Abysmal?! That's a bit of an overreaction isn't it?
Not really. Flapping at crosses, whatever he was doing for both goals. Poor on the ball.What?
He really wasn't abysmal.
We're gonna disagree on that one.Not really. Flapping at crosses, whatever he was doing for both goals. Poor on the ball.
Very poor.
The only positive to the display was that he wasn’t the worst keeper on the pitch.We're gonna disagree on that one.
Yeah not at allNot really. Flapping at crosses, whatever he was doing for both goals. Poor on the ball.

Yeah, I’m absolutely correct.Yeah not at all

He trains with DDG after allI think we learnt two things about him last night.
1. He is decent on the ball
2. He is also afraid of it.
DDG would have saved their first goal yesterday. He does not dive away from the ball when here is a shot coming.He trains with DDG after all

Didnt villa score the same type of goal vs DDG on the weekend? HmmDDG would have saved their first goal yesterday. He does not dive away from the ball when here is a shot coming.
He was alright for a second keeper. Should have saved the first goal though, had he kept his body position instead of lowering his arms and making himself smaller, and I think the second was also saveable.
How do you think he could have saved the second one?

He looked as expected, a keeper playing his first game of the season in a cup match. He wasnt outstanding but not poor like some suggest
Given that he failed to stop a goal against the same team from the same position less than a week ago, I've no idea how you could claim this.
Look the replay at 0:30
and compare that to 0:13 in this video:
I think you'll see my point.

The clips show the two goals are not comparable. De Gea did not have the goal go past him the other way, he's actually after the ball but cannot reach it. Dubravka doesn´t go either way, he just dives away. He could have saved it with this left hand if he had done like most goalkeepers do in that situation - making their body as big as possible. Instead, he seems to be just protecting his body. It really looks like he's afraid of being hit by the ball.Both thought it was going one way and then had the goal go past them the other way? I'm not quite sure of your point here.
It doesn't exactly prove ddg saves the shot

This is how he should have acted (2:40 into the video):
You are asking for hard proofs that De Gea would have saved the goal? I'm not sure that is doable.. haha. I'm just saying I think he would have saved it, and many stoppers with him, based on how good goalkeepers act in these situations.If your point is to say they aren't the same , that's fine although I was using hyperbole for the comparison given the similarities
But again it doesn't show how ddg ends up saving the goal when your evidence is him... Not saving a goal ...
Ok fair enough you seemed confident he would.You are asking for hard proofs that De Gea would have saved the goal? I'm not sure that is doable.. haha. I'm just saying I think he would have saved it, and many stoppers with him, based on how good goalkeepers act in these situations.
