that.
I really want to know what more does De Gea have to do to be considered a Top 3 goalkeeper. He has been in a consistently brilliant for about 4 fecking seasons. The fact that you're putting Alison and Neuer above him together (one has only been class for a season, the other one hasn't played this season, so your criteria is illogically inconsistent) makes you look like a WUM.
For many people he is. Doesn't mean he's better but he's definitely one of our best ever keepers.
You're really asking for it. One mistake and people can't wait to jump on him. In what world is Oblak and especially Alisson better than De Gea? Where was Alisson before last season? Only Neuer can rival him at the moment, and it's not as if he hasn't had his fair share of feckups.
That's only coz ur expecting DDG levels of saving skills. If it was any other keeper, this wouldn't even be a discussion.
DDGs confidence was low today after that mistake - but any other day, he has a 15% chance of saving it. Not more!
That was a brilliant free kick, which went around the outside of the wall with great power. I've seen the video a number of times. Where the ball ends up in the net is very misleading. It was spinning viciously, it crosses the line right next to the crossbar, but spins in before hitting the net!
Of course he is. What you're looking for is a perfect keeper which is ridiculous quite frankly.
He's allowed to make 1 or 2 mistakes a year. That's literally all we're seeing here.
He messed up in Euro 16 aswell. Maybe im being a bit harsh but since he's widely regarded in England as the best in the world and by some one of the greatest ever, then he's naturally going to get scrutinized more than say Rui Patricio if he makes similar error's.
I would personally rate Schmeichel and VDS higher. You could argue DDG is on their level shot stopping wise but command of area and defense he still lags behind those two, in my opinion.
Yep, definitely no overreaction in this comment.
Worse than Oblak and Alisson, overrated. Redcafe at its best.
Love it!I hope he continues to drop clangers like that for the rest of the tournament. First thing I thought when it went in was "Well, there goes Madrid's interest", they're not going to pay £100m for a GK that throws the ball in his own net during World Cups. Keep it up Dave!
