If he can play like this, and he takes a lower salary we might not need another GK.

People doubting him, he's probably out best ever keeper, Schmeichel was great and my favourite player as a kid but feel free to watch his howlers and mistakes. He was a phenomenon. But people talk about De Gea like he we have been playing with Brad Guzan for a decade :houllier:

He's an insanely good keeper and we are lucky to have him. Only when we stop playing him or sell him will people realise how valuable he is to us.

Hope he takes a lower salary. Unless some great opportunity for a goalkeeper comes up, wouldnt mind him staying and would be nice to see him playing with a proper defence and DM in front of him

Thought he booted balls in the Second half into nobody at times but overall a good game.

Shock horror, he looks absolutely fine in a settled team that’s properly organised. He could be better with his feet - not that he had much to aim at with his longer clearances today, but I’d be more than happy if he reduces his salary and stays for a few more years.

I looked at the list of appearances for the club to see where he sat currently, I was actually shocked to see how low he was considering he’s goalkeeper. As a side note, utterly insane what Giggs did.

Not one comment? Criminally underappreciated here. Massive performance from DDG.
That's cause he's doing well. One mistake and this place lights up like a Christmas tree (which I get, to a certain extent, because he is the highest paid GK).

Maybe the appreciation will return once he's on a lower salary?

Did fine. Passing could have been better. Crucially though, it's a good sign when he has less to do. A De Gea we don't notice as much is the best De Gea.

Since the Brentford horror show he's been quite good. Still has his flaws of course but at least the great shot stopping has returned.

Another very good performance by Dave. If he keeps this up and accepts s lower salary we are not in a rush to replace him.

He's like 5 behind in the all time club clean sheet record now

What a shame De Gea is no “modern keeper”. All he can do is prevent goals from being scored that most other keepers can’t.

This is my only gripe against him this season to be fair, we were under pressure and we could of kept the ball better, which starts with him not booting the ball up field when he has a short pass on.

Very calm and solid this season. No need to replqce him, as most likely we dont get a better keeper

Suddenly he's joint second for clean sheets with Ramsdale...

You can't knock his obvious improvement. He's braver and seems to command things more.

If he could back it up with some ball playing ability he'd be the best in the world.

Puts all these pretenders to shame.

Some of these names suggested as replacements, it's almost comical.

Are we done calling for him to be replaced by vastly inferior goalkeepers?

Wonderful clean sheet. Several difficult saves, one sweeping action, and his long passing was rather accurate tonight
