Forget the last line of defence, sometimes this season he's looked like he was our defence. The amount of clear chances we forced him to deal with was jaw dropping but he still refused to be beaten. Gotta tie him down on a longer contract as soon as we can.
Hands down the man of the match. Unlucky to have conceded. I think everyone had just switched off there and allowed giroud to take the shot.
Might have something to do with Carrick being switched into a centreback position and briefly losing the French cnut.
Saved us from the predictable early barrage which led to us eventually hitting them on the counter twice. Best goal keeper in the prem along with courtouis.

Yup those cnuts from Madrid will be after him
It was a poor shot but the save from Wilshere was sensational.
Great performance today. Some of his kicking in the first half wasn't good but that really is nitpicking because his shot stopping was excellent and he's saved us on more than a few occasions this season.
If he wants 300k per week give it to him.

Not fussed. DDG is definitely in the mould of Ronaldo in the sense he takes criticism on-board and becomes better because of it.
Very weird quote from van Gaal
Errrm, you're doing it wrong LVG
If LVG cant be satisfied with de Gea, I doubt he can be satisfied with anything, he just won you 3 points and you're still not satisfied, thats ridiculous.
I think we can replace anyone in this squad right now except De Gea. I don't care who we sell or who leaves as long as we can retain De Gea.
Woody is righting up the 10 year deal as we speak. Stature optional.
Odd quote there, but De Geas first season showed he can grow with criticism.
De Gea did make an almost costly mistake, ended up passing it right to an Arsenal player in acres of space.

I think Van Gaal's criticism is to do with his passing which was shocking, but he wasn't really helped out by some of the back passes to him.
This, this, and only this!!
Him writing up means it might take a while. Maybe in a couple years, De Gea will have his contract.
Imagine giving him an actual defense, he's just an immense keeper for me the best in the league. Give him the contract he so richly deserves.
I agree. De Gea was pressed hard. Not many players press higher and harder than Sanchez and Welbeck, and some of the passes from Blackett to De Gea were like shots on target.
I hope LvG is just wanting to fire De Gea up and not make him think he is undisputed #1 so he strives to improve. De Gea's kicking when not under pressure is superb, but he's pretty lousy when pressed. A lot of goalkeepers are, but he needs to improve if he wants to be the best.
Still, I love him. Our best player, and our most irreplaceable player.
He should be paid more than any GK in the world. That's how vital he is for us.
Need to do whatever we can to sign him to a new contract. Pay him whatever he wants, sign more Spanish players and put them on the bench if it makes him more comfortable.
Isn't there a theory of management where you find any minor criticisms you can when something is going great and act supportive and positive when things are going badly? I reckon it is a bit of that going on with the quotes from LVG. De Gea was a hero today but the kicking would be a minor criticism.
His clearances in first half 25 minutes were shocking. Apart from that he was stupidly good again.
Van Gaal just showing why he has a reputation for being weird.
Yup, plenty of those have to do with how our defenders, especially Blackett, backpassed it. So many times those backpasses were on goal / bouncing it was a fecking disaster waiting to happen really.
Just keeps putting in great performance after great performance. Get this man a new contract and a proper defence to work with!
I hope that's another case of LvG's dodgy English coming into play. Not only was De Gea excellent again today, he is becoming a leader back there like our previous two great keepers. I'll be gutted if we lose him.
I'd say LvG is just keeping him on his toes there with them comments.
There'd be no 3 pts this evening without him though that's for sure, he's turning out to be some keeper.

LVG is right, his kicking today was VERY poor and it does put us under pressure at times, we could have been punished by a better team. I don't see how what LVG said is wrong or weird, of course De Gea has many fantastic attributes but he does need to improve, there's room for massive improvement.
can't see anyone better than him in the world atm.
Honestly, He's the face of united. not rooney/falcao/van persie/mata etc. He's an absolute superstar.
Incredible today. Get the new deal sorted Woodward.
He is in the top 3 in the world this season, and his doing this with an unsettled back line.
Crazy quote from Van Gaal.
He has been on top 3 for some time now. I really think that in the 3 seasons (including this) only Neuer has been better while Courtuis has been on the same level as him.
Great game from Big Dave. With Casillas back in the good books and Barca stuck with the transfer ban and having already bought a couple of keepers, I think he'll stay for a few more years.
Im guessing LVG not happy with some of his clearances / distribution. The Wilshere chance was from his own bad clearance so he redeemed himself. He did well with a lot of the shots where he made it look easy but it certainly was not (the bounce before it reached him and not spilling it).
Imagine him with a solid defence in front of him?

Weird from LvG. Valdes just go away to Barca or whereever until DDG signs a new contract!
Nothing and noone should stand in the way of DDG's contract extention with us!

I agree though last 2 seasons it was debatable this season it's not.
