A lot of people want Kepa to be given a chance. That should tell you how highly he’s rated in Spain.
He could have saved two, the first one and Golovin were saveable
All just to make sure Madrid don't want him
LVG tactic for the Dutch team, yes?
Let's not turn pen shoot outs to a science. For me it's always more about missing them than them being saved....
Underperformed along with the rest of the Spanish team. He has never been very good for the NT for whatever reason.
I'd blame him for that shootout as much as a goalkeeper can be blamed for a shootout tbh. Shouldve kept out 2 of them, debatably 3. The shots just went right through him basically. I love the guy, but he looks bereft of confidence playing for Spain and cant save anything.
He will at some point. If he shows better performances, he could be the No1
Neither one of those penalties were anything special, maybe first. 3 after were all easy saveable, one went straight through him, that was actually very poor keeping for a top keeper.
The state of this forum.Anyone would think we are talking about shit version of Shay Given here.
Terrible tournament for him this.
If we are saying that he isn't good enough on this tournament, then neither are Isco, Pique, David Silva Ascensio for Spain.
Poor in the shootout really.. Never really get the sense he's going to stop a penalty. Strange really, because he's probably got the best reactions out there.
Wow, I don't know what to say other than this is a shocking post. And you are normally a good poster.
Yeah lets ship him of to Madrid...
Why does every criticism of de Gea turn this place into North Korea ffs.
He is a world class shot stopper and is reliable. But he also has several weaknesses which are sure to show up at the wrong moments if he doesn't improve. Stating that here does not mean anyone wants him out.
All of Russias penalties were calm and collected no matter where they were put (reminded me of Germany). Really don't think you can take much from his record at saving penalties.
There's such a huge element of luck involved.

But inherently savable. If every penalty was top bins, then there's nothing De Gea can do and he's flapping. But a pen down the middle? Absolutely savable.
Your Hierro played cowardly for 90 mins and only had balls to go at it from ET and yet it all De Gea's fault. Spain loves playing victim card here.
Vilified for? He's not one of the players who missed their penalties.
This thread is just stupid right now. Some need to wind their necks in....
He dived and it was on the floor under him. Those are very tough especially very close to the body.

The pens through the middle were horrible. You just have to save those.
I said it in this topic. https://www.redcafe.net/threads/we-...th-de-gea-in-goal.436184/page-5#post-22692650
He made 4 saves+ 1 miss, conceded 21 in his United carrier, 19%. Putin read my post and aimed for shootout from the start
He is a trend on Twitter now
He dived for every penalty, that looks to be the problem for him.
The one that went under him in particular he should have saved
Then if he just stood his ground and if the pens were just wide, all would jimp on how he didn't even try.
It’s actually quite hilarious that the entire medium of football fans have now become experts on goalkeeping in penalty shootouts.
Not that he was particularly good or anything tonight - just really funny.

Always jumps on the right. The first one was his only chance to save it, after it I knew they'll always shoot on the left.
His only weakness is he doesn't play as sweeper, not distribution or anything. Your post was knee jerk reaction.
De Gea was awful at the pens. Hopefully Madrid don't want him now.
Sounds about right. Even when Romero is injured.
25% according to this unless you're either talking about just United or including shootout records as well. Akinfeev's record is slightly better at 26.5%. Courtois' is 16.1%, ter Stegen 24.3% while Neuer has a fantastic 34.6%.
Should have done better in the shootout though. He always dives to his right - van der Sar was similar in preferring to dive to his right.
I agree that Spain were awful, but De Gea has not done his reputation any good in this World Cup either.
He’s made a grand total of 1 save and let in 6 goals.
So you suggest he stand there rooted to the ground?
His distribution is average. Not mediocre, but nothing extraordinary either. Has had a couple of moments where it helped us grab a goal, but other moments when he just gave the ball away to the oppo when under the cosh. Not his worst area though, I never said that.
Spain like Portugal, Argentina and Germany - was honestly rather shit in every game and on borrowed time. Big Dave obviously didn't play well but to blame him for their removal from the tourney is just stupid.
Apart from 1 almost nothing were savable or you can blame De Gea for.
2 of them he could've done what akinfeev did. We all love him, but hes just pretty shit at pens and especially for Spain in general.
Usually can't blame a goalkeeper for not saving any PKs because the advantage is on the shooter's side, but damn those Russian's penalties were HORRIBLE.....
Ah get away with this.
Its nothing phrases such as commanding the area or bad distribution that's nonsense. Just because he isn't Ederson with his feet doesn't mean he has average distribution and we rarely concede from crosses in open play.
Its all buzzwords that's been amped up over the last month.
From De Gea is the only reason we have a great defensive record to he has several departments to work on before he falls off a cliff when he's 30.
You can't get away with simply being a shot stopper in England. Its too direct for that.
Its all just an over reaction.
