Worst game in decades. Looked awful. Maybe that sex thing affects him. Even his decent save from close-range was basically his attempt to correct his own mistake.
 
Worst performance of his since that City game in 2011 community shield. Should keep madrid away thankfully
 
Just saw the BBC Report on Spain's game - sounds like he was absolutely terrible tonight.
 
I think it's clear that his good form was completely down to LVG.

He did that so Madrid will back off. :D

Seriously though, mistake for Rakitić's lob, one bad boxing of the ball and tbh he should have saved Perišić's goal. It's keeper's angle every time, no matter the deflection.
 
This is the worst I can remember David de Gea playing (and I remember Bournemouth away last season! :lol:)

There was just an overwhelming complacency about Spain from the seventh minute of tonight's game. De Gea's performance typified it. Despite picking their first choice players, Spain played as though all they had to do was turn up to win. They clearly did not expect the Croats to have a go and De Gea was caught off guard, like his teammates, several times. The concentration that you usually see from him just wasn't there. Lots of very small but noticeable little errors. Its as if he thought, Spain being Spain, he wouldn't have much to do and so he could relax. The silver lining is that Real Madrid won't be in a rush to sign him after tonight. The Spanish public will slaughter him mercilessly for that second goal...
 
If I was Madrid, I wouldn't even look twice at him. I really don't know how we're gonna survive with this guy in our goals next season. Can the man do anything right?
 
:eek: Suddenly DDG made Euro much more interesting with coming the knockout round :lol:
 
He was poor tonight and he made a few mistakes but it's probably his first bad game I can think of since Sunderland away In the season just gone which was months ago. He does let the occasional soft goal in though I've noticed this season. It's usually because he's always so hell bent on using his legs even if it's going in the top corner.
Seriously though, he's a top keeper and if he doesn't get shunned forever he'll soon make the no1 spot his own for Spain
 
Couple more performances like these and we could happily extend his contract on the final year without any hassles :drool:
 
All top keepers have an off night. He'll need a few more like that before Spain would drop him.
 
His errors weren't uncharacteristic. He's a good and spectaculair goalkeeper, but not without his flaws, it's nothing that we haven't seen before. It's certainly not the first time he doesn't cover the near post.
 
I think mistakes that cost goals/near misses from DDG are quite rare, so they they tend to get highlighted when they happen. Spain got away with one when he had the ball taken off him and Rakitic hit the bar, how much the deflection played a part in the winner I am not sure.
 
He has a bad game twice a year or so. Yet people like to go crazy about it but that actually speaks for him
 
Is it just me or are half the shots that beat him deflections? He needs to work on some sorts of ricochet drills to further improve his reflexes.
 
The second goal seemed similar to the deflected goal Daniel Sturridge scored against us at Anfield when we won 2-1 in 2014/15.



Still think De Gea should be better positioned for the Croatia second goal, but without the deflection, he saves it easily I think.
 
"Is it just me or are half the shots that beat him deflections?"

This is something I have noticed too. I watch only him most of the time, so my query is : does this happen with other goalkeepers as well?

:lol::lol: Absurd.

Reaction is one of his biggest strengths, which allows him to wait longer before committing, which has saved us time and time again.

No wait, sell the spanish twat and bring in Foster.
 
Haha yep the keeper with the quickest reaction times in the world, who regularly makes some of the sharpest saves I've ever seen need to improve his reactions :lol:. There's either some idiots on here or its becoming a parody site, not all keepers can save everything and mistakes are part and parcel of football, get over it.

The only idiocy here is suggesting that just because he has incredible reflexes there isn't any room for improvement at all.

He has some of the best reactions in the world and honestly compared to pretty much all keepers his reactions are out of this world. Your just highlighting afew soft goals, newsflash keeps don't stop everything and do make mistakes. He really can't improve much on the reaction part of his game, positioning though, that could perhaps be worked on.
 
It's probably because of his reflexes that he tends to leave a gap a the near post. But that has gone wrong a bit too often, with or without a deflection.
 
Just watched the game. Worst I've seen him play in a long time. I hope he doesn't get dropped (he doesn't deserve to considering how long Iker got despite being awful). Not really that fussed though. One bad game every 100 or so is more than acceptable.
 
Honestly couldn't care about that performance. Wouldn't mind him being sloppy for the rest of the tournament. Would put off the vultures from a potential transfer.
