Lindelof is the weakest centre back on the planet.

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.

VDS won the UCL with Ajax at what age?
He is also the oldest player to win EPL .
Come up with a better excuse.
Anybody could have won the UCL with Ajax at that age. They had a very good team. De Gea outshines outfield players in his club - that’s the only difference.

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 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

You are a clown, mate.


Expert17:
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?
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.

Expert17:
I have played in different leagues as a GK, so when we talk goalkeeping, you should listen.
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?

Who’s VDS? What’s a VDS? grin cheesy

Why can't he do same for once with Pique and Ramos?

So you are saying the club must have been biased towards De Gea to give him 4 Matt Busby awards in 5 years - maybe you are right. Maybe De Gea has pörn videos of Woodward that he’s using to blackmail Ed.

So how come De Gea has also gotten more PFA team of the year placements than Van Der Sar ever did? Did De Gea also blackmail all his fellow professional players that voted him as the best GK in the league?

Confidence

Who dash DDG confidence?

You did not watch VDS, simple.
De Gea that won under17 trophy & 2 unde21 trophies for Spain doesn’t have any confidence.

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.

Some of you De Gea critics have never left your state but a teenage boy that did it has no confidence or positioning.

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.

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.

in short, you mean you prefer a goalie that will give you 10 out of 10 in one match, then 2 out of ten in another, to the one that will give you 9 out of 10 consistently?
De Gea didn’t win 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.

Just answer this question.

Mention anything(apart from saving with his feet) DDG can do better than VDS?
The only thing VDS does better than DDG is the commanding of his area.

De Gea beats him in every other aspect of goalkeeping. It’s not even close.

Expert17:
How many clean sheets has DDG kept against small team's this season? 45 apps full of errors.
Henderson won’t get 20 caps for England, never mind 45.


Expert17:
So why are you blaming Maguire and Lindelof?
Or Jones is better than them?
You cannot expect De Gea to be bailing them out all the time. De Gea has paid his dues at United, it’s about time the club starts giving him back his respect.

I remember when De Gea was the only world class player at the club. Winning the club’s player of the year awards almost every season. He never abandoned the club for the bigger clubs that time. He was loyal.

Even when LVG/Woodward wanted to sell him to Madrid and the fax machine got in the way of the deal, De Gea never kicked a fuss or downed tools. He never said nonsense to the media. He was loyal to the very end.

Now that he’s out of form, this shameless club wants him out for a rookie nobody rates outside UK. Rashford, Maguire, James, and the other British liabilities at the club are doing just fine - even with their pathetic performances year after year but De Gea who has always been loyal can get the chop.

If that doesn’t make your skin crawl, I don’t know what else to say. Man Utd have no class. That’s the moral of the story here.

Expert17:
And DDG led defence let us down in this same competition last year grin
Like I said, he cannot keep bailing this club out. He’s done it for almost 10 seasons. The club should get him quality defenders. The era of making 14 saves per game is well and truly over. Why should he kill himself for a club that is disloyal to him?


Expert17:
The GK that played the final or the GK that took you to the final...... Who is Important?
The final is the most important game. It’s the one that gets you the reward of winning the trophy. It’s the one that has the most pressure of any competition. 90 mins game between yourself and glory. Nothing tops that feeling.

leave this people, I was shocked when I saw people arguing that VDS was a better goalie than De gea lololololololololololol.

Only the Great Dane and Cech would claim to be better goalkeepers in the PL era than De gea.
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.

Expert17:
Should we compare the clean sheet Henderson and Degea has kept with this same defence this season?
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.

Expert17:
Why is Spain still looking for their no 1 GK? Why is Kepa getting to play some games ahead of Degea?
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.

Expert17:
Maybe Pique and Ramos are exposing DDG all the time......
This is ridiculous.



Expert17:
DDG won the clean sheet with Smalling and Bailly not Jones.
Bailly had 13 PL apps, Jones had 23 PL apps in 17/18. grin

Expert17:
Romero won Europa league and FA cup for us playing with anybody in front of him.
Europa league? Against the bottom feeder clubs of Europe? grin

Expert17:
DDG bottled all the tournament he played.
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.

Expert17:
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?
Sanchez was never on £500k/week. The add-ons were never activated. Those add-ons were performance related if he won the PL, UCL, etc

Besides, what has Martial won since Sanchez left? Nada.
Sanchez is about to win Serie A - it’s a shame on Martial.

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.
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.

Expert17:
Romero would have won the golden gloves at least 3 times if he was our first choice GK.
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.

Expert17:
DDG is not even known for keeping clean sheet, he is well behind Romero in this category.
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.

Expert17:
I was never in support of Lukaku's exit, but OLE was right to sell Sanchez and Young.
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?

Expert17:
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.
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.

Expert17:
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.
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.


Expert17:
FYI, our defence looks stronger and better with Henderson and Romero.
None of them won has the golden glove, De Gea has.

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.

So rumours about DDG's future gathering steam.

Apparently Henderson is starting tonight.
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.

The way Vardy and Iheanacho messed him up in that loss ehh..

One chance that Vardy missed, thank God he missed it though because scoring after the way he dribbled Maguire would have been very shameful to watch..
It would have been the goal of the season.

Vardy turned an £80m defender into a £8 defender with the way he cancelled Maguire in that action.

It was as if Maguire wasn’t there. It was so painful to see that a United defender could be made to eat artificial grass like that. cheesy
