Free kick wasn't even in the corner and he got a good hand to it. Should be keeping it out.
Definitely. Instantly reminded me of the mata freekick he saved vs Chelsea. Unfortunately with age his reflexes have deteriorated.2 years ago he saves that, or is that too simplistic and reactionary?
Even if he saved that it wouldnt have been ''easy''. Maybe he would have stopped it some years ago when he was superhuman but i think it is a bit much to blame him for todays goals.Should have used his top hand, would have easily parried it away.
We didn't have many tall players on the pitch tbh. Who was the shortest player?Another flaw in the goal was the set up of the wall. Why the feck was our shortest player on the near post side of the wall? Completely improper way to set up a wall. We could at least try to not contribute to the goal.
Just look at the wall, the tallest player was positioned on the middle of the goal (when looking at the goal). I can’t tell who exactly is in the wall as the video is a bit blurry, but it is pretty drastic, the change in height.We didn't have many tall players on the pitch tbh. Who was the shortest player?
for once i agree with NevilleNeville called him papadum hands.
Who are the top 10?In the last year, I'm not sure if he's even in the top 10 keepers in the league.
I'm not oingg to start listing them but basically de Gea hasn't really done too much special recently. Well, anything special has been offset by big blunders so along with his lack of command and average distribution, he's not offering much more than your average keeper.Who are the top 10?
Didnt think you would.I'm not oingg to start listing them but basically de Gea hasn't really done too much special recently. Well, anything special has been offset by big blunders so along with his lack of command and average distribution, he's not offering much more than your average keeper.
Totally agree with Keane. Take away the amazing shot stopping and you’re left with a below average keeper. It was refreshing to see Romero on Thursday come out of his box and deal with a loose ball.Keane has never been convinced with De Gea and doesn't believe he's commanding enough.

Never been convinced yet in 2015 said he's the world's best keeper so...Keane has never been convinced with De Gea and doesn't believe he's commanding enough.

James Ward Prowse.Didn't Defour score a freekick too, not so long ago? Probably someone else too.
Selective memory i suppose. One year ago he was considered (and rightly so) one of the main reasons we finished 2nd, Mourinho hailed him as the best keeper in the world and expected him to sign a new contract imminently, thanking him and his agent for not making a fuss about his contract situation. Something he repeated in november 2018 as well.Tweet

Eh ?Last 18 months he's not been his usual self, and I'm hoping that he will reinvigorate his form now that the contract situation has been resolved. Imo he should have done better with defending that free-kick. Props to Creswell though, it was an amazing free-kick and he offset DDG a bit with the previous free-kick which he sent into DDG's side, which imo ultimately effected DDG's line of thinking and his reaction to the goal free-kick.
18 months - year and a half.Eh ?
Well thank you, i never fully understood how many months there are in one year, though i must admit that i was more curious about your claim about De Gea "not having been his usual self" for the past 18 months (or 1,5 year, for that matter), considering that it involves the last half of the season where we finished with a GA that was almost 16 goals less than our xGA, with De Gea generally being the main reason for us not leaking goal after goal.18 months - year and a half.
Think his dip in performance started in 2019.18 months - year and a half.
Pretty much.Think his dip in performance started in 2019.
what an utterly stupid postDe Gea defenders will be all out when he makes 5 stop shots next week, don't worry.
