Pogue Mahone
The caf's Camus.
Thought his positioning was a bit better last night than the Leicester goal I was complaining about. A good 3 or 4 yards further out. Almost got a hand to what was a brilliant finish, off the base of the post.
Pretty much every keeper is better than him on one on ones chances. He should really fix that part of the game, otherwise the likes of Neuer and Courtuis will always be better than him.One on ones are a weakness of his, of that there is no doubt. Thisis one area where Neuer is vastly superior to him.
Actually, you're spot on. I misremembered the incident. He takes several steps backwards as Berahino approaches the box. Is standing on his 6 yard box when the ball goes past him. After last weeks heroics it's really frustrating to see him getting the basics wrong again. FFS...When you see the replay when Berahinho goes through he actually takes a step backwards even closer to his line. I do wonder if it's coached into him or he doesn't like coming off his line for whatever reason. If I was a striker though I'd be wanting a keeper backing away in one on ones.
It's not though. You're actually forcing the striker to make a decision if you come out. As it is he can run through unimpeded with all the time in the world to pick your spot. The striker actually gave De Gea a chance by hitting it so early.It's even worse if you close the gap and the player goes around you. A player should score a one on one 100% of the time, any time he doesn't, the blame lies solely with the striker.
Using that logic, De Gea doesn't deserve any of the praise he got for saving a penalty last week.It's even worse if you close the gap and the player goes around you. A player should score a one on one 100% of the time, any time he doesn't, the blame lies solely with the striker.
De Gea has been one of few United stars to avoid criticism during a difficult start to the new season under new boss Louis van Gaal.“[They are] just rumours. I'm happy here.”
"Starting problems are quite normal under a new coach with a complete new concept,” he continued.
“That's a process and Van Gaal always says that we will improve, but it takes time. But without a doubt, United have to reach the Champions League again."
"It was a difficult time but Sir Alex always backed me. He saved me from criticism and was patient until I was ripe for United,” he added.
"Today I'm thankful for that [the criticism]. That made me stronger. Goalkeeper is tricky position. Mistakes are human. It's about being up to that. If you make mistakes you will have to improve. Now I'm better."
Good news. I would hate to lose him. Don't get me wrong, I wish the lad the best, but we need him.'I'm happy here' - De Gea dismisses Real Madrid links
David de Gea has brushed off links with a move to Real Madrid, insisting he is happy at Manchester United.
The Spanish goalkeeper, who joined the Reds from Atletico Madrid in 2011, has overcome an inauspicious start to his Old Trafford career to become a reliable performer between the sticks.
And his impressive form has recently seen him touted as a potential replacement for Iker Casillas at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, when asked about the rumours by Kicker , the 23-year-old said:
De Gea has been one of few United stars to avoid criticism during a difficult start to the new season under new boss Louis van Gaal.
But the former Atletico star believes things will get better as the Reds push for a return to the top four.
De Gea also underlined the importance of Sir Alex Ferguson's support during a run of patchy early form following his move to United.

Currently, 3rd best keeper in the world in my opinion, subject to change. Was brilliant today. Should be Spain's number 1 without a doubt.Another brilliant performance.
Did Neville say that?Everything was comfortable for him or straight to him [/Gary Neville]
To be fair Dave doesn't have Gary Neville holding him up so he can suck his balls.He doesn't command his box as Courtois though.
I think with us lacking in height on set pieces he really should be helping out in coming out and catching/punching out more balls. Courtois always is on front foot while De Gea seems to stick to his line more. Think he lacks in frame and height and hence has struggled in that department previously but is something he needs to grow into.To be fair Dave doesn't have Gary Neville holding him up so he can suck his balls.
Said both in commentary, whilst at the same time choking his cock when Courtois caught a floated cross.Did Neville say that?
Been a bit tired with some of Neville's agendas when it comes to his United punditry recently.Said both in commentary, whilst at the same time choking his cock when Courtois caught a floated cross.
I can only assume that Mata, Rafael and DDG gang banged his mum and sent him the full 5 hour uncut DVD.Been a bit tired with some of Neville's agendas when it comes to his United punditry recently.
