Stuck with this pretender til 2023
Never thought he was part of our midfield or forwards. I always thought a keeper was part of the defence team. He has been crap for a long time now. He makes world class saves but at the same time concede goals that any decent keeper would save. The defence is so much under pressure because of him. We need a keeper who can come out and claim high balls with confidence. Come out certainly outside the 6 yard box. Hendo is certainly not the guy. I would rather it was Romeo rather than Hendo.No posts at all in here for nearly 2 months. Now I see all the De Gea out parade are back in full force.
He isn’t the problem, the fecking defence is.
Drop him for a game or two to show him that he actually needs to perform to keep his starting role? There's a big difference between holding players accountable and throwing them under the bus.Dont be daft. What do you expect Ole to do? Throw him under the bus like a Jose? You were fine with Jose for pointing players for their mistakes in public?
With that lengthy contract, it’s going to be impossible to do that. We are stuck with him for a couple more years unless Dean Henderson can really step up.It’s high time we replaced him.
When has he actually been superb this season? There's been a couple of good saves with his feet, and I remember he made one diving save that I thought most keepers wouldn't get to. Otherwise his saves have all been what you'd expect any decent keeper to make. And that decent keeper would hopefully be far more commanding of his box, stronger in the air, not cowardly hide from contact, and have better distribution (which isn't terrible but could definitely be better).He's one of our greatest keepers without doubt but while he's often been superb this season, looking at the past year or two, it's a lot of mistakes.
My solution is to nudge him out this summer. But how do we shift the fecker who costs us 10 points a season and £250k/week?Drop him for a game or two to show him that he actually needs to perform to keep his starting role? There's a big difference between holding players accountable and throwing them under the bus.
The club is more important than any player, who gives a shit about his ego when he's fecked up for 3 seasons running now?
Problem is that in these covid times I can't see us buying a goalie and a dominant CB the same window. Plus who will buy DDG?This isn't similar to Mourinho's treatment of the likes of Shaw, Martial and Pogba who were unfairly targeted. Continuing how we are would be more like how Matic and Lukaku played every single match no matter how bad they were, and Mourinho refused to give anyone else a real chance.
The thing is we dont need to buy one.I just don’t see our board/Ole going out and buying a new keeper with DDG and Henderson on hand. We should invest in an elite CB this summer before anything else.
We should be giving Henderson a chance. He might take that chance and cement himself as our future #1 for quite some time, he might fail. Either way we'll have the answer and we can then plan properly for the future.Problem is that in these covid times I can't see us buying a goalie and a dominant CB the same window. Plus who will but DDG?
We are stuck with him I am afraid.
I don't think he is "shiftable" .. Not too many clubs can take on that kind of hit on their wage bill.My solution is to nudge him out this summer. But how do we shift the fecker who costs us 10 points a season and £250k/week?
That's my frustration.
You drop him and it destroys his confidence and then you can't shift him in the summer.
That’s stupid. However, it’s time to move on from DDGRomero was always the better goalkeeper for United.
Unfortunately De Gea has the bigger contract.
This might be the dumbest i've read on here. Nothing suggest Henderson or Romero is better than De Gea. Only imaginationThe thing is we dont need to buy one.
Romero or Henderson are better goalkeepers than De Gea.
The lack of reflex ability is there - yet they control their box, dont look scared during corners and the defenders say they prefer playing with them.
Not henderson but Romero's performances in the europa league was always better than De Geas.This might be the dumbest i've read on here. Nothing suggest Henderson or Romero is better than De Gea. Only imagination
Romero has one foot out the door and Henderson has done nothing to suggest he’s an upgrade on DDG. It’s too bad DDG’s prime years occurred when the rest of the squad was shit.The thing is we dont need to buy one.

He's a bit of a coward.We need a new goalie. One who can hopefully play out from the back. De Gea's consistent mistakes have carried on too long now. Poor parry in the first goal and really hesitant on the third goal.
I mean, the least you expect from your keeper is a complete commitment to the cause especially in the 95th minute when you're a goal ahead. There's no excuse for being lackadaisical in that situation.
The last time Sir Alex dropped him for Lindergaard did him wonders when he realised he wasn't going to show up and just get the starting role.My solution is to nudge him out this summer. But how do we shift the fecker who costs us 10 points a season and £250k/week?

He wasn't so passive before. I don't know how a completely committed footballer can not go into a 50-50 full blooded in the 95th minute when protecting a lead. Inexcusable imo. The rest of the team were putting everything on the line and he stands there like a complete wimp.He's a bit of a coward.
He hasn’t been anywhere near superb this season. He’s simply avoided being a disaster zone... until yesterday. The guy is so far off the level a title challenging team needs. He’s weak as piss.He's one of our greatest keepers without doubt but while he's often been superb this season, looking at the past year or two, it's a lot of mistakes.
This could quite easily be, word for word, related to Vs everton. It saddens me that it means that just like then nothing will be done and the cycle will continue.Maguire should never have let that ball roll behind but there was a deflection beforehand that pushed it a bit. However, the keeper had an advantage on that ball. He should have put the fear of god in Kluivert. She should have absolutely bollocked that ball and the player with it, à la Schmeichel. Instead, he turned his back and put his arms up like a fragile little bitch.
Sadly it seems that Ole only makes certain players accountable. Others continue to make the same mistakes with total impunity. I am sick to death with De Gea at this stage. He steals £350k a week and serves up nothing short of cowardice. If we were lucky, he would spend a long time unavailable for selection.This could quite easily be, word for word, related to Vs everton.
