If he kept it out it would have been seen as an outstanding save. He was left exposed by the defence so had no chance. Amazing that he had any time to react at all really.
Perfect example being Given vs us, first day of the season a few years back from Campbell's header. As a keeper myself I don't care if I save it with my noggin or my nob, I'm still doing my job keeping the ball out of the net...Keepers get hit on the head/face by the ball all the time. Occupational hazard. If you're lucky enough to deflect it away from the goal with your bonce you claim it as a wonder-save.
I never understand players that don't learn English (no pun intended) such as the likes of Tevez who has been here years. If someone pays you big money you should at least make the effort to be able to communicate with your teammates, especially in such a team oriented sport where communication is vital. No question that this had affected de Gea a bit but it seems like he is making the effort to learn and quickly. Really reflects positively on his personality.I just want to post Evans' opinion on de Gea.
Good to hear that English is not a problem for him.
Feck me. That's not difficult, is it now!!!I disagree with you. He is already better than what he was at the beginning of the season.
Then you are an idiot if you believe that.I still say at the present, he is going to cost us more games than he helps us win.
Then you are an idiot if you believe that.
To be honest, at the moment he still bordering shit. But pardon this idiot for having an opinion!!He is indeed an idiot, wasn't too long ago he described de Gea as "simply shit".
He does not inspire me with any confidence, and he makes me absolutely nervous, whenever the opposing team get within 30 yds of our goal. The opposing teams have scented this too, why do you think they jostle him at corners and shoot at every opportunity??Bordering shit? You have got to be kidding me!
Corners, he was always going to struggle coming in because the way football is played in the Premier League is different. The coaches said they are working on that with him and are confident he is getting better.He does not inspire me with any confidence, and he makes me absolutely nervous, whenever the opposing team get within 30 yds of our goal.

We'll just have to see if I'm wrong. Hopefully I am, time will tell.Shooting at him whenever they can hasn't exactly proven to be a good tactic, given how excellent he has shown to be at saving attempts like that recently. He's clearly still weak on crosses but I can't see how that leaves him as "bordering shit".
Well, you're obviously wrong about the shooting from distance bit, so...We'll just have to see if I'm wrong. Hopefully I am, time will tell.
Why, because he's made 3 good saves, 2 of which any keeper worth his salt should be stopping in his sleep.Well, you're obviously wrong about the shooting from distance bit, so...
No, dummy.Why, because he's made 3 good saves, 2 of which any keeper worth his salt should be stopping in his sleep.

No, dummy.
That he hasn't conceded many from outside the box. Ergo, he isn't weak there.
Or in other words, a sample taken from one (season) is poor statistics (and never, ever listen to what Redknapp tells you without putting on your critical specs. Even though he's on Sky and whatnot.)
It's nothing to do with that, he's only conceded one from range which was the Dzeko shot therefore you are wrong.
Yeah now you are just looking for excuses to make him look bad at every turn.Admittedly he has only conceded the one, but he spills too many of the others, which in itself could lead to a secondary chance. We will just have to agree to disagree I'm afraid, or we will be going around in circles for days.
No need to look, they present them selves perfectly well.Yeah now you are just looking for excuses to make him look bad at every turn.
Depends how the keeper reacts to mistakes, a few mistakes completely destroyed Ben Foster at the top level. Luckily De Gea looks like nothing phases him, I mean I don't remember the last time a keeper got the same treatment he's recieved from the press over a long period.VDS gifted the opposition a goal in a Champions League final when he was 25, I think we can survive De Gea making a few mistakes in the PL when he's 21.
Howard or Carroll probably. Its not that uncommon.Depends how the keeper reacts to mistakes, a few mistakes completely destroyed Ben Foster at the top level.

I think there's some major differences there. Even if Foster was receiving a lot of hype and was expected to be better than he was, he was never hyped to the extent where some were thinking of him as a potential world class keeper, and one of the best in the world. Whether he warrants it or not, De Gea has been hyped up to that level.Depends how the keeper reacts to mistakes, a few mistakes completely destroyed Ben Foster at the top level.

By that arguement, are you saying Phil Jones is the finished article? Comparative price tag? I do know what you are saying but 18 mil is a snip when you conscider how good this kid can become if he is nurtured the right way and United are the club to do that(although we have a bad record with keepers)De Gea looks a good prospect and has improved of late.
My issue is the fact we were not looking for a good prospect we needed the finished article and at the money we spent that is what we should have got.
You've got to remember that Jones and De Gea play in completely different positions though. The defence already has experienced players in it like Vidic and Ferdinand. Jones can learn from them, and the defence does not have to completely depend on him.By that arguement, are you saying Phil Jones is the finished article? Comparative price tag?
