De Gea

Imagine watching last night (or any game for that matter) just hoping one player £#%&!s up, just so you could repeatedly post that he’s £#%&!ed up on the internet

Imagine thinking that’s what happened

I’m no de gea fan but there was nothing he could do about those goals

I reckon i’m ultra fussy but I think he should be having Gakpos for a start.

which one? for the first one, martinez ran across him.

the fact is that three of their goals came from multiple deflections that just fell right for the shot. the second one especially. liverpool will never have that much luck in a game again. not to say we weren't hapless, but blaming the keeper is just silly.

the initial problem came from dalot wandering into midfield and fred being absolutely clueless about where gakpo was.

Didn't cost us tonight, but seems like every game he makes a huge error with his distribution.

We need a striker, a central midfielder to play alongside Cas, and a goalkeeper. I'm tempted to say the latter is the most pressing if you-know-who is brought back into the fold.

He just doesn't inspire confidence with the ball at his feet, or when defending set-pieces. Far too much of a liability as we try to get to the next level.

Sick of this @#%&!. Said after the Arsenal game he was holding us back, and a few admittedly decent performances and good saves haven’t changed that.

If there’s an obvious simple pass, he’s ok, but any slightly difficult ball and he panics and just gets rid. That £#%&! up in the first half - it’s genuinely looked like he was trying to pass it to the Betis player.

He’s improved, he’s trying, he has his strengths, but he simply isn’t good enough and not suitable to a ETH team.

We need a proper goalkeeper who can command his area and distribute the ball with confidence. The minute De Gea receives the ball you see the £#%&!ing mild panic descend on his face.

For me, Liverpool's goalkeeper is the best in the league because he a big imposing bastard, gets out snuff out any trouble quickly and he can stick the ball anywhere across the front line with accuracy.

We have to move on now. Get a keeper in who can use his feet comfortably. I'm astounded Dave still can't. Who the £#%&! coaches him?

He needs replacing in the summer

Just not good enough at the things we need from a gk to take us to the next level.

That’s the one.

He’s a good keeper. He’s just not the type of keeper we need.

This. You look at Alison and there’s nothing outstanding about him. He’s just a big presence who is decent on the ball.

He’d be magnificent for a mid-table side but his deficiencies are definitely exposed with the way we’re trying to play. By no means do I think he’s terrible, he’s just not what we need long term if I’m totally honest.

Keepers make mistakes, they all do, it's an unforgiving position. As long as the mistakes aren't constantly repeated/happening every week, it's fine. But only if they're doing everything else to a high standard. That's what you need.

Every keeper will miscontrol or miskick the occasional one, or misjudge a cross, or even let a soft one by from time to time, but when their very presence sets the whole team back, you've got a major problem.

Absolutely horrific first half

Lucky that his £#%&! ups against Barca and tonight haven’t lead to a goal

If he’s given a new contract then we’re not serious about getting back to the top

Has to go

That’s a myth
He’s not a good keeper anymore
In fact statistically he’s below average in the PL in nearly every category

It’s a lot more than his really shit distribution that’s an issue

Alison by contrast is really high up in these statistical categories

Dave should have been moved on 4 years ago

Exactly this.
