He's had a good few howlers in 2018. Sevilla, Chelsea, Switzerland and now this. Very strange. Hope he's not losing his confidence.

pretty upsetting
He puts too much pressure on himself when playing for Spain, like he's not enjoying himself or allows himself to be free.
Shit for Spain. Obviously needs United to perform, so there's only one solution to this particular conundrum.
Stay forever.
Stay forever.
Yep! He clearly bumped into him in training.I blame Sergio Ramos, De Gea clearly has concussion.
It was a Round of 16 game though
He looks like he has concentration issues when he doesnt have a lot to do.
Good job our defence is shite in that case.

Ronaldo generated a lot of power on that shot even with his left. I've seen worse blunders in big matches but Dave should've got it. I guess it just shows how great he is when everyone is on his case for a mistake.
I wonder if De Gea replied to Ramos' text message?
Poor Dave. Hopefully he pulls off a Worldie or two in the next half.
Needs to get over this mental hump he has when playing for Spain. At purely club level, hes been the best performing goalkeeper but he cant be seen as the best goalkeeper in the world until he sorts out his Spain form.
Feel for him though, he'll be gutted and he just puts so much pressure on himself playing for them.

He's had about 5 howlers in 2018. What;s going on I wonder. Concentration? Confidence? There's been a few too many to just ignore at this stage
Sell him
Very few PL players start for Spain which I think makes it harder for Dave. Feel for him as he's still a newcomer to the side.
On the plus side it is Ronaldo and it was close range so it's not as bad as Marius ones were.

I assume they've all been for Spain because he sure as hell hasn't had any howlers for us
Let’s be honest, he’s at his best when his team’s up against it and he’s able to be the hero. Probably a psychological barrier he needs to get over, but currently, he’s not at his best when he’s playing for a dominant team.
Feel really bad for him. Won't get the credit he deserves (for his club performances) if he keeps performing like that on the big stage for the national team.
Don't feel sorry for him at all. He has been shit lately
Sevilla???
Edit: left one straight through him at Chelsea also but not quite as bad
Probably this.
He knows he's a stranger to most Spaniards, so he wants give that little bit extra to prove how much he loves his country. It makes him nervy.
I was going to reply saying everyone already recognises him as the best, but people even question Messi as a great because his Argentina performances aren’t on the same level. So yeah, if Dave can’t replicate his United form for Spain he’ll definitely not be seen on the same level as, for example, Neuer.
Nah. He has a mental block while playing for Spain. He made a ridiculous mistake in a build up game as well. He has had games with United where he has had feck all to do and then he pulls off a worldly.
Sevilla???
He has been successful with the Spanish youth teams who were totally dominant.
He’ll get through this.
Real need to sign Alisson ASAP. Heaven forbid Dave playing in Spain, would let in goals left, right, and center...

He's staying!
Feel so bad for him. Clearly uncomfortable in that jersey.
you alright, mate?!
DDG has concentration issues and pressure issues with Spain and Spain only. When LVG was manager and with Fergie's team, United didnt have much to do and he still had a lot of amazing saves. It's a trait that DDG and VDS had.
Can anyone remember the last goalkeeper to have the same issues? It's been night and day for club and country for years.
Bullshit. Based on one shot and a howler in an insignificant shot against Switzerland? Every GK makes mistakes, de Gea is known for making very few of them. Just like Ronaldo could miss the next penalty, de Gea made a mistake - not a big deal. Chances are he will make out of this-world saves in this game and the next. If he never made a single mistake, he would be cheating
De Gea has shown countless times for United that he can have nothing to do for 60 minutes and all of a sudden produce a world class save.
Let's kill the 'concentration' cliches right now.

This. People are talking bullshit. There are loads of matches where he makes incredible saves when we are restricting teams to very less chances.
This is pure guess but somehow i dont see him fitting well in that Spain dressing room. Maybe he doesnt feel like he belongs among them for some reason, dunno.
So what. It was against RM and the saves he made throughout were world class and showed that he stepped up against that squad on that platform.
He made a bad mistake against Sevilla for one of the goals.
It's like he's the goalkeeping version of Higuain.
A bit of nerves, it's his first WC game ever.
Mental isn't it, we dominate more games than we don't
He probably feels under more pressure when playing for Spain because they tend to prefer la liga players. Even when he was one of the best in the world they picked Casillas who was making mistakes regularly.
