It was a clear foul.
Thought it was really soft, personally.

Yep, one of my biggest dissapointments with De Gea outside of being able to transition into a modern keeper is his complete lack of personality. He's been at the club for nearly a decade and still comes across as a mute with zero communication or leadership in the backline. It's telling that he got the captaincy taken off him like you said. In a dressing room that has lacked leaders as much as it has in recent times he should have taken it upon himself to be one.Elite level shot-stopping and Championship standard in every other facet of being a goalkeeper.
Communication? Dreadful.
Distribution? Piss-poor.
Command of the box? Non-existent.
Zero fight in him either. His attempt at arguing for a foul amounted to giving Oliver puppy-dog eyes and a shrug of the shoulders. No wonder he lost the captaincy.
He's got an arm in his face which is stopping him from attacking the ball properly. It's a foul every time.
I just think it's soft. One of those where VAR has just gone with the referee's decision.
Is there an example of VAR over turning anything similar all season?
I agree it was a foul and I do rate DeGea but generally he's very weak at crosses. Pickford would of took out all players around him to get to that ball then probably would of got a foul in his favour which is pretty ironic. Unfortunately DeGea is lacking in the courage department. Once his reflexes go he's finished but hopefully that won't be for a few years yet.He's got an arm in his face which is stopping him from attacking the ball properly. It's a foul every time.
Perhaps a good idea, but Romero will also have to deal with his own defense's nervousness and clearing out the ball striaght to oppo players.Another game, another goal conceded. Time to give Romero a chance? Maybe bring back Henderson in January, he has arguably been the best GK in the league.
Twice in a week his inability to deal with crosses has cost us goals.
He made one but critical mistake and of course team can never make up for it, so apprently he needs to be 120% on top of his form every game, because some of his team mates are simply shite and never had one fully consistent season in United from the looks of it.
The corner was caused by team's despicable 'ability' to clear the ball straight to Everton player few good times.
Dave did goofed but this team is such a weak fest it's horrible we can't give De Gea proper defensive lineup from few good years.
In that case we have to sign the best goalkeeper in the world, because this defense isn't providing any help, maybe except Bissaka's sliding tackles and Maguire's outmuscling ability. De Gea's not a sacred cow and so is Lindelof who according by many had his moments last season where we conceded also through his passive attitude both in the air and ground.That's literally the job of a goalkeeper. To be relied upon every time. You cant compare keeping blunders to strikers missing chances. Total different roles.
De gea has been costing us points for two seasons now. Everytime were just reminded of how good a shot stopper he is and how he has saved us points many seasons ago as if that justifies what he is upto now.
We would have been in the champions league had he not made mistakes last season. Hes pretty shaky keeper and definitely not worth his wages.
This isnt knee jerk I've been saying it for a while and fully realize he might go on to have 5 or 6 amazing games but an elite or world class keeper cant have purple patches. they need to be extremely consistent
I fully believe that if we gave Dean Henderson a chance this season and spent the money we wasted on Maguire for our midfield and CAM position, we would be easily in the top 4. De Gea has shown absolutely nothing to warrant being the highest payed GK in the world, another total waste of resources.
