Not been having the best tournament really. Hope a summer holiday will sort it out.
 
Watching the Jan Oblak guide on how to save penalties before this was a mistake I think....
 
He dives early, so if you hit it down the middle you have a good chance to score against him. Tough to blame the goalkeeper in a shootout, but I think he needs to work on them.
 
Should’ve saved the 1st pen.

Hopefully he comes back, signs a new contract & concentrates on being a beast for United again.
 
Never been good at saving penalties.

Apart from that he has had a poor tournament but so have other Spanish players.
 
That was a horrible PK performance. 3 out of 4 pens straight down the middle and he misses them all.
 
Why are people blaming De Gea? Not his fault Spain have shite attackers who cannot create a clear chance the whole game.
 
He's not very good at saving penalties. He moves to early and makes it easy for the penalty taker.
 
Not really helping himself being named the best of his generation. I don't like Neuer, but he has definitely proved himself more on biggest occasions. This was a perfect opportunity for him, but I don't think he step up.
 
Not good at pens. Not good at coming off his line. Not really vocal in marshalling the defense. Average distribution and clearances at times.

He is a world class shot-stopper which papers over these cracks. But when he reaches 30-31 years, his shot stopping is sure to decline and the other weaknesses will be exposed. For our sake, he really needs to work on a lot of stuff in terms of improvement.
 
De Gea isn't the reason Spain got knocked out. Their shite tika taka tactics got them knocked out

Oh behave.

Every goalkeeper should be blamed for not saving at least one of those 4 average penalties, let alone someone who people constantly laud as number 1.
 
That was incredibly weak. He is a brilliant goalie, especially on the line. But he lacks mental composure in the biggest games. It's no coincidence that he's struggling for Spain.

:lol: Anyone would think we are talking about shit version of Shay Given here.

Yeah lets ship him of to Madrid... :wenger:

Players now have worked on waiting for the keeper and going the other way. Make them hit their spot, don't make up their mind for them. If they smash it past you, so be it. But don't move early.

Down the middle pens have a huge chance of going in though.
Its the half in the corner, half in the middle that are horribly taken.

A pen down the middle is not average. There is a reason why so many pens down the middle are scored.
 
He’s been poor. That’s the kindest way to describe his World Cup.

No skin off our nose, though. Completely different keeper for us.
