We lost because of DeGea. Simple. We have won matches in the past with him but he has become a liability now. The defence is shaky because of him. I remember seeing the Brighton Liverpool match and how their keeper came out and collected a cross under extreme pressure around the penalty spot and was wondering when would we ever see our keeper doing that?
Really? Our defence is shaky because they all have flaws and they do not play well together.
Maguire - good defender. Has a mistake in him. Slow as hell, needs to be partnered with someone better than him.
Lindelof - Positionally poor. Poor in the air, never commits to tackles, is out fought and out worked every single game
AWB - Lives out of position and relies on his tackling to make up for it. Will always be caught out and lead to poor positioning along the back line due to this. Cannot head the ball. Awkward in possession. Always plays the safe short pass.
Shaw - In the form of his life and our most reliable player right now. Pace is his biggest issue, but he's the only defensive player we have worthy of positive comments lately.
DDG has just stagnated and cannot match his usual elite performance. It's mentally tough being a keeper and playing out of your skin for 6,7 + seasons. We shouldnt forget what he has done for us, but we cannot escape the fact that he is now a shadow of his former self. He just is not consistent enough.
Football is ruthless. Sometimes you need to move on. Henderson is waiting and needs a run in the team.
For the record, De Gea is far from the worse thing going on in this team right now. He had a poor game but there are bigger problems in the team.
We were - yet again out worked in midfield against Everton. I fail to see what McTominey brings to the team. He's such an average player it's unreal. Fred, while usually good was poor. Pogba was pretty mundane before his injury too. We do not control the game or get enough forward passes out of our deeper midfielders - always slow, always sideways, always predictable. Bar Fred, we're almost always out worked in there too. Tom Davies and Gomes just ruined us with they're pressing and exploiting the space we left them. Midfield is more of an issue for me - it needs a revamp
