Goes down like a fly always.

One of the most pathetic moments I've seen on a football pitch.

Yeah this was absolutely on my mind as well. That moment will live longer in the memory than any save he's ever made.

He should add whey protein to his diet.
11
He should also add Arabic/Chinese to his languages.

There isn't a softer goalkeeper, physically or mentally, in Europe.

How does a cherry picked video of a keeper at home to Charlton vs us away to West Ham prove anything
6â€
Ignore Heaton. Don't you find it strange that every team basically huddles De Gea on every corner? Every team in the PL knows that he won't fight to claim the ball and it's just a matter of time that one ball will fall into the huddle and they will score.
Conversely Alisson, Ederson, Ramsdale, Kepa, Raya etc are never huddled, they are allowed to move because players know that the keeper will at least get a hand on the ball.

Players in opposition clubs come out in interviews to tell US he gets targeted.

We do make defending corners that come into the 6 yard box look incredibly nervy.

Because they know it’s his weakness. I’m not denying that. Just pointing out that this video is useless at proving anything.
It’s like me posting a video of Maguire getting skinned and then Tuanzebe tackling a League 2 player and saying he’s better because of it

Is this cherry picked?
Highest payed keeper in the world. Scared of physical contact btw
24
That’s fine, I’m not arguing with that. The above post just does nothing other than shit on a player.
Like let’s be real would anyone here actually prefer to see Heaton play?
-12
Not saying this post was necessary but this isn't really about Heaton it's about the sheer outrageousness of De Gea's weakness. Like, there's weaknesses and then there's THIS. Heaton is just for reference.

Exactly im not saying we aspire to have heaton be our number one.
I want our number to at bare minimum be a competent keeper at EVERYTHING it takes be a keeper. Claiming a balla isnt a modern keeper thing its existed forever.

Do people not realise that Butland is our second choice atm?
I would have both over him

Do you remember Dubravka playing for us? And he’s better than Butland

Life of de gea apologists.
Everything is cherry picked except for the fact hes bottom in every individual goalkeeping metric from crosses claimed, high claims punches, actions off his line , command of his box
8â€
I’m not a De Gea apologist. Those stats are fine, post that. But posting this cherry picked video is useless. You only dilute the point you’re trying to make
End of the day, it looks like DDG is staying. Which means we’ll probably sign a back up to him and slowly transition DDG out of the team. Constantly bashing and slating our players is pointless.
2â€
You want me to make 10minute video of his inability to command his box?
5
Go for it. At least that will have some effort.
1â€
It doesn't. But it feeds the flames.
1â€
People going overboard on de gea, he isn't good enough for number 1 but fanbase are reactive idiots (same people few months ago saying how good he is)
-2â€
Cause there’s weirdos who want to see a bloke who’s given his career to United fail and be miserable.
I don’t see the cherry picking of the numerous big saves over the last couple of games.
-2â€
Agreed mate. It doesn’t make sense, sure everyone has their opinion on him whether they want him to stay or not. But hating on him is absolutely stupid. He’s a legend of the club and some fans have absolutely no respect
-1â€
Get a life mate
1â€
We get it.

I can only imagine you celebrating West Hams goal the last night, you're fucking pathetic.
-1â€
We get it. Ffs. De Gea isn't good for us anymore. Let's stop this witch hunt before it comes to Maguire like levels.

Maguire got scapegoated De gea isn't getting scapegoated
Maguire got bomb threats to his house for less than what de gea cost us.

De Gea is our record clean sheets holder. Maguire is the most expensive defender ever.
De Gea won a premier league with us.
Maguire watched us win the league cup.
Bomb threats are absolutely stupid regardless of who they’re against. But to say Maguire has cost us less than DDG is a joke.

De Gea won a premier league with us.
We won a PL in spite of him after he'd cost us one the season before!
Incredible how his protectors will retreat to using his PL medal as some sort of shield when Fergie dropped him for 10 games for Lindegaard and only managed to get back in because the latter got injured.

De Gea won a premier league 10 years ago De gea also cost us a premier league 11 years ago
De gea took double the games to touch the schmeical clean sheet record.
De gea hasn't had positive goals prevented season since his stand out season with jose
De gea on average concedes over a goal a game
De gea has cost us multiple times over the past 10 years in multiple important games.

All of that and he’s still our no1

Just about every day you see some DDG post on here. People post how poor he is constantly.
1
lifes 50% easier with having a goalkeeper that can atleast command his box
Like Jagielka
David de Gea has stopped 3.3% of the crosses into his box & made 0.85 defensive actions outside his box per 90 in the Premier League this season, ranking him in the BOTTOM 25% of goalkeepers.
A Great Servant of Manchester United. 🙌🙌🙌 BUT time for change. ⌛️⌛️⌛️
