Yeah I agree. We may prove the most entertaining side to watch for the neutral observer.
That will almost definitely improve things. At least in that case, anyone competent will immediately come in and make an improvement. I have been surprised at how bad he has been. It could boost the whole backline having actual confidence in a goalkeeper.
So Kepa isn’t good with the ball at his feet, not a good sweeper, not good at commanding his box and not a good shot stopper. Doesn’t sound very good!
I hope that the message is "your place isn't guaranteed just because you're from the academy, you still need to work extremely hard and perform at the absolute best at all times, because you can and will be replaced. This is a business, and you are an asset."
Yes. That's just the message to nurture young talent!
He's got literally the lowest save percentage ever measured in the PL. And Chelsea have a lower xGA than Liverpool. He is genuinely atrocious.
I agree! I cannot see what he brings to justify the price tag, being Spain’s number one or Chelsea’s. He’s bang average, at the very best.
DDG must be every shade of shite in the present day to lose his place to a keeper in the midst of an all time collapse.
You're happy with and rate Kepa then?
Not really but luckily there's tangible rumours we're trying to change things (the noise surrounding the Kepa, Cillisen, Onana triangle isn't going away), there doesn't seem to be any smoke regarding you lot upgrading on his NT understudy which must be concerning.
So your childish response was just due to you not being able to handle criticism labelled against a Chelsea player then?
Nice try trying to turn this round on me, especially given you completely put false words into my mouth in the first place.
Again a childish response, you should be able to discuss a player on their merit without having to draw another in for comparison
The irony of that is too much given what you did to Kepa's thread..
And we come full circle, you are the epitome of a 'yeah I know I am but what are you' retort
You came on this thread with the intention to WUM us and is now having a a paddy because you got put in your place.
Oh yes I don't know how I'm going to sleep now, in fact the embarrassment is going to haunt me for the rest of my lifeI thought you were off to bed/stopping talking to me or is that the second thing you've made a complete pigs ear off in less than half an hour?
No he’s absolutely right. This is the Chelsea thread, where a few posters were discussing Chelsea’s keeper, and you felt the need to bring DDG into the discussion? Clearly you have issues with people criticising Chelsea players, maybe a football forum, never mind a ManUtd forum isn’t right for you? Feel free to discuss DDG in the thread dedicated to his perfomances, where a lot of United fans are criticising him already, I might add. DDG being shit for a couple of seasons doesn’t change the fact that Kepa is absolutely atrocious. The most expensive keeper in the world, which is interesting, even if it hurts your feelings.
That's funny cause i remember a lot of times any response to me being critical of Lukaku was "but Morata lol".
Not especially since Dean Henderson is pretty good and under contract as a United player. I think we'll be fine at GK despite DDGs decline.
So because there are other shit posters you want to be one yourself, is that it?
I have no idea about any stigma, by the way, I was just interested in the discussion about Chelsea so noticed this little encounter.Where exactly have you got that from? I was using it as an example (as in I bet if I said it all of a sudden United fans would find their "sensitive" side), not that it's what I really think.
Yes, I got it, but if you did, it would be fine, in the right thread.. I’m just saying in this isolated exchange, which was impossible not to notice, you came across as the one wumming, not charlenefan.
DDG lost his place whilst being aeguably the best goalie in the world, and I believe many found that strange. Currently, I still rate Ddg quite a bit higher. Stranger things have happened than the best player not being a starter for their NT
There is nothing strange about a player United fans rating as the best in the world not being rated by his own country. It is a fact that the “worst goalkeeper in the history of the PL” is first choice in the Spanish national team where “the best in the world” according to United fans is from. Its not like he's been frozen out like Benzema.
I agree Chelsea if they get Harvetz will look tasty in the forward areas. However, whilst they seem to have sorted out the forward areas, I would say they also need a minimum of a CB as well, and would even say a CB is more important than a LB, as whilst Alonso is super slow he does kind of make up for it with goals and assists. However, the four CB's they put out always seems to have a fault in them and look like they can be got at while Kepa is also one of the worst GK's I have ever seen. Apart from a excellent save here and there he is poor. I honestly believe he could be replaced with Foster and you would see an immediate improvement.
I agree, i would like us to go for Pope or Onana, we don't even need a world class goalkeeper at this stage, just someone who will make the routine stops. I really think our defense isn't as bad as many think, but yes we certainly could use more of a presence on set pieces. That's where we seem to be weakest, set pieces and poor keeping. It seems like we concede from every free kick or corner
Yeah with regards to Kepa I think you'll stick with him and see if he can turn it around. He was bought for a world record fee (£75m) and signed to a 7 year contract. There's a big commitment by the club to see this one out a bit longer and there's always the chance he might come good. I certainly think you'd see an improvement if you upgrade the back 4 and build up some stability. Bar James and Rudiger I'd say you could look at replacing the lot really in the next season or two.
It's a funny story but the way he tells it you would have thought he put it on a plate for Diego instead of a terrible hoof to the opposition centre back who Costa tackles.

Yeah, I went back to look at the goal. It was hopeful hoof towards the corner flag that Costa had no hope of getting to. He's technically right, it was an assist, but Costa made that goal all by himself.
Keeper before cb
