I can't imagine what he's feeling right now. We should've beaten them in 90 mins comfortably.
It's such an enigma. How can a goalkeeper, who can pull off unbelievable saves and be a very good shot stopper, be so utterly useless at saving penalties? He could've faced 20 or 30 and I don't think he would have got close to any of them. It's so bad.
Shit penalty.
The usual morons will complain about not saving one
And I was defending him just yesterday.
I can't believe this. 11 pens. 11 fecking pens not a single save.
Feck the feck off.
I'd expect a keeper to save a penalty in 36 attempts but maybe that's just me.
Depends who takes the penalty and where it's placed.
It's all about his technique on them. It just isn't good.
It was better than Shaw's at least. If the keeper dives the other way we're saying different.We all know he's terrible at saving pens, but his pen was pathetic.
thanks for the humour.Depends who takes the penalty and where it's placed.
Yes and if de gea masturbates whilst diving mid air to save a pen we call him bonkers.It was better than Shaw's at least. If the keeper dives the other way we're saying different.
How about if stevie wonder takes oneDepends who takes the penalty and where it's placed.
Shaw's at least had a bit of power. David's looked softer than sponge.It was better than Shaw's at least. If the keeper dives the other way we're saying different.
He hasn’t saved one in 36 consecutive attempts, I’d say that’s pretty fecking badHe's doesn't actually have a bad record over his career
Peter Schmeichel was never a good penalty saver either
He didn't even look like he was going to get close to 1. It's not that he missed or even conceded the 11, its how he looked whilst doing it. From the first 2 pens I knew we'd lose.Penalties are always a lottery. Anyone can score and miss. Heck I would most definitely miss but I may also score.
It's really bad and it bothers me. I know it's a tough and often quite lonely role being a goalkeeper, so I'm trying not to put the boot in too much. But, you'd think for a keeper of his quality he would have worked on this over the years or put the hours in to even get a little better.
Pretty gutted for him, if that’s to be his last kick of a ball at United. He’s become a bit of a figure of fun among some over the last couple of years, which have been rough for him, but he was our best player for years and he kept us competitive when the squad was a mess at times.
Yet again when there is pressure he is found wanting, oles first season, crunch time in the top 4 race, bottles it, semis, bottles it, Leipzig, bottles it, tonight? Same fecking story.
