I have been one of De Gea's biggest critics for quite some time now. I've always thought that he is quite possibly the best shot stopper in the world, but it's the rest of his game that he struggles with. He has had to make phenomenal saves that other keepers either wouldn't have to make (quick off their line), or saves that would be routine to other keepers (better positioning). But if there's one part of his game that to me seems to be very under rated it's when he has the ball at his feet. I see nothing wrong with his distribution. In my opinion, people are looking for something that isn't there, and when a pass does go astray, they say "see, his passing is horrible" (nobody has 100% pass accuracy). My biggest problems with him has been his reluctance to leave his goal line. This year he seems to be doing better. We have seen him play sweeper keeper a lot more than he has before, so there's definite improvement there. I still have a problem with his positioning at times and he still needs to defend his 6 better when it comes to crosses. But he is improving (didn't think he could). And if that improvement continues, I'd be good with having him stay past his current contract, just as long as he is willing to take a pay cut...
