De Gea does currently cost us points / goals with his mistakes. No doubt. I do however have faith that he will come good in the end
CR was missing chances too and doing wrong decisions and sure had cost us some points when he was young .. but you need to give those kids a run to learn and reach their potential I remember how some friends were saying CR was rubbish and is a circus show dribbler who keep the ball more than he should and costing us points by his selfishness..
I can't be jealous of how good they are... they're crap shwan, no-one is arguing but you. I suggest you find another means of self fulfilment.
you entered a discussion when you don't watch UTD and can't remember last time he made a mistake prior to spurs game any normal person will not enter such a discussion with such a poor knowledge about the player
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has insisted he regards himself as the No.1 for the Premier League leaders. The Spaniard could find himself back on the bench for Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie with Fulham as Sir Alex Fergusoncontinues to utilise the former Atletico Madrid man and fellow shot-stopper Anders Lindegaard. De Gea made a number of superb saves during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane but was heavily criticised by Sky Sports expert Gary Neville for his weak punch which contributed to Clint Dempsey's last-gasp leveller. "From the moment I signed I considered myself the first-choice keeper at the club but it's down to the manager." David de Gea Quotes of the week The 22-year-old has made 22 appearances for the Red Devils this term and feels his form benefits when he is afforded more regular action with the side. "From the moment I signed I considered myself the first-choice keeper at the club but it's down to the manager," De Gea told the Daily Mirror. "He rotates us when he feels it's good for the team. But obviously I've played a few on the bounce now and that's positive. "For a goalkeeper it's always important to have consistency and to be playing regularly. It's good for confidence and morale." http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/8429827/
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel leaps to defence of under-fire David De Gea Peter Schmeichel has launched a passionate defence of under-fire David De Gea – claiming the Manchester United keeper is being let down by his defenders. De Gea has regularly come in for criticism since moving to Old Trafford in 2011 and his future has been called into question after he was widely accused of costing United victory against Tottenham on Sunday. Schmeichel, however, insists the 22-year-old is being unfairly singled out. “I think the criticism is unwarranted,” the former Red Devils number one told Hawksbee and Jacobs. “We do concede far too many goals but we need to look at where we are defending from. We have a tendency to drop far too deep. We are inside the box far too much and we should be outside the box. “Look at the goal we conceded in the Capital One Cup tie against Chelsea, in the 94th minute, and the two goals we conceded against West Ham in the FA Cup. "The Capital One Cup goal was a 50-yard pass into the box but our starting point was on the penalty box. So, whatever happens, if the ball is deflected or stays on the same line, which it did, you might end up giving the opposition a chance and it so happened that we ended up giving a penalty. “If we had been in the right position, a yard or two outside the box, at worst that would have been a free-kick outside the box. So, in the 94th minute, we would have been defending a free-kick outside the box rather than a penalty and I would take the odds on the free-kick outside the box. “Manchester United have always defended high but we are not doing that now. Again, look at the two goals that James Collins scored for West Ham in the FA Cup. “Joe Cole is unchallenged when he puts the ball in the box and it’s only just reaching the penalty spot but Collins gets a free run of two or three yards, so he gets momentum on his body, and everybody else is stood still in there. “The odds are that someone who is running towards the ball will win it and it only takes a touch on the ball to take it either side of the goalkeeper. But had we been in the right position further up, Collins would have had to head the ball from the 18-yard line and who is going to score with a header from the 18-yard line? No-one. This is my point. “We can all say De Gea should have punched the ball out for a corner, or further away against Tottenham, but in fact he did well just to punch the ball because he was so under pressure. The guy who got the ball was unmarked, [Clint] Dempsey was unmarked, and this all comes from defending too deep. “Gradually throughout the second half [against Tottenham] we dropped deeper and deeper and deeper, invited more balls to come in the box, and David de Gea actually had to make far too many saves, for my liking, to keep the team in the game. For me, that is what needs to be addressed, not what the goalkeeper is doing when he is punching balls.” http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-ne...ence-unde-1900
Interesting from schmeichel. That said to me it means de Gea needs to take more control of his area and scream at the players to push up. Ala schmeichel. He was forever shouting and screaming at everyone.
To me Sweats, De Gea reminds me a bit of Van Der sar, he's doesn't look like a keeper who likes to shout at his defenders i could be wrong on that, on Schmeichel, i rememeber he didn't get along with Roy Keane ( correct me if i'm wrong ).
MirrorFootball ‏@MirrorFootball Fergie on @tSKeysandGray's comments re Neville/De Gea: "I am not getting into that at all. You have to listen to some idiots in the game."
I met john motson.. he was a vile ignorant ****.. had a bottle of champagne to himself before the match refused to speak to anyone refused young kids having their photo with him.
I met Big Ron. He came into my mates pub. I was sat at the bar on my own my mate behind the bar asked him if he came here often I burst out laughing and said to ron i think he is chatting you up. He laughed bought us a drink and went and sat down. Andy Grey still drinks round here as his ex wife still lives here. seen him a few times and he is a nice chap.
Sir Alex calling "idiots" those who are criticizing Gea ...can't agree more http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/alex-ferguson-attacks-the-idiots-criticising-1554514
I met Stuart Hall. Came to our house when I was a kid as he was the 'face' of the double glazing we'd just had. I'm sure me Mum still has the polaroid picture of us outside, he autographed it. He did not bum me though.
