I thought DDG had put his worst years behind him during Fergies last years and the start of Moyes/LVG era. He was absolutely world class for us at times and still does have periods in a game where he can pull off a fantastic save - he will always have that.
However; compare DDG to the other world class keepers in the league (Alisson & Ederson in my opinion), they just don't commit howler after howler like DDG has been this year. I'm fully aware that keepers go in and out of form like any other player on the pitch, however to be #1 at United requires you to snap out of that form far quicker than DDG has this season. Solskjaer has had to publicly defend him multiple times this year and I feel his mistake(s) last night could be one of the last nails in his coffin for many United fans.
You can call it a 'knee jerk' to last night if you want, but for me he's been at fault for far too many goals in the last 18 months and we cannot have that going forward.
EDIT: To top it off for me, he walked off the pitch last night smiling, waving and shaking hands/talking with the Chelsea lot. FFS man, you've had a howler and don't even look bothered by it.
