Maybe for Liverpool or City..

Donut · 7th February 2012, 23:33

He is seriously slightly built. He's 6.4 feet tall, but he doesn't look to have more than 70 kilos. This is easily fixable (although he may lose some agility?) and it would really help him a lot.

It really, spectacularly, truly, totally, profoundly isn't.

marjen · 8th February 2012, 07:39

It was mentioned in the Norwegian PL-show that van der Sar's weight was 12 kilos(don't know how much that is in british scale) more at the end of his career than when he started.

That's substantially more weight, which would've helped him in some areas.

kouroux · 11th February 2012, 14:46

Another amazingly important save

Lynk · 11th February 2012, 14:48

Well in De Beard. Lindegaard has it tough to try and displace him if he stays on this form.

ha_rooney · 11th February 2012, 14:50

Excellent save at the end despite having fuck all to do all game.

There was one pass he made in the first half which was Scholesesque precision.

MST3K · 11th February 2012, 14:54

not much to do today but his distribution was excellent and a good save at the end.

Cold_Boy · 11th February 2012, 14:55

That save surely saved us 2 points.

And the ball wasn't on the ground when he passes it. Was brilliant.

Commentators were tamer on him today. Spoke alright about him before the game. Doing only good against Chelsea and now Liverpool will have good effect I hope.

bergen · 11th February 2012, 15:00

I think he'll be immense next season. The goalkeeping staff will work on his weaknesses, he'll have the eye surgery, learn some english, hit the gym, delete facebook, lawyer up and switch to a credit union.

LLMU · 11th February 2012, 15:04

Top keeper. he will be one of the best in years to come.

Raven Blade · 11th February 2012, 15:41

The positive thing for him with Lindegaard out is that he surely has to keep playing and improving his overall game. It will take time for him to adjust and deal with English football better, but throwing him back in at the deep end should bring quicker benefits.

R_Kelly · 11th February 2012, 15:45

Very little to do really which makes that save even better IMO, and it was a good save.

ricky-romeo · 11th February 2012, 15:46

shame he could not enjoy a clean sheet today, has to do nothing all day apart from that great save from johnson.

Commadus · 11th February 2012, 15:50

Summed up his game in one minute - first a brilliant save and then the miss for Suarez header - yes Suarez was offside but De gea judgement was bad.

He is possibly the best ball playing GK I have seen.

Randall Flagg · 11th February 2012, 15:58

Good save, but c'mon if it had gone in it would have been a massive error

But I was pleased that he did seem more assured in his kicking today. Apart from that he had feck all to do

Brophs · 11th February 2012, 16:11

I thought he was good all but he still has to work on crosses; he was nowhere for the Suarez header at the end. That will come with time though.

Annihilate Now! · 11th February 2012, 16:58

Looked much more confident today, and put in a good performance to show to him.

The accuracy of his distribution is just exceptional. There was a moment in the first half where we won a throw-in on the left hand side, and he pinged the ball out of his hands straight to Evra's hand, he didn't even have to move an inch. Myself and the people around me in the Stretford End loved it...

Saw that aswell, drool worthy.

It seems any goal he concedes is seen as an "error" on his part. People don't seem to realise that a goalkeeper doesn't always save the ball. He was solid today, but then I never have any worries about the lad. He is very calm and composed and really has a fantastic big game mentality. His reaction to the handshake incident made me proud of him especially.

kps88 · 11th February 2012, 17:24

I agree with Randall, that was the sort of save you expect your keeper to make. Pretty much straight at him. Didn't have much to do today, all of Liverpool's set pieces were hit away from him.

Cheesy · 11th February 2012, 17:46

I'd say that his performance today summed up the sort of goalkeeper he is at the moment, in all honesty.

He displayed his weakness of not knowing when he should go for the ball and when he should stay, but he also showed us his undoubted shot stopping ability as well.

prateik · 11th February 2012, 17:49

The things he is lacking in, his decision making at times, will improve with experience and age.
He has the talent and the reflexes. Those are harder to 'learn'
Rather have it this way than the other way round.

MUFCgal · 11th February 2012, 17:51

Great save towards the end of the match.

I think he'll be much, much better next season and hopefully the errors will start and be weeded out.

gbgary · 11th February 2012, 17:52

i thought he did well. bet he's getting tired of balls bouncing off our defenders and ending up in the goal.

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 11th February 2012, 17:53

Another drool worthy save in a big game.

MadDogg · 11th February 2012, 17:59

He's poor at aerial balls being crossed into the box. It's a gaping hole in his game at the moment, and it's something that he obviously will work on over the next few years. A slow but steady improvement there is all we can hope for.

He's pretty bloody good at everything else already.

I'm actually with Randall on this. It's a save any 'keeper worth his salt should make- fairly central, nice height. That said, he dealt with it competently.

I think he's going to be a cracking keeper for us over the next few years. He's not especially tall, but his hands look huge and he's got long arms. He's already a fine shot-stopper, good reflexes and great with the ball at his feet. His timing and positioning for crosses needs some work, though.

Aye. The save was only a little more than routine.

SteveJ · 11th February 2012, 21:43

*mousey voice* Well it did swerve at the very last moment...

It's a nice save for a keeper to make. You look good on tele and you can brush it off like it ain't no thang without being cocky.
