Someone needs to bump that thread.
DDG won't save a single pen
- Thread starter ivaldo

Yeah this is my view, too. He just doesn't project any confidence or presence. Instead of making himself look big he just kind of gets swallowed up by the goal and then attempts half-hearted dives to his right. Their pens were all great tbf. It's just that he never looked close to one.
That my friends was his feck you to all as he knows he's leaving, my dead fish could of saved at least 2 of those pens.
Its quite sad how the only way we were going to win that shootout was by them missing the goal entirely.
De Gea didn't even look like he believed he could save one.
Truly tragic and predictable display from him.

Wish that fax machine worked.
We're all armchair managers apparently. The coaching staff just "knows".
Absolutely stupid.

I was shouted at during the pens by the lads I was watching the game with (all fellow United fans) because I knew that there was zero chance of De Gea saving a pen for us. Granted there were some pretty unstoppable kicks and I'm probably being overly critical due to the emotions involved, but it all just felt very predictable.
Would've saved 3. Never seen a worse goalkeeper when it comes to penalties. Looks like the kid you pick last at school to go in goal. Seems to flop to the wrong side every time, usually giving himself away too early.
Poetic that he missed the only one as well. Ah well....
I get ridiculed for talking about technique but he has just has the absolute worst technique for a keeper at saving penalties. He either goes down too early or too late and goes with a weak hand. He wasnt saving one all night
I"m sorry but this make me laugh.
Thread was made before any penalties were taken
Didn’t even look like he was trying to save them. Pathetic.
He would have got one straight into his arms if he did that and we would have won.
Zero effort in saving a penalty and Zero effort on taking the penalty.
He's a fecking embarrassment
Why?
How horrible to have to put the blame on anyone but the weak link is undeniable. To score 10 penalties and not win is beyond cruel for everyone who scored.

hard truth 
We actually had posters defended his atrocious PK saves record before.

Feel bad for him, but honestly Ole should've pulled a van gaal here. De gea's record with penalties is awful. A youth keeper would have a better shot.
What a prophet, sadly this was one of those times I wish it would go wrong.
Even before the penalty shootout he had faced 25 penalties since he last saved one.
Unfortunately very accurate.Everyone except Ole seemed to know that Henderson was the sub to bring on before anyone else if it came to penalties.
Seen someone said his career record is 11 from 60? So he was at one stage 11 from 24?
That's a crazier stat
Not to score a penalty is not the problem David.....BUT TO GO WORSE WITH EVERY PENALTY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS IS A SACKABLE OFFENCE 
He had his hand on 2 pens. There were plenty in the middleish. 5 or 6 were great, but some of the rest he could have saved.
His decline is full in everything.

He saves only 4 in his whole career
Some of you lots are a bit pathetic in trying to pin the blame on a keeper because he didn't save penalties as if those aren't mostly made due to luck.
Get a grip for feck sakes. We should have sought to win this game in regular playing time, not penalties. Us deciding to sit back and drop off in extra time instead of desperately trying to win and avoid penalties at all cost given we were supposed to be the better team with the better squad is what to blame, not the goalkeeper for failing to save penalties, something which is more akin to luck than any skills.

In fairness he did save one.at home to Palace this season..but VAR let them off.
Some keepers are just poor at pens. Cech was another
Lets in every single pen and then misses his own in a game where they only had one shot on target and scored from it. Actually not possible for him to have had a worse game.
feck me that’s brutal, I was whatsapping my brother and we both said, well we’ll score all 5 but DDG obviously won’t save any so after that we’re fecked.
Their goalkeeper only saved one. And had a lot more saveable ones too.
Conceding 11 without a save in a shootout and then missing the decisive pen be the ultimate nightmare scenario for a goalie in a shootout.
I feel genuinely bad for him, that's utterly horrific luck.

I could save pens if I fecking cheated too.
Wet paper bag
Just the weirdest of techniques magnified tonight. Kind of collapses in a heap, looks tiny, has little to no spring, moves either too early or late, lacks scope, lacks decisiveness. Apart from that, he’s great and Ole did well to have him in nets for he shoot out.... as for the one he took, have you ever seen a GK not just blast it hard and straight. I despair.
So do you say to our players, 10 shots and not one of you missed feck off??
