Evans isn't young though, he's just really ****. Smalling can have the young excuse, Evans can't. De Gea is in a similar boat to Szczesny, but not dealing with it nearly as well.

Sorry cannot take any criticism from a gooner about CB's when their squad contains Squillaci.
 
Boys boys, don't feed the troll.

Typical gooner, the lower their own team fall the more they feel the need to try and take shots at the teams above them. And 15 points is a looooooong way to fall. I take it as a compliment - it shows how much better than them we are.

Watch him try and respond with some BS about the CL now!
 
i know ignore them, by this time next season i expect de gea to be the best keeper in the world

I wouldn't go that far! Most keepers don't really develop until they are around 23, so I think it'll be a while for him.

Tho to be fair, having seen replays of the goals from yesterday he was far from the only one to blame. For the first goal neither of the centre backs talked to him at all. Smalling or Evans should just have told him to ignore the players and focus on the ball - they were all too preoccupied with what the Liverpool players on the keeper were doing, and Carrick should have done a much better job against Agger. And for the second goal Smalling's positioning was woeful - he dropped right out of the line when he should have been tight to Bellamy and thus playing Kuyt offside.

Still, these are the kind of things that will happen when you have such an unsettled back line. As Szcesny, Koscielny and Mertesacker have shown at Arsenal, even the dodgiest defenders can build a decent foundation when they can play together for 10-15 games in a row. Whereas yesterday was the first time De Gea, Evans and Smalling have ever played together as GK and CBs. And Evans and Smalling are hardly the most complementary pair of CBs around!
 
I don't think it's a concentration thing, it's more of a confidence / composure thing. He's fine when he has to react on instinct and doesn't have much thinking time, but when it comes to things like corners and long shots he seems to dwell on them too much. For the first Liverpool goal he was too focused on what Carroll was doing rather than going for the ball. He didn't even get off the ground - all he needed to do was stand up straight and the ball would have hit him in the face!

I've been in the same situation as a goalkeeper and it's not pleasant - everything just seems to go wrong cos you're over thinking rather than reacting. Hopefully he'll shrug it off over time as he gets older, but I do worry that the more mistakes he makes the more he will have to dwell on.


Do you not think he was left exposed t'other day left to deal with Carroll on his own? You miss Vidic and Rio in this respect, they'd protect him more


P.S. never mind, read top of page, already discussed.

Can you think of any keeper that ever held that title even at 23?

Real's keeper was brilliant at that age Iker Casillas, even at 21 but not the best in the world
 
agree, but sure Gea can't be best in world in one year, but why not? if we get our best CBs back, but tbh even next year at 22, that is still too young for a GK, fortunately for him he has come to a different league & football style, that will add different experience to his pack of skills

You're a delusional idiot, you can't speak properly, so therefore your opinion counts for jack-****.
 
I'll support De Gayer no problem - I have some goalie kit my 9 yr old lad has outgrown - he's welcome to them.

Not sure they'll make him any the wiser on crosses though!

hahahahahaha Amazing, what wit and humour you possess, I would say you are wearing the strip now as we speak, tormenting little kids on Facebook and other kid like sites like Club Penguin.... Now go scuttle back to you pathetic scummypool board where you rejoice in supporting racism, as to be frank you have the mentalitly of a cabbage.
 
its been a long time since I was shooting down pre-pubescent Gooner, Chelski and Liverpool KKK FC fans on 606 .... After reading the drivel of these idiotic supportes constantly ganging up on utd fans, I thought it was time for me to come on here and as the great man chuck dee once said "fight the power that be"

Joe Hart,age 23 been playing in EPL for 3 years, nuff said!
 
Age 24, been playing in EPL for five years. Other than that, good point <ok>



We only remember fkups that lead to goals, rarely otherwise do we remember.

Hart made a noob booboo earlier this season, he will again. Hart is a different type of player though, a mouth and possibly a leader, De Gea is neither

We all knew keeper position would be tentative for UNited this season after the huge hold left by vDS

Auld craig b found it quite easy to beat hart, sending him totally the wrong way for the offside goal


De Gea went from comfort zone to seriously high pressure literally in one game, handy in his last game for his previous club to screw turning premier league football for the league champions, big fkn change, Hart's been at City a while, send him to Real next season and see how it goes, then we can compare

This <ok>

Also, a lot of Hart's strong performances in recent seasons have been thanks to Kompany and Lescot doing the the business in front of him. Much like VDS with Rio and Vidic, Reina with Carragher and Hypia/Agger or Cech with Terry and Carvalho. In fact it's quite noticeable how Cech's form has declined since Carvalho left, tho the fractured skull probably also played a role.

I'm still reserving judgement on De Gea until he gets a chance to play in front of a settled and experienced CB partnership for five or six games in a row.
 
This thread is the best thing I've read on this forum <laugh>

There's some fcking pearlers of idiocy on here. Self proclaimed so-called experts lmao looking very much like complete baffoons.... then and now.
