Shame that he played for us during our most pathetic era. Won't be as revered down the line because of the gash he's had to play with. Some of the bashing he gets on here is shocking considering he's always been a model pro and genuinely cares unlike somebody like Ronaldo who's still revered by many here eventhough he's a massive bellend who seems to only care about his brand. Should've joined Madrid when he had the chance.

Really? Are you saying any other goalkeeper can’t make the saves he makes? Are you’d suggesting that other goalkeepers would have also made the mistakes he’s made over the past 10 years, just two examples would be last game at Upton Park and v Chelsea at Old Trafford under Ole both games cost us UCL the following seasons.
I understand he makes saves that look amazing on the camera, but I’ve never seen a more mistake prone goalkeeper in my entire life lapped up like this. Every compilation And goal Videos you could find would have a de Gea mistake
Yes he has been extremely good. He did have a two seasons where he was not his usual self but how many times has he saved us? Lots.
Goalkeepers performances get overrated in bad teams. The more shots they face the better they look, they are just doing their job.
Quick Google. For the 3 relegated teams in 20/21 the goalkeeper was player of the year. 19/20 two goalkeepers player of the year.

I like De Gea but I’d like EtH to decisively come in and move him on for a sweeper keeper, which suits how EtH likes to play.
Would be a good sign that he’ll ruthlessly build the team in his own image and not just accept what’s there.
Of course, there are parallels to Guardiola/Hart there too

Man Utd 3:2 Norwich
That save low to his right at 2-2 was as much a match winner as the Ronnie free kick.
He saved us several times again today. But people will still claim he and Ronaldo are the problems.
De Gea has been great...but that tendency to stay on his line hurts us. There was one Norwich cross that got headed back for a corner by Dalot that he could easily have caught. Nothing resulted from it but just summed him up.
Its still not nearly as big an issue for us then the rest of our defence.
Plus one
Saved us. Again. But he is the problem 
People that think Henderson is better are crazy. This man and Ronaldo are responsible for United still being relevant for top 4.
He hasn’t been blamed for the second goal yet? It did go in near post after all.
Its coming
And the first save at 0-0? He had to come off his line way out to do it.
Obviously played it up for the camera. If he was further out, he could have caught it.
Has anyone even expressed this opinion in the last 6 months?
And now I’m off to the Ronaldo page to see what did he did wrong today

Yes. Many of them think we should get rid of DDG for Hendo.
Good decision. If you're in doubt, kick it out.
I’m in absolute disbelief at people saying he saved us. He made decent saves, saves I’d expect him and any other goalkeeper to make. It’s just with de Gea, the commentators decide to moan a bit louder for some reason. His standards are so low that basic saves are now ‘he’s saving us’ etc etc
and I’m not going to get started on the ‘without de Gea we’d be x place’ that’s terrible logic. We’d have another goalkeeper who can do exactly what he can do, and would cause our CB’s less stress
Pukki beat him on the near post, a weakness he hasn’t fixed during his entire United career and also that pass above sums him up, I’m not sure what he’s thinking but that could be a possible attack he’s just ruined. Maguire is so comfortable on the ball so I don’t know why he refused to pass to him

Rather that than what happened City in the fa Cup yesterday
Exactly. This was just after our goal. Maguire had a Norwich player behind him. I’ll take DDG over a keeper that risks that pass at 3-2 with 10 minutes to go every time.
Hard to believe the whole 'keepers shouldn't be beaten at their near post' myth continues to live on, even after actual goalkeepers have called it nonsensical.
Liverpool 4:0 Man Utd
There were a couple of moments where a more progressive/ proactive keeper would have ran out to stop a Liverpool chance. This guy sticks to his line like it’s glue.
You can see the difference between him and Allison when they are both in the same game
Allison pinging balls out whilst DDG kicks it out of play.
I remember when DDG joined he would do a cruyff turn and could pass better. Not sure what happened there
Agreed.
Any ball in behind Liverpool I know it's only a matter of time before Allison appears on the screen and stops the danger. Any ball in behind us I know it's gonna be a chance on goal if it's not overhit.
Rashford should've buried the chance in the second half, granted, but Alisson equally showed De Gea what proactive goalkeeping looks like. He was off his line immediately making the chance as difficult as possible given the situation, and ended up being rewarded for it when he made the save.
In a sea of shit, De Gea is far from the biggest stench, but his steadfast refusal to leave his line causes problems for the side and it is showcased ruthlessly when a keeper with Alisson's command of his area is his opposition number.

If you dont coach it, you dont use it and ultimately regress. I bet our coaching of GKs is of a standard like 15 years ago. Adding to that, he is a bit of a fanny and risk averse our Dave.
Ineffective and outdated, just like United
Our GK coaching was best in class when Frans Hoek was here and he's on record stating he received pushback from De Gea on his methods.
Thats fair
It does seem like DDG tries to make himself as small as possible when coming out, like he's using his frame but turning his head too.
Allison has that Schmeichel stance of making himself so big hence why he saves so many one on ones and why the high line whilst a risk still has a big obstacle
He's a good shot-stopper and that's all. He has nothing else in his toolkit.
Got to watch a world class keeper tonight. It sadly wasn't ours. De Gea kicking the ball out/straight to the opposition triggers me in every game.
