State of this place is absolutely laughable.....anyone thinking Ronaldo or Messi are shit for missing them this WC?

He's the best keeper in the world, and we're lucky to have him. Spain dont deserve nice things.
I should feel bad but a poor performance for him means 1) Less likely he buggers of to Spain 2) Spain are out.
So I'm quite happy. Spain were really poor. The upcoming players like Isco are not all that. Players like Iniesta, David Silva and Xavi are class but they're old/retired now.

You think United fans enjoy admitting their best player didn't play to his level? He had a shocker on some of these pens especially the one that slid under him. It was very very saveable
And 5 of those were from utter defensive cockups.
2 penalties, a freekick from just outside the box, a 1 on 1 and a completely unmarked header from a corner
Come home Dave
I'm not blaming De Gea for Spain going out, that's a collective issue.
But the Russian PENS, for me, were so shit. He should have done better.

He would probably save one or two of his last 6 or 7 which would be a huge improvement.
Most pens that are ever taken are savable tbh, but the overwhelming majority of pens aren't saved.
He didn’t have a great World Cup, but their backline did him no favours with their constant mistakes. Two pens and that one on one versus Morocco. Spain were almost overly confident.
So did entire Spain's team. Maybe because he reject Madrid he's not very welcoming in Spain. You can replace him with Kepa and Spain will still win jackshit in this WC with that pathetic gameplan.
.....and Messi and CR's reputation?
He's always been bad at penalties. Hard to figure out why.
I only count from his United carrier onward. 5/28 = 17%
Fair enough.
Maybe it has more to do with him not performing for the national team. If you don't deliver, you can't expect a lot of love.
He’s not great with penalties to be fair 
And some even more saveable than others. The one that went under him in particular was a blunder
I hope the Real Madrid board are as harsh as some of you lot.
In fairness, I never fancy him at penalties and his inability to come out and sweep until he absolutely has to can be irritating and cost us corners. Can't be perfect, I suppose.

I can’t believe this has been bumped, are there seriously Man Utd ‘fans’ who even dare question his ability?
Utter shit in the shootout. Penalties have never been his forte but extremely feeble goalkeeping. Come home Dave!
Who gives a feck how he does for Spain? They wouldn't appreciate him either way whilst he's at United.
As long as he carries on doing the business for us, we should all be happy.
Unless you're Spanish, obviously...
Shouldn't impact us much until he gets too old and his reflexes decline. But just to be safe, I hope Jose has Romero on pens if the opportunity comes next season.
That's hindsight.
De Gea should have done better in the shootout as well as his pathetic performance v Portugal you can see why he's being questioned.
Besides, at club level he plays behind a really poor defence so he's always being tested. Only 4 keepers made more saves than him last season and two of them played for relegated sides. It seems that when he's playing with Spain he struggles to keep his concentration because he's only tested once in a blue moon.
Now come home and continue being the best in the world for us, all good.
Most of the best goalkeepers that are good at pens are pretty shit at anything else. It's like saying Messi doesn't score enough with his right. As a goalkeeping coach it comes with practice and don't know the stats but I'm not sure how many he's faced for Utd or Spain in normal play.
It's hardly a secret that De Gea isn't good at stopping PK. From the top of my head I only remember 3 times he didn't concede: against RvP, Baines & Gerrard's miss.
He really didn't save many.
He really didn't save many.
They were already pretty much the undisputed best two players of the generation, having performed in the biggest games repeatedly over many years. David hasn't really had the chance to show his worth in the CL, and his international performances haven't been good. He isn't anywhere near that established and of course his reputation will take a hit.
Clueless post. There are loads of times for United especially at OT where he had nothing to do all match and makes a cracking save just at the end. It's just lazy generalisation that he lacks concentration.
People should start watching United before posting nonsense. He's been a great keeper for United for five years and even in Ferguson years. How can he suddenly have concentration issues.
This match should never come to penalties at all if Spain had some clear game plan to begin with. Poor performance all around but to put the blame on De Gea just plain stupid.
Definitely, haven't watched us play much then.
Oh dear. There are so many games where he had to make few saves and did it. At the start of the season people even said we don't rely on him that much anymore. sounds like a post who never watches ManUtd games.
I don't think he's particular bad at penalties, he's just not good.
He support Celtic. Too busy to wacth mighty Scottish league maybe.
There’s nothing wrong with saying he had a poor World Cup
@Pink Moon probably only watches us play against the top sides with that assumption.
Whats Reina's record like? I was sure Hierro was going to make him his extra time sub.
Yet he’s had no problem with the Spanish youth teams, with Fergie or under Van Gaal where we played like Spain have this tournament every single game.
De Gea has a lot to prove yes but it goes far deeper then this, Pique has hands down had one of the worst tournaments ever and Ramos doesn’t always inspire confidence either.
That's a really odd perception. Your memory's failing you here because under LVG he was voted the best keeper in the league despite making fewer saves than the likes of Cech and Lloris.
