Come on!!!
Well said“Betrayed”? What a muppet!
Problem with the backup is that he can't save anything to his left.
OK I am a bit pissed
I agree, but unfortunately we need to sell and if we drop him it slaps 15-30 million off any future price tag. The buying club would have the upper hand.
I really do think he's being sold in which case we have to protect the value.
The past 5 years this man has been worth 125 million for me. But now with the contract running down, and his absolute basket full of errors he's worth circa 60 million now. Take him out of the team and <50 is probably where we're at; especially if he wants to go and forces our hand.
It's not only about rebuilding his confidence, he should be dropped because Romero is a superb alternative who could save points. If player doesn't perform for a few matches he should be dropped and then show he deserves to play.De Gea's confident is clearly shot. Not sure dropping him will fix that. After 5 years of being a one man defence, it is inevitable he would see a period of poor form.
Alexis and Lukaku would be nice to see in second half. I have a feeling that this is THAT game for Alexis
I'm glad you're not in charge then.We used to moan about playing hoof ball with Fellaini upfront, id have Fellaini now for Lukaku right now.
But, however you want to look at it, all those decisions were made with our club in the forefront of his mind. That's my manager!People seem to forget the best manager the league has ever seen had no problem dropping our star players for far less than throwing the ball in the net.
Go out for a family dinner at christmas?
You are fecking dropped, Park and Rafeal in midfield next game.
Doesnt like your missus?
Sold.
Doesnt like your book?
Sold.
Doesnt like you questioning the clubs less than ambitious transfer policy?
Dropped.
Lukaku is our best player today. I don't get those posts ?
You're saying that a very effective defensive performance (bar de Gea's clanger) is bad because we can't use it in every game? And it's a bad tactic because our goalkeeper ended up giving them a goal because we restricted them to 30 yard pot-shots?Perhaps so, but you cannot say that we will contain an opposition like that every game by sitting back. Higuain is slow so there is no worries in inviting balls over the top from our high press. So the best expectation for me is to continue how we started. Besides...the error came as a result of the change in approach, which in itself lays blame on the sitting back, not the GK (in hindsight)
It's like when we played Rooney beyond his sell by date. Being an ex-world class player does nothing good when at the moment he makes the team lose and lose and lose again. Especially when you have the best backup in the league.
He would drop plenty for perceived disciplinary issues, yes. What's that got to do with whether he would drop De Gea over this particular form issue?People seem to forget the best manager the league has ever seen had no problem dropping our star players for far less than throwing the ball in the net.

We have 1 more genius fluke goal left I'd say.United don't have more goals in them.
He cost us points which will make us miss out on top 4 which will make him leave regardless. Either way he is gone
Agree mate. We have to acknowledge though that him not holding onto balls is very much a trait.De Gea going through a spell. We need to be there for him like he as been for us.
Only Wolves. Other two were not mistakes. Just not good reactions for his standards. Many gk would not save those twoWolves - fecked up for the second.
City - fecked up for the first.
Everton - fecked up for the second.

FinallySpotlight on the gk coach
For everyone saying we'd be okay to sell ddg and stick romero in nets.
This would probably be a regularity under romero as he is quite error prone and it's only shown throughout the course of a few matches.
Again hyperboleHe has made more big mistakes than I have fingers. He’s been a disaster zone this season.
In PL he fecked only against Arsenal. Maybe against City but that was more not good teaction than mistake
