De Gea - Fiorentina watch

Happy for him, I liked the save he pushed onto the bar
 
Didn't watch the game but seems like he had few really good saves during the game and then saved 1 penalty in shootouts. Not sure if he ever saved a penalty for us during shootouts? Anyway, well done to David, nice start to his career there.

De Gea at Fiorentina, Smalling at Roma, Sanchez at Udinese, Darmian and Mkhitaryan at Inter, McTominay and Lukaku at Napoli... United 17/18 vibes. Also Forson at Monza and Varane at Como. So many ex-United players currently in Serie A.
 
Always a red. Definitely one of my beloved United icons. Always treated the club and fans with utmost respect.

Glad to see him playing and wish him all the best
 
That was a top class save.

We do need a Gk capable of top class saves.
 
Watched highlights from the game and I'm guessing he was MOTM, made some good saves and somehow saved a penalty. Well done Dave

 
Onana is better than dave with his feet but i think when the ball is in his hands Dave is quick to release and try start a counter. Onana does this thing where he holds it for a while.

It's a feature, not a bug.
 
You'll have people saying he should have smothered the cross
Ha .. probably if he's still with us. But haven't seen it in here.

We have one.

Also, that save was nothing special. Was expecting much more after reading your post. The header was straight at him.
Many people agreed that it was a top save. It's subjective..
 
Glad he had a great game. Terraciano was good last season and did quite well in his 2 league games so far, so De Gea does have very good competition for the GK spot... But if hes playing decently surely he'll start, else why would they offer him such high wages. Goalkeeper should be Fiorentina's strong point.

Also they signed Gudmundsson so they should get some goals going forward. I didnt think they'd do much with Gonzalez going to Juventus, but that signing should make up for it
 
League debut not going well. Conceded 3 in the first half.

They were well taken goals that you probably wouldn't fault the keeper for. One you might wonder if he should have come for the cross but it's not like any of his team mates went for it either.

He also made a series of saves in the second half that kept them in the game.
 
1 great save and 2 penalties saved tonight.
That fantastic goalkeeper we all admired is coming back.
 
What a complete waste it was signing Onana over Dave. We don't even use Onana for his strengths and he's absolutely useless at shot stopping.

You must have missed Dave's last couple of seasons
 
I'm starting to think all our coaches here are reaaaaaally bad at their job.
 
He won the Golden Glove in his last season and was pretty immense for large periods

Golden glove doesnt even come into it.

His contract was up, he had dropped well below his top level for about 5 years and it wasn't worth signing him up on a longer deal even at half his previous wage.
 
A below form or declining de Gea is still worth more points to us than a lad who can't save and who plays in a system that doesn't suit his play.

How many times has the coaching staff been replaced over the years?

What difference has it made?

Seems to me like whoever comes here - be it players, managers, coaches, whoever - they automatically turn to utter garbage for no apparent reason.
 
I'm glad he's playing again and seemingly doing decent. Doesn't change the fact that we eventually needed to move on and as we did there's no reason looking back.

We had a below or declining De Gea for the last 2 seasons of his time here. He wasn’t worth much to us.
