must a bit bizarre- we’ve been spanked in all three games, but we can’t fault him at all.Couldn't do much for any of the goals. But like the rest of the team, he has a soft mentality. Seems to buckle under pressure. That said, he's yet to make a mistake this season so I don't think he deserves to be dropped.
Today’s penalty was unsaveable. He actually almost got there, but the shot was too accurate and powerful.His record on penalties is absolutely astonishing.
How on earth is he so bad at saving them?
If that was the only or worst mistake involved in that goal and it had finished 2-1 then they might.How can people say he's not at fault for the second? He literally hesitates coming off his line allowing Son to get there first
I'm not blaming him for today.Today’s penalty was unsaveable. He actually almost got there, but the shot was too accurate and powerful.
Not really at fault for any of the goals
Think he hasn’t saved a pen since April 2016 ... 23 consecutive failsMust be close to 25 pens in a row he's not saved.
Must be a few for Spain too in that time.Think he hasn’t saved a pen since April 2016 ... 23 consecutive fails
May be some kind of record for a professional goalkeeper
think that includes SpainMust be a few for Spain too in that time.
It's remarkable
The organization point is spot on. VDS was exceptionally good at it, and it's no surprise that the back line looked calmer and steadier when he played than when one of his backups played.
Why would you pay him the biggest wage of Gk in the whole fecking world, if you only expect him to not making mistake.Couldn't do much for any of the goals.

Good points although a little harsh on Given since he did have Titus Bramble and friends in front of him for his peak years. De Gea was always below average in coverage of box, distribution and general presence as goalkeeper. And absolutely nothing on Schmeichel and Van der Sar in that regard. When he was being compared with peak Neuer, the only way he could justify it would be to keep making 4 or 5 ridiculous saves a match and not make any errors. While he was doing that, it more than made up for the other things. Once he stopped doing that, there was nothing there.
I see him so often scream at his defenders in every match. There is no point having a keeper as a "leader" if your braindead defenders never listen. I have noticed very often recently from De Gea.He just isn't a leader at the back and even though he hasn't really made a mistake, I think Henderson deserves his chance now. That back 5 needs a leader especially with Maguires head seemingly in a Greek jail.
Everyone always says this but you expect a world class goalkeeper to at least have one of those saves which you think "that should have been a goal!", Instead with De Gea it's always "ah that was always being a goal".Today’s penalty was unsaveable. He actually almost got there, but the shot was too accurate and powerful.

The question is: does Ole have the balls to do this?We need to freshen the backline and that should start with DDG. I'd like to see Henderson given a run of games to see if there is any visible improvment in the defense. Defense just need organization and i believe Henderson would be a better fit than DDG at this. I mena we've hit rock bottom now, whats there to lose in playing Henderson, which might turn out to be interesting atleast.
As much as i'm ole in , i don't think he would do it right away. He's not a gambler like SAF and dosen't make changes right away.The question is: does Ole have the balls to do this?
Some players just seem undropable irrespective of their current form. De Gea is one of them sadly.
But first goal was a severe deflection, how could he save that? If only he initially came out of his line to catch the first ball in the middle of the penalty box, but it’s not his play style...Could have done better for 1st, 2nd and 4th goal, but when you have this shit defender around him I can't blame him.

The second and fourth goals he might have potentially saved, but neither was a “goalkeeper mistake”
