Not at the expense of costing United a chance of a trophy or a place in the CL. He was the best keeper in the world at one stage, and there is no United fan you will find who wouldn't hope that he can turn it around. The point is, do we trust him to turn it around in the 2 crucial games this week?
Yes, if he makes a mistake by passing out and it gets caught our then that's all in the building process, which he has done alot of times btw.
Errors happen the fact De Gea has made one yesterday doesn’t erase every other time he’s been world class for us.
Yes of course you trust him for exactly the point that he can be world class and more often than not in his history at the club he has been. De Gea is more likely to make a game winning save than another stupid mistake.
He will save us more than he costs us and has done so this season despite the doom and gloom of posters like yourself.
There's no way you can call Ole sentimental after how he's dropped some players. That's nonsense
Dropping Lingard is easy. Dropping De Gea he won't do. Ole hasn't dropped or fecked off any big name associated with United. Alexis was an easy choice as was Lukaku. The majority of the fanbase hated them and they aren't legends, nevermind United ones. Good luck trying that with Dave. It is pretty easy now, but he still won't do it. If it backfires in the next games, he should be sacked.
I have never said Romero should start. I have backed DDG to regain his form. Neither have I said Ole shouldn't back him. I am saying what is the truth.
Whether you agree DDG should be dropped for these 2 games or not, I wish people would stop saying criticism of DDG is a knee jerk reaction. I hardly ever criticize our players on here but DDG has cost us far too many games over the last 18 months to label any criticism directed towards him as knee jerk.
It’s not crap there are far more occasions this season where De Gea has done the right thing than the wrong. I can think of more than 5 but me listing them and the saves he made won’t change your narrative as you’ll just say “he’s a GK he’s meant to make saves”. He makes saves every game even in the Chelsea game he stopped goals from happening too. He made one serious mistake in that match and has made very few in the context of a season.
Tbh I don't see the difference between dropping Lingard and DDG. You're saying that if Ole drop DDG because of bad form and play his backup and if we lose he'll get sacked? Or the whole team would mutiny and drop games? Or else?
Again, have I said he needs to be dropped for the next 2 games? What purpose would that be for?
The rare voice of reason in the all too familiar stampede to slate. He had a poor game, people need to get over it. According to the knee-jerkers on here no one in our defense is ‘good enough’. Yet somehow we’re tied for second in GAs and competing for a CL slot. Thankfully Ole is manager and not the knee-jerkers on here.
I think he would but only if he has better options. DDG has been bad, but Romero would be any better? That I don't know. I just don't buy the talk of Ole fancy anyone than the club. Or afraid of any "dressing room power" if we have any. By his interviews he has made it pretty clear that none is bigger than the club and he'll quietly and eventually phase out who don't perform.
He made two that led to goals, and he's been making gaffes far too regularly for the past two years. I've lost trust in him. Sure, he can still pull a world class save out of the bag, like he did against Palace, but what good does that do when he spills routine saves into the goal or into the path of an opposition player? Henderson is better than him currently. De Gea needs a kick up the arse at the very least. At worst he's finished at the very top level.
This post would make sense had this been an isolated incident. Unfortunately though, he's been all too regular for at least 2 seasons now, but i'd probably say he's been well below his best for 3 years. He certainly hasn't been "the best gk in the world" for 4 years at least.
Have you ever been around top performers?
I can't do anything but agree with this, sadly.
This is exactly why I was not surprised with DDG playing. The issue with him is he is on such a high wage, dropping him for Romero will solve nothing.
Japanese, ffs don't get smart with me.
He's sitting pretty alright. Earning nicely and no real challenge to that #1 and Henderson needs to be recalled because Romero is a decent keeper but he isn't going to take the #1 off him and he knows it.
LVG sold half the squad, and Mourinho phased out the likes of Rooney and Schweinsteiger without batting an eye. Both managers still had preferred players who would play no matter what.
Get over yourself. Your whole premise was about as stupid as it gets and was rightly called out. You've realised that and moved on from it thankfully.
May name a few please?
You're mistaken, I'm not moving on from it at all. It's a valid point.
The relevancy is the same as above, best in class at one point.
So you agree then that Romero doesn't exactly fill you with confidence?
Aside from Sampdoria, I don't believe he's ever been a consistent #1 for any club and there's likely good reason for that.
Yeah Lukaku we all know why, Jose bought him and he's his boy. But tbh strangely I can't even remember how Rooney fared for us by that time. Only thing came to my mind when think about that time is it's boring af and I was usually half sleepy watching us. Any help here please?
Sorry mate I was right there with you in dreamland. A few times I'd open my eyes, see Rooney lumbering about in midfield, and then promptly go back to sleep.
He was being played as a striker and was downright appalling. Found the net something like 8 times in 30 appearances.
