Can Anderson score? No.
Imagine actually thinking Kepa is better than DDG
They both shit its nothing to laugh about.Imagine actually thinking Kepa is better than DDG
To be honest, if they really want to win the big trophies, they will need to change all five defensive positions - GK, LB/RB (although Azpi may still have one or two years in him), and both CBs. However, it is not doable in one transfer window.Keeper before cb
One of the worst announcement videos I've ever seen, it's been stuck in my head for years. The acting from the dad, the kid that clearly doesn't want to be there, the fact that the girl at the store and Rudiger are clearly filmed in two different places is all *chef's kiss*. I adore it.Throw back to our epic Rudiger reveal video 3 years ago.Tweet

I think that will be the case. They don’t have the deep playmakers like pogba who can pass forward. Kovacic and Jorginho love a good side pass. Kante is a box to box.I have to say chelsea if they buy harvetz would have a strong attacking line up. Add pulisic to that and they will score plenty of goals. However I wouldn't be surprised if the trio of werner-Kai-Ziyech take some time to adjust. Challenge for Lampard is to find the right balance.
Honestly as a rival fan I would be more worried if they go and add a top class defender to their side.
He was never the best in the world, shot stopper probably, all round keeper not a chance.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
*Insert Jack Wilshere meme with ok mate*He was never the best in the world, shot stopper probably, all round keeper not a chance.
So you reckon he was a better all round keeper than Neuer? I can't wait to hear this!*Insert Jack Wilshere meme with ok mate*
How the absolute feck did someone relate your username to Sane and Rashford? That's up there with Ty on AFTV turning a question on Arsenal into a rant about Phil BrownThere 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.
Its okey to critisize opposition players, we all do it. But when the person is doing so with a clear intent to wum, they deserve to be called out on it. I'm sure if I decided to go up in the Daniel James performance thread and disguised a wind up as a critique I'll get called up on it, get a lot laughing emojis, get a lot of ‘what about your player X,Y,Z’, and probably get banned.
Jumping to Charlenefan's defence and pretending “sensitivity to criticism ” is only synonymous to Chelsea or opposition fans is very much disingenuous.
For example, one United fan quoted me saying it was ironic that someone with Mount and Goat in the same sentence as my username would dare to say Sane is better than Rashford.
On the issue of Kepa’s performances yes he's been poor but personally I'd look to improving our defence before looking at the goalkeeper. Most of the goals we've conceded are simple routine set pieces and our defenders shitting the bed at any sight of a counter attack.
Well,not that we are expecting anything different from a Chelsea fan anyways. So why bother.So you reckon he was a better all round keeper than Neuer? I can't wait to hear this!
He’s saying he was ridiculed in a nosensical way for having the opinion Sané is better than Rashford. Anyway, agree with you on DDG, never been the best keeper in the world. There’s more to it than shot stopping.How the absolute feck did someone relate your username to Sane and Rashford?

Well i said the exact same about Cudicini when he was being regarded as the best keeper in the league (although that said he probably was at that point by default given Barthez then Howard, Dudek/Kirkland and a close to 40 yo Seaman followed by Lehman where the keepers at the other top teams). I kept stressing that there's a lot more to it than shot stopping and Cech will instantly take his place if we're to win the title, was called everyname under the sun for it but i stood by that and was proven right.Well,not that we are expecting anything different from a Chelsea fan anyways.

I can sense by the way you're expressing yourself that you are one of those people that have an opinion, will never change that opinion, and who also can't fathom that other people disagree with your immense wisdom, but hell. I'll bite.So you reckon he was a better all round keeper than Neuer? I can't wait to hear this!

Okay i'd admit i was a bit overzealous with my wording but i've always assessed a keeper on his all round game, if we base it purely on shot stopping i'd probably put DDG up there with Casillas and (left field choice) Canizares as the best i've ever seen, but command of area and (in the modern day) how good you are with you're feet are just as important factors, especially at clubs looking to win titles.I can sense by the way you're expressing yourself that you are one of those people that have an opinion, will never change that opinion, and who also can't fathom that other people disagree with your immense wisdom, but hell.

Erm if you are talking in decades, no - DDG does not own a decade of being the best. But no one is saying that either. Did DDG have seasons from 2014-2018 where you could subjectively (all this is subjective - whether you think so or not) argue he was the best in the world in that particular season? Absolutely. The man featured in FIFAs best XI in 2018 - you might disagree with that selection, but that puts him up with some of the best at least - and by your wording you would think it's Heurelho Gomes people are bigging up. You, being a Chelsea fan, probably think Courtois that year was best - and Courtois did also win the best individual GK-award that year - which makes zero sense how the same goalkeeper didn't obtain both prizes but whatever - and that's totally fine. But you're wording it like saying DDG at one point was the best GK in the world is the strangest thing you've ever heard. I respectfully disagree, seeing his performances eg. in the 17-18 season, letting past a mere 28 league goals - and getting 18 clean sheets - with our defense. That year Neuer played 360 minutes - he shouldn't be even mentioned among the best that season on that basis.
Your way of arguing makes it out to be an absolute outlandish proposition and it objectively isn't - exactly like it isn't if you were arguing the same about Courtois, Oblak, Ter Stegen etc. - they're are all fabulous keepers who I wouldn't be all touchy saying nOooOo nOt A cHanCe - hE iS NoT tHe BesT - if a person argued he/she thought one of them is the best.
They both shit. We admit it. You dont. Kepas historically bad and still ahead of de gea for spain. Says everything.Why does every discussion with Chelsea fans end with them getting all shitty and bringing up United? It's very childish. Now it's De Gea v Kepa. Granted the former has been struggling but doesn't Kepa have the worst statistics in the PL or something. And he's the most expensive goalkeeper in the world?
Only an idiot would try and twist this.
For a season lr so, yes he was. That did, however, coincide with Neuer suffering from injuries.He was never the best in the world, shot stopper probably, all round keeper not a chance.
As @Mount's Goatieson pointed out its quite laughable you're trying to pigeonhole us into that category when it's a pretty widespread thing amount trivial fanbases. If I went in the Harry Maguire thread now and critisized him are you 100% sure not a single person would bring up our current defense? You and I both know that would be the first thing targeted in response.Why does every discussion with Chelsea fans end with them getting all shitty and bringing up United? It's very childish.

Not sure I quite followed your post. Scholes was never a hit for his natuonal team either - doesn’t mean he had better players in front of himThere is nothing strange about a player United fans rating as the best in the world not being rated by his own country.

There's a key difference though. De Gea is shit at the moment. He's been fantastic for the majority of his career. For us its a question of deciding if he can recover or if he'd declined and finished. Fortunately we have Henderson and a great number two in Romero.They both shit. We admit it. You dont. Kepas historically bad and still ahead of de gea for spain. Says everything.
I wouldn't even dare to do straight swap between DDG & Kepa for one season only, I'll be surprised if you don't want to make the swap. DDG made mistake nowdays but at the same time he still capable and been making good saves this season, he ain't shite like Kepa who struggled to make saves (lowest save % in PL).They both shit its nothing to laugh about.
You're getting quite bad for it though and tbh it will put people off discussing anything with you in the future. We all get involved in banter but every time Chelsea are criticised you reply back with something like "well De Gea is shit" or the other day when the Chelsea deadwood and youth were mentioned you piped up suggesting Andreas, Lingard (and bizarrely) Mctominay were rubbish.As @Mount's Goatieson pointed out its quite laughable you're trying to pigeonhole us into that category when it's a pretty widespread thing amount trivial fanbases.

Infact during the great Lukaku Vs Morata days any Chelsea fan pointing out Lukaku wasn't very good was met with (paraphrasing) "you can hardly talk you've got Morata", infact I could be wrong but I think you were one of the culprit's.
Signing someone who's not good enough just because they're better than someone else who's not good enough is the worst transfer stragedy of all time.I wouldn't even dare to do straight swap between DDG & Kepa for one season only, I'll be surprised if you don't want to make the swap.

He has the ability to change things around. Like what Schemichel said, DDG might need time to adjust since the old United used to be poor in defense and DDG had busy time. Right now our defense been improved and rarely we let opposition to have too many chances, DDG been less busy compared to the past.
That's not what I said. I said swap for one season only.Signing someone who's not good enough just because they're better than someone else who's not good enough is the worst transfer stragedy of all time.
By the same metrics you would have took nearly any other PL winger when you had Alexis.
Very few Chelsea fans actually wanted Lukaku, most had there heart set on Auba or hoped upon hope Conte did a u turn on Costa (although in hindsight that would have been even worse). Granted Sancho is a bit of a bummer to miss out on.You're getting quite bad for it though and tbh it will put people off discussing anything with you in the future.

From what I recall the thing that caused the Lukaku Morata debate was many of the Chelsea fans were cock sure that Lukaku was going to Chelsea. When he snubbed them and picked United it didn't go down very well and a number of excuses came up which encouraged Wumming. It's similar with Sancho now though. It looks like he's picked United which is why Chelsea turned to Havertz. Apparently though that's not possible and Chelsea decided they weren't interested according to some of your fans. Its some strange inferiority complex I can't fathom. I was pissed off when Hazard went to you over us but I accepted it and moved on.
Anyway i don't think I'm the first person to point out how overly defensive you become. Just chill out a bit. You'll enjoy it more!
I think that's a totally reasonable want in a goalkeeper - but the distribution factor is not for all teams and while I agree that it's a wonderful trait to possess, I don't think it’s totally and utterly essential in terms of being labeled a world class keeper. I wholeheartedly think Ter Stegen is the best goalkeeper in the world.... for Barça. Oblak, for me, is the best goalkeeper in the world.... for Madrid. Switch their clubs and both clubs would feel cheated - it all depends how the team is playing and I wouldn't say being poor with your feet disqualifies a GK from being world class - maybe for City or Barça - but Atletico? United from 2014-2018?Okay i'd admit i was a bit overzealous with my wording but i've always assessed a keeper on his all round game, if we base it purely on shot stopping i'd probably put DDG up there with Casillas and (left field choice) Canizares as the best i've ever seen, but command of area and (in the modern day) how good you are with you're feet are just as important factors, especially at clubs looking to win titles.
That's why i was a huge fan of VDS. Rio and Vidic rightly got a lot of praise but VDS and his command of his area was just as big a factor as to why you were so stupidly good defensively, if not more so.
You're best responding with why you disagree though as opposed to going "well De Gea is shit" or at least we don't have Mctominay or whatever other rubbish which is clearly designed to get a reaction and is nonsense.Very few Chelsea fans actually wanted Lukaku, most had there heart set on Auba or hoped upon hope Conte did a u turn on Costa (although in hindsight that would have been even worse). Granted Sancho is a bit of a bummer to miss out on.
And this "defensive" thing is horseshit, few weeks ago someone made a thread saying Kante was overrated and guess what the first comment was? Me saying I agreed with large parts of what he said.
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/unpopular-opinion-the-overrated-ngolo-kante.454671/
If someone says something I believe to be untrue about one of our players I will respond. I mean if I said Greenwood was the new Wright Phillips on a purple patch I imagine numerous United fans would find their "defensive" side pretty quickly.
When you read the headline "season ending injury" it sounds horrific, but you remember then there is only 4 games left haha.Billy Gilmour out for the rest of the season with a knee injury apparently.
And what has that to do with DDG ? Irrelevant!Well i said the exact same about Cudicini when he was being regarded as the best keeper in the league (although that said he probably was at that point by default given Barthez then Howard, Dudek/Kirkland and a close to 40 yo Seaman followed by Lehman where the keepers at the other top teams).
