Don’t be silly.
I'm calling it: DDG is the best we've ever had

Imagine being dumb enough to think he was ever better than Van Der Sar in the first place.
Now we know who to blame!
The guy is done.
Stop flip flopping ffs.
Yeah he's finished
Imagine being so clueless on the rich history of Manchester United's great goalkeepers and making daft statements like a 25 year old goalie being "the best we've ever had", and then acting perplexed and resorting to personal attacks when your kneejerk opinions get called out down the line.
He's definitely one of the best we've ever had (not necessarily the best). He just isn't good enough anymore.
I know bumping old threads and trying to act all clever is your entire identity but you seem to have trouble understanding much else.
What does his age have to do with anything?
What makes the thread knee jerk?
I doubt it’s the same posters.
Surely you can’t have bad form for this long?
There’s too much nuance and understanding involved in this for certain people to grasp it.
If a player is poor now then he’s never been any good.
So he’s never been any good?
Yep. Two years is a decline not bad form.
How many DDG threads do we need, and why do I find myself posting in all of them?
None of it makes sense.
None of it makes sense.
He's a shot stopper. Never been a leader. He's miles behind both Van Der Sar and Schmeichel.
He's the best sandman impersonator we've ever had.
What are you even taking about? Please expand..
He's not even that any more sadly.
You’re questioning it being form?
He was superb, undeniable, he’s just not anymore. The errors are far to regular at this point, and it’s very damaging to have a keeper that has this many howlers so often.
Sometimes its works but twice today his constantly preference to set himself up to save the ball with his feet instead of his hands have cost him
You aren’t making sense. Form is a period of time, not a whole career.
So now we're all going to pretend like De Gea was never that good?
It was always Schmeichel.
He's turned into Karius. Liverpool replaced him quickly. We've let it go on 2 years abd gave him the beat contract in the world. Sanchez II
It’s at the point where I hate De Gea. Costs us so much the last two years. Massive cnut.
Exactly, yet your initial reply to me was a suggestion that what we’re seeing from him now is not “form”.
So I asked you what point you’re trying to make? That he wasn’t actually that good to begin with?
Apparently.
Only idiots would do that, but his error filled displays in key matches is too regular occurrence to ignore at this point.
He was excellent at his peak, but didn't have the longevity to beat the legends.
No denying he's been bad for a while now.
When this thread was made De Gea was incredible for us.
Yeap.
I genuinely think your original post was to try and put words into people’s mouths.
I was replying to your use of the word ‘form’. You can’t call it form anymore.
These quotes sum it up perfectly:
Great servant to the club but now it's time to move him on.
So your only reason for replying was to argue the semantics of form vs decline? In response to a post saying that what we’re seeing now doesn’t cancel out what came before?
He's the best we HAD. Past tense.
Close thread. Not fit to even clean Schmeichel's boots.
He was pretty damned great when he was good. But with the shit he’s been serving up the past two seasons, combined with the fact that his best years were poor years for the club, he’s ruining any chance of being remembered as an all-time great.
