I've been telling my brother for ages that DDG could save those Coutinho curlers

Can you believe it? There was a guy somewhere in some thread who wrote that.
Best keeper in the world makes a couple of worldies? standard stuff from our Dave to be honest.
Are you worthy? I know I'm not.

It was a top class save but his positioning was already very good to cope with the shot.
Haven't been able to watch the game yet. But from what I heard: Yeah I am happy that he had a great game. He is one of my favorite players and I know what he is capable today do!
TBH thats the hand he should be going with. Gives you more reach.
How so?
That will have done his confidence the world of good after a fairly average start to the season by his standards.
Try it yourself. You get more / higher reach going with that hand. Same as why cricketers do it whilst fielding.
I know there has been an argument going on who is the better, him or Neuer, but from now on I won't even entertain the idea.
Compare their ages and it becomes even clearer. David De GOAT is the best GK in the world.
Yeah, German contingent, I went there.

Both saves were great, but I was most impressed with the Can one, like a last ditch save by an ice hockey goalie.
The second one I have seen him make time and again. The Can one was actually good since it came through a forest of legs and he still got a very strong hand to it.

The feck is this
Tbh it's just what I expect from him now. It's the reason we were desperate to keep him, and as far as I know went and made him the highest paid keeper in the world.
I'd say it has been AT LEAST a draw between the pair of them for the last couple of years. No doubt for me that de Gea is #1 now.
Only Superman would have made that with the other hand.
Well, the positioning is more than half the work, you know. VDS was an expert at positioning. DDG is very good at it as well.
Pretty much - I used to play as a goalie (not very well mind you), and I love to watch great goalies, but when DDG pulls off those saves, it's just "yep, good save" and that's it. He is THAT good!
Came in to post exactly this. He gave himself a chance of making the save because of his positioning, most keepers wouldn't have got there.
That low diving save was absolutely outstanding, very few keepers would have kept it away.. top reactions. And that Coutinho save was standard David, however we are talking about very high standards..
Can anyone show the save against Mata's FK and yesterday's save against Coutinho? Save from Mata immediately sprang to mind. The ability to reach, extend and arch his back, yet still have the necessary strength to palm it away around the post is magisterial.
The Can one was the more impressive of the two, he would have seen that unbelievably late and did incredibly well to get down and get a strong hand to it.
Both great saves, but that one was something very special.

Agree with you. Coutinho's save is made because DDG is that good, but most important thing is that he was aware of the situation, good positioning and good footwork to get across. Can's chance, he didn't see it until late and made a strong save with Valencia alert to clear.
Came back in the perfect way to show how good he really is after his rare error against Stoke. Best in the world.
Someone in the match thread was trying to tell me it wasn't that great. I thought it was the better save. You could tell Cutie was shaping up for a shot, whereas the one at 59' would've gotten past almost anyone.
I thought the one where a Pool player was offside was similarly good. Monster reflex, this time more like a handball goalie.
Jesus Christ.
Best goalkeeper in the world.
I hate him. Get past the defence and there he is, ready to save anything you throw at him. I'd put him a class or two above any other keeper in the league. The best keeper in Europe currently.
And therefore... the best in the world?
Man Utd 4:1 Fenerbahce
great once again.He is amazing. Superman, his reflexes are unreal.
Chelsea 4:0 Man Utd
feck me, diabolical
Safe to say he won't be troubling the POTY awards this season.
No he won't. He's made a couple of errors this season which are completely out of the ordinary for him.
