His goalkeeping for the third should be a fine-able offence it's so bad

Would be interesting so see one picture of Calvert-Lewin and De Gea's positions when Everton won the first header, and one when Calvert-Lewin touches the ball, next to each other. From the video, it looks like he moves triple the distance of De Gea to reach the ball first.
De Gea has been killing us for years, sadly.
Clear to see too. I never have any faith when it goes on target, I hope Ole drops him now.
He should be faded out this season, Henderson should play all Cup games and some remaining league games
The first one is a terrible bit of keeping, lower level stuff which tells me he wasn't switched on.
The thing with the third goal is maybe he doesn't get there and they score regardless but ffs dave do something, do anything! He just moves out of the way its cowardly and absolutely unacceptable at this level

On a positive note, you are 100% correct.
On a negative note, I have to warn you that you are entering a world of pain if you think anything will be done about it. I've been saying this for ten years but all that happens is you get accused of having a personal vendetta against the lad or that you're not a real fan.
I've said this about a million times now, but what is it going to take for our fans and, more importantly, our coaching staff, to realise how big of a problem this is?
It's a coincidence that the fecker happens to be standing there. He needs to stand close to the post to avoid being beaten near post, when the cross comes he can't just let it sail past him and risk someone being behind, so he tries to get as much on it as possible.
I lost faith when he was making error after error soon after Solskjaer was appointed on a permanent basis. Nothing that has happened since has made me reconsider.
What on earth was he doing for their first goal ? There was no danger from the cross because there was no Everton player in a position to reach it until De Gea gifted them the goal.
As for the third, we've seen it so many times before. De Gea's priority is avoiding a collision with the opposing player. When Calvert-Lewin chests the ball, he is stood slightly further away than the penalty spot, his shot comes from just inside the 6 yard box, De Gea's initial position is about two yards from his goal.

It’s clear that Calvert-Lewin haunts him in his dreams.
I'm fecking sick of watching him do that cowardly move when someone is through on goal where he slightly twists his body.
He's making himself smaller, it's the exact fecking opposite of what he should be doing.

A reliable keeper or the DeGea of old and United win that match comfortably. Solskjaers faith in DeGea has not been rewarded. Henderson needs extended run in the side now.
This lack of anticipation/awareness/command of the box and bravery has always been in his game, from the day he signed for us.
In my opinion, it has been so bad that I genuinely didn't think he was ever good enough for us no matter how good his shot-stopping was because overall I felt he cost us more goals than he prevented.
Throughout the years, I was willing to agree to disagree on this, however now that his shot-stopping ability has basically gone as well, I'm sorry but nobody could possibly ever convince me that he should even be playing at this level, nevermind be the highest paid player in the league.
As I've said a million times now, what is it going to take for people to realise how much of a major issue this is?
We could have Van Djik and Koulibaly at centre-back and still concede goals because they'd be getting zero assistance from their keeper.

So, so poor. First goal inexcusable really. It's something he would do in his first season with us.
I just knew when he made the final goal kick we would concede. Why the feck doesn't he boot it down towards their corner flag?! Instead he aimlessly tries to aim for someone in the centre and we end up conceding a free kick...
I've rewatched the equaliser a good few times. What the feck is he at??! As the header is made he's flapping his hands, doesn't react quick enough to the flick onto DCL and literally half-arse walks towards him.
I'm fuming.

Lets be honest, he’s a proper fanny isn’t he?
Doesn't just read the situation and catch the poor effort like even a sunday-league keeper would have.
I think it’s time we start looking to replace De Gea now. There’s no denying he’s been a great player for us, he was the best in the world at one point but where as before he would earn us so many points a season he’s now doing the opposite and costing us to many points. If we have serious aspirations of winning the title then we need a solid keeper that can be trusted and sadly I don’t think De Gea is anymore.
Pretty much identical to the Kluivert one against Leipzig then and many more like it.
He got away with it all those times so he probably just thinks this is good enough.
Point being, you can forgive the odd mistake but when it's the same thing costing us over and over and the player in question doesn't get dropped then it's the coaching staff's fault.
Ever since that world cup he's dropped off a cliff, making loads of errors. It's so sad, as for years he seemed to be nearly invincible.
Roy Keane was made out to be some sort of hater for simply pointing out these huge flaws in De Gea's game.
He was literally just pointing out the blatantly obvious, and is probably baffled, like I am, how everyone else can't see how much of a problem it is.

You have no authority in your box David De Gea!
The replay is only making me angrier. Baby-stepping out like that, Christ above.
Which was 2.5 years ago and people are still calling this a blip and thinking he will turn it around.
On that world cup performance, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it was statistically the worst performance of a goalkeeper at a world cup ever.
Throw in his champions league blunders for us and it's quite clear that when he steps up to that elite level, he gets found out even more.
Highest paid player in the league ladies and gentlemen.
Shit himself and cost us the FA Cup semi final at Wembley last season too.
He's not a man for the big occasion. Or indeed any occasion any more.
There are many examples. Son's 1st goal earlier in the season too.
Coming off his line assertively has always been a massive issue for him. Teams stopped targeting him for some reason after a year or so, but he never fixed that part of his game.
The first one isn't a mistake, third one is.
The cross is just far enough out that he can't get a proper punch on it, and he can't just let the cross go as he can't know if Doucoure gets in behind and scores, which would've been a mistake.
He does the only thing he can do in that situation. It's pure coincidence and luck on Evertons part that it ends up in the legs of Doucoure
Shaw hardly covers himself in glory in that situation, ends up ballwatching when he knows where Doucoure is, all he should do is block his path instead of worrying where the ball might go

When is the management gonna grow a pair and drop this pussy?
Kill the player in front of you. Not De Gea.
I wouldn't ask to kill a man. That's silly.
There's only Shaw out of the back 5 I fully trust.
DDG is past it. Wan Bissaka can't pass a football and plays people onside. Lindelof n Maguire are both too slow and get dominated in air.
We are top scorers in the league but conceded more goals than everyone in top half.

DDG is a fantastic shot stopper, but he is not a brave goalkeeper, and overall I think we would benefit from a change, giving Hendo a run in the team.
Certainly 'rest' DDG for the FA Cup and see how it goes.

The first one is clearly a mistake by De Gea.
I find it baffling you're trying to defend him on that.
Not anymore.
Ole doesn’t have the balls to drop him. He’s the first name on the teamsheet and will continue to be.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure OPTA's stats have officially recorded it as an error leading to a goal. His first such error this PL season.
Weakly pushing the ball straight to the feet of the everton player? Under fecking no pressure.
Catch it, or punch the ball harder and further away.
You're the only person on the entire internet I've seen try and claim it's not an error.
I'm starting to question if he actually applies himself as he should when training/preparing and if he actually even gives a feck anymore? I can't imagine any other keeper being as spineless as he was for that 3rd goal given the circumstances..
Henderson may or may not be good enough but at least he cares..?

Fair enough, buddy.
So fudging tired of this clown, and the tv camera on his gormless face after yet another cock up.
Said it a couple of weeks ago but Henderson should be playing now, he may never be good enough but he'll do the basics like come off his line for Everton's third.
