I think he was instructed by EtH to do so. The manager clearly saw his deficiencies and wants to avoid facilitating goal scoring opportunities near our goal. Would be interesting to see if that changes with Dubravka between the sticks.Him punting the ball under little pressure was incredible frustrating, but he also made a great save from Madisons free kick, which is basically what we are left with, a great shot stopper but no intangibles.
No he hasn’t, he just hasn’t made any huge blunders like the Brentford game. Shocking that these are the standards for the highest paid goalkeeper everHe has been pretty good these last 2 games. Brentford game was awful alright, but he played a big part in our comeback since then.
On the contrary, the over focusing over his goal kicks to single out the negative thing in his game while he was solid in protecting the net is ridiculous. In the last 2 games he had made some pretty good saves that could have easily been the equalizer.No he hasn’t, he just hasn’t made any huge blunders like the Brentford game.

I've heard that Porto's GK Diogo Costa is supposed to be good. Do we have any Porto fans in attendance who can comment? He's got a 60m euro release clause which isn't outrageous, in the grand scheme of things.Anyone have an idea on who should be our main targets next summer to replace him? GK is the one position I don't have a great knowledge of as far as potential prospects go.
I agree perhaps under pressure, but on a lot of occasions he had a simple pass for us to retain possession and still booted it.I think he was instructed by EtH to do so.

Saves that I’m certain every keeper in the premier league makes? Like last week when the ball was smacked straight at his face and for some reason his stans was lapping him upOn the contrary, the over focusing over his goal kicks to single out the negative thing in his game while he was solid in protecting the net is ridiculous.

It was like I was blind but got a glimpse of what sight was like. Jesus I wish we had someone who could do that every time.He had couple of moments today where he picked out a 20 yard pass on the floor when being pressured by the Leicester forwards which had me like 'woah'.
He must be under orders to boot it because Ten Hag would be going nuts if he wasn't.Tweet

He boots the ball forward almost every time he has the ball. We don't have a target man to win headers. We're relying on trying to win second balls. He lasted this transfer window. Next summer, it is a priority to replace him. There is a huge difference between how De Gea started this season and how he's playing now. He's playing everything long now.
Good save on Maddison's freekick.
It's a pretty basic save made more difficult by his starting position (a common trait with De Gea to be fair). I thought it was odd in the ground but wanted to check a replay before commenting but he's a step too far to his right when the kick is taken, hence you see him taking two steps to his left before Maddison even strikes the ball. The reality it's a good strike and a fine save but the ball is nowhere near the corner, it's actually a good yard in from the post and either goalkeeper on the pitch last night would have been very disappointed to have let it in.Saves that I’m certain every keeper in the premier league makes?

The mistake against Brentford might be in the back of his mind and he might be having some doubts about going short whenever the CB is under pressure. Having said that, I still think he's coming out to collect balls more often than he used to.His save from the Madison free kick was excellent. It's still an issue that his kicks always go long though. His long kick is actually fairly decent but you have to be confident enough to play it short as well. As Cain Smith pointed out, you're going to struggle to take control of matches if you don't have that option.

Sanchez and DDG is his idol. Dubrawka will replace him before the World CupAnyone have an idea on who should be our main targets next summer to replace him? GK is the one position I don't have a great knowledge of as far as potential prospects go.
I'm pretty sure thats Ten Hag's instructions, first two games we were playing from the back. We looked totally shit at it and teams punished us for it.Tweet

I know. Everybody that is even slightly critical of De Gea knew that he wouldn't be able to play the way ETH will want him to. That is why I thought it should have been a priority to replace him this summer. We even bought Martinez to help the team to play out from the back. The philosophy has already been abandoned after 2 games, and it was obvious before a ball had been kicked that this would have to happen.I'm pretty sure thats Ten Hag's instructions, first two games we were playing from the back.

I think Ten Hag noticed this and decided to abandon the playing from the back approach, at least for now. I do think eventually well come back to it again and by that time we'll need a better keeper than De Gea.
Dubravka lost his spot to Nick Pope. He isn’t coming close to usurping Dave.Sanchez and DDG is his idol. Dubrawka will replace him before the World Cup
Just wait and see !Dubravka lost his spot to Nick Pope. He isn’t coming close to usurping Dave.
Yeah, you will. The concept is mental.Just wait and see !
How do so many of you keep saying that. Have you never watched either Martin Dubravka or David De Gea play football?https://ballerzbantz.com/2022/09/03...in-the-aftermath-of-their-catastrophic-start/
Damning article on DDG.
No question DDG won't be here next season if EtH is still here.
And yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see Dubravka come into the team say in a month or two.
