The way he gets bullied is just too painful to watch. How Bailly continues to be ignored for this Swedish lesbīan is nothing short of poor managerial acumen.

Anybody could have won the UCL with Ajax at that age. They had a very good team.
Anybody could have played well with relegation club - Fulham, and end up becoming the no 1 at old traford at 30+

When VDS was winning PFA team placement, there were at least 2 or 3 United defenders also in it & that tells you he was well protected. De Gea was winning PFA team slots in teams that finished 6th with defenders that aren’t up to standards.
VDS was competing with Cech.

DDG was competing with Kepa, Ederson, Leno, grin grin



VDS had 3 PFA slots, De Gea has had 5. They have both spent the same number of years in England(if you include VDS’ spell at Fulham). How come De Gea outperformed VDS that had the best centre halves in Europe as cover for more than 5 years? cheesy
Bruno has 4 EPL player of the month, he is better than Paul scholes and Ronaldo cheesy cheesy grin

You are a clown, mate.



You said he had no confidence. I didn’t say that made him better than VDS. I was shooting at your lack of confidence angle.
A GK with confidence will never be scared of aerial duels.
A GK with confidence won't be scared to leave his lines.
A gk with confidence will talk/control his defence.

Confidence of leaving your country at 19 is different from GK confidence cheesy grin grin grin cheesy


You should go back and get more training on what a quality goalkeeper should be. De Gea won BBC’s save of the season awards in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018 behind the worst defenders in the league and you are comparing him to VDS?
Giroud scored the goal of the season like 1-2 times, so he is better than Aguero.
grin grin



Pique & Ramos that were in the twilight of their career by the time De Gea started keeping for Spain? cheesy
The school boy errors Degea made against Portugal was due to Pique and Ramos lost of form. cheesy cheesy

De Gea that won under17 trophy & 2 unde21 trophies for Spain doesn’t have any confidence.
VDS won the UCL with Ajax at what age?

He is also the oldest player to win EPL .

Come up with a better excuse.

Left the comfort of his country at 19 to come and swim with the sharks in the toughest league in the world and that’s not confidence.
How does this makes him better than VDS?

I also started playing for Niger Tornadoes in my 100 level second semester, (you know how rough and tough NPL is) so what's your point again?

Some of you De Gea critics havebeener left your state but a teenage boy that did it has no confidence or positioning.
I have played in different leagues as a GK, so when we talk goalkeeping, you should listen.

De Gea that was once regarded as the best goalkeeper in the world despite playing for one of the worst defence units in Europe. Don’t make me laugh.
Why can't he do same for once with Pique and Ramos?

He’s better than VDS in all these aspects. The only thing DDG doesn’t do at all is coming for crosses and that has to do with his fear of being clattered. It’s a flaw but he covers it well with his cat instincts.
DDG is better than VDS in all attributes listed below?

Hand-eye coordination
Aerial balls
Set- pieces (PK )
Ball distribution
Agility
Positioning
Leadership
Awareness
Confidence
Sweeper

No fall my hand na.

Who dash DDG confidence?

De Gea didn’t 4 Man Utd player of the year awards to be compared to a bum like Dean Henderson.

FYI, no other Man Utd player in their 100+ years history have won more club awards than De Gea. He’s won the award more than world class players like Ronaldo, Ruud, Rooney, Keane, etc .

If De Gea was British, he would have a statue outside Old Trafford. This sudden disrespect of one of the best players at this club is shameful.
So if DDG played with Keane, Ronaldo, Ruud, Beckham etc, ....he will still win 4 Man utd player of the season?

Why can't he win a single MOTM for Spain in tournaments?

The only thing VDS does better than DDG is the commanding of his area.

It’s nostalgia - people tend to rate what happened in the past over what they see now.

Besides, the wall to wall reporting of football games these days, social media, etc also heighten the flaws of today’s players. Something that was barely existing in VDS days.

As a goalkeeper, I have never seen any United GK do what De Gea did against Arsenal at the Emirates in 17/18 or at Spurs in 18/19. It’s the best performance from a GK I have ever been privileged to see.

VDS was never at that top level. Never ever.
Just answer this question.

Mention anything(apart from saving with his feet) DDG can do better than VDS?

It’s incomparable because Henderson only gets to play against bottom tier teams while De Gea is rested for the big boys. Of course, the stats are skewed.
How many clean sheets has DDG kept against small team's this season?

Exactly - De Gea has 45 caps for Spain at 29. Henderson is 24 years of age and has only 1 cap for Spain. There’s a reason for that.
45 apps full of errors.


This is ridiculous.
Why?

Bailly had 13 PL apps, Jones had 23 PL apps in 17/18. grin
So why are you blaming Maguire and Lindelof?

Or Jones is better than them?


Europa league? Against the bottom feeder clubs of Europe? grin
Bottom feeder clubs? grin grin

And DDG led defence let us down in this same competition last year grin


De Gea was the FA cup final goalie against Palace in 2015/16, league cup final goalie against Southampton in 16/17, he won both cups with class.
The GK that played the final or the GK that took you to the final...... Who is Important?

De Gea isn’t worse with age. There’s no proof of that. The defence in front of him is totally useless. Why do we blame Maguire, Lindelof all the time? It’s because they expose De Gea all the time.
Should we compare the clean sheet Henderson and Degea has kept with this same defence this season?

Why is Spain still looking for their no 1 GK? Why is Kepa getting to play some games ahead of Degea?

Maybe Pique and Ramos are exposing DDG all the time......


There’s no proof of that. We cannot dwell on shoulda coulda woulda. I would put my money on a GK that did it with Smalling & Jones over someone who hasn’t done it before.
DDG won the clean sheet with Smalling and Bailly not Jones.

Romero won Europa league and FA cup for us playing with anybody in front of him.

DDG bottled all the tournament he played.

Maybe you are right, maybe you aren’t. We don’t know & there’s no proof that Sergio would have won 3 golden glove awards by now.

OLE wasn’t right to sell Sanchez & Young cos their replacements have won nothing. They aren’t even good enough to play in a cup final so how is OLE right?
You want OLE to keep a player who is on 500K a week and can't even give us 10+ goals and assists in a season?

The shelf life of a goalkeeper is different from outfield players. You are an expert - you should know this without having me to point it out to you.

Van Der Sar joined United when he was 35 years of age. De Gea is only 30 - he’s got about 5-8 years left in him as a professional footballer.

Like I have said - GKs get better and better with age. The older they are, the more experience and the better output. Stop comparing them with outfield players.
cry
Degea is getting worst with age, what has DDG experience done to our defence?
-he can't coordinate his defence....
-he lacks confidence that do comes with age
-Henderson is even a better leader at the back.
-for the last time, don't mention DDG and VDS in the same sentence.

None of them won has the golden glove, De Gea has.
Romero would have won the golden gloves at least 3 times if he was our first choice GK.

DDG is not even known for keeping clean sheet, he is well behind Romero in this category.


This was how y’all used same narrative to push out Lukaku, Sanchez, Young, etc - they are on their way to win a league title in Italy while United are stuck in mediocrity since 2013.

And we are supposed to believe those players don’t fit Ole’s style - the failure style that hasn’t even managed to play in a cup final in almost 3 years.
I was never in support of Lukaku's exit, but OLE was right to sell Sanchez and Young.

Mediocre Henderson - had one above average season at Sheffield United and he suddenly thinks he’s world class.

Nobody rates him outside of England. I am not even sure Henderson is better than Romero that Ole has made redundant.

Every big decision this club has made in the last 3 years has been the wrong one.
What has DDG done since 2018?

So you want the club to keep a 29 years old GK who is on 375K a week and makes silly errors? He can't even get into Spain team any longer.

You want the club to sign players like Man city but you don't want to the club to sell/release players (Aguero, Toure, Silva etc) like them.

FYI, our defence looks stronger and better with Henderson and Romero.
