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.
first game i think. didnt play in 2014 due to injury

Hey, we agree to somethingAmen to that
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.not worse but I'd take Oblak over him. better at commanding the box
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.not worse but I'd take Oblak over him. better at commanding the box
I couldn't give a feck he made a mistake for Spain.
He's made about 2 errors in 6 full seasons for us
Based on what exactly?
I watch Serie A and I La LIga and I think both Alisson and Oblak are better.
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.Yeah, funny wasn't Allison getting slagged off and completely wank for the Liverpool games?
took the words out of my mouthI felt a bit cruel laughing at his howler but then I remembered it's Spain and I hate them.
Could have done better for the freekick. Not per se a mistake, but he could have done better. Seen them saved
He'd pee himself if he had to play behind our defenseHaving 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.
Oblak is anything but great at commanding the box. He has been average at it for Slovenia anyway.not worse but I'd take Oblak over him. better at commanding the box
Maybe the only topics that unite us are the United ones (pun united)took the words out of my mouth
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.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.

Yes, all that sounds like mental gymnastics to discredit an unbelievable goal.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.

Agreed.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.
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 himselfYes, all that sounds like mental gymnastics to discredit an unbelievable goal.
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.
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.This top 3 keeper thing is whatever I don't think he is better than Oblak or Alisson or Neuer.

This is quite a poor era for keeper's.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.
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.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.

For many people he is. Doesn't mean he's better but he's definitely one of our best ever keepers.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.
This top 3 keeper thing is whatever I don't think he is better than Oblak or Alisson or Neuer.
Well I don't think it is impossible. A better prepared keeper can save it.
Of course he is. What you're looking for is a perfect keeper which is ridiculous quite frankly.This is quite a poor era for keeper's.

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.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.
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.For many people he is. Doesn't mean he's better but he's definitely one of our best ever keepers.
Yep, definitely no overreaction in this comment.This top 3 keeper thing is whatever I don't think he is better than Oblak or Alisson or Neuer.
Love it!Worse than Oblak and Alisson, overrated. Redcafe at its best.
