Yes. The saves he made in this 16 games goes unnoticed and no credit. Agenda all the way. Dave is great.Blaming Dave for the goal is a bit of a joke.

Good bit of skill to get past Maguire but, come on, there is no way on earth he should have scored from virtually on the goal line. That was absolutely terriblr from de Gea.Again getting scapegoated for a mistake of Maguire.
He left a huge gap between himself and the post. Any keeper should save that shot from near enough on the goal line, it's a terrible mistake. Please, stop making excuses for him.Nothing to do with Lindelof. Maguire got exposed again as has been doing for the entire season. But it is not cool to criticise him cause we finally have a 'leader'.
It was from 5 yards in one on one. It could have been saved but it is not a mistake.
He isn't . There is not a lot that can be done in that situation. He was slow in reacting because Maguire got nutmegged in 6 yard box and it became one on one. From that close range if the striker has clear shot, then it's never a GK mistake. That's what he is pointing at. De Gea could have stopped it but it's not a mistake.He left a huge gap between himself and the post. Any keeper should save that shot from near enough on the goal line, it's a terrible mistake.

Of course there's a lot he can do in that situation, like not leave a huge gap at the near post for a shot from near the goal line.He isn't . There is not a lot that can be done in that situation.

For your reference, Henderson let a similar goal against Arsenal just last week. Only reason why it doesn't get blown out of proportion because he doesn't play for Manchester United.
Ole: No decision to make - de Gea all day long.Ole needs to take the tough decision. It's tough but has to be done.
Clearly. Maguire did feck up. He was megged - always an embarrassment, and in this case one that could have been avoided if he had been more aware.If you're defending 1 on 1 in the situation Maguire was in (full sight on the ball, attacking player stationary and facing you) and you get nutmegged, you fecked up.

Huge gap? Nobody is defending him. He could have saved it but letting your GK go one on one in 6 yard box with time to hit it, I would never blame GK if goal is scored.Of course there's a lot he can do in that situation, like not leave a huge gap at the near post for a shot from near the goal line.
It's a huge mistake whether you and he like it or not.
Why are so many trying to defend de Gea on this? It's a bad mistake, clear as day.
He was virtually on the goal line, he should never in a month of Sundays been able to score at the near post from there.Huge gap? Nobody is defending him. He could have saved it but letting your GK go one on one in 6 yard box with time to hit it, I would never blame GK if goal is scored.
Have we become a title contender yet? If no, what's the problem looking for an upgrade to the team to achieve higher? A 5:2 win against a side in relegation zone (who also lost 1:4 to Newcastle a few days ago) means there's no room for improvement?Imagine winning 5-2 and having a ferocious argument about who was more to blame for the first goal of the game.
Maybe the first thought should be the positive angle of the goals.Have we become a title contender yet? If no, what's the problem looking for an upgrade to the team to achieve higher?

Maybe the goal he conceded vs Norwich?Why is nobody mentioning Romero?
Personally he's finished the highest rated goalkeeper in my match day ratings for the past 3 seasons in a row.
I'd have no problem with Romero being our number one for a season and if it didn't work then bring in Henderson or another GK.
If Dave the wanker wants to go back to Madrid so much sell him to Atletico with a swap deal for Oblak who has said he has eyes on England previously. Easy work.
you clearly have no idea about goalkeeping. You don't try to cover both corners at the same time that is literally impossible.It was not mistake by DDG. He could have done better (he conceded goal so of course he could) but it is not mistake. He was caught one on one with attacker 5m from goal. He could have go on safe and stick his body on the post and open another corner to attacker. He tried to cover both corners.
He had nothing at all of the other post to aim at anyway this is a clear clear amateur move by ddg.you clearly have no idea about goalkeeping. You don't try to cover both corners at the same time that is literally impossible.
You always close off the front post at a tight angle. If the striker curls it into the opposite top corner you say well done. If you allow the striker to creep it in between the goalkeeper and the near post you say goalkeeper WTF are you doing.
A DDG mistake clear and simple.
I think he just hedged his bets thinking "no way will he get it near post" and probably thought it was going to be cut back to whoever was in the box (king I think( so cheated a little to get a head start. He should have just stuck to the post.He had nothing at all of the other post to aim at anyway this is a clear clear amateur move by ddg.
Also the biggest lie that people tell themselves on here is that if de gea conceded X goal by man utd player then he'd be crucified. Sorry but that's where you're wrong.
He actually went down thinking it was going to be a low shot. If that were Henderson he would have tried to kick it only to concede the goal through his legs. He made a gamble and lost, but still not enough for me to replace him with Henderson, who isn't ready.you clearly have no idea about goalkeeping.

I'm not saying Henderson is ready either, but people trying to say it wasn't a mistake is quite frankly stupid.He actually went down thinking it was going to be a low shot.

He was really good before the lockdown but has struggled since. To be fair, the same can be said for quite a few keepers.I’m watching more and more SHU games for Henderson but I feel there’s at least one mistake in him every game. Today almost gifted a chance to make it 2-0 but McNeil sent it wide. From two great GKs, we’re going to none. He’s at least young though.
I know. It just seemed like a matter of when he will be our number one. Some people wanted it to be next season as well. Frankly, I don’t see it right now as he has mistakes in him as well. We make him our number one and if those mistakes are replicated, it could cause massive damage to his confidence. There seems to be an extra focus on any mistakes that United players make. Unfortunately, being highlighted by our former players like Keane and Scholes. Whenever we get him into our team, it has to be a careful settling in period.He was really good before the lockdown but has struggled since. To be fair, the same can be said for quite a few keepers.
Its less to do with social media and more with the United specific punditry. That Keane remark on De Gea that he would be swinging punches etc is as juvenile and idiotic as it comes. Even after yesterday’s big win, Scholes still had to throw shade at Maguire as well. I’m yet to come across an incident where a United player’s mistake will be let go as a one-off. There have been no comments on our great defensive record off late. Surely there must have been one outstanding performer or leader there.People won't give him the time he will need to settle in. De Gea got pasted in his first season and that's back when social media was in its infancy.
Yes. Case in point, Sanchez.This is not necessarily directed at De Gea, but is there any other position in football where you can see a drastic drop in performance than the goal keeper position? The fall from world class to nobody can happen within the blink of an eye when it comes to keepers. I guess it is because the margin of error is so slim, and the level required is so high.
That was crazy, and pretty funny honestly. It's not necessarily an easy task to beat Giroud in the air, but now we now he is apparently a great header of the ball and fearless. Great trait to have when we're one behind in a CL-final and he goes up on the last corner to get us into extra time. I've been saying, he is the incarnation of Peter Schmeichel.I loved seeing him beat Giroud to a header during the last few minutes.
