Romero is a terrific 'keeper, but De Gea is better ....................... it's that simple.
DDG has certainly saved far more points for United than he's gifted to opponents.
 
When does off form become the norm? DG is in danger of doing a Joe Hart. He was superb for 2-3 years but right now he is a liability. They must not think much of the number 2 if he can't get a game still.

De Gea was fantastic for 6 years, comfortably the best in the league and in the top 3 in the world. Not '2-3 years'

Not really a fair comparison with Joe Hart, who was never good enough to tighten DDGs gloves. Joe Hart was heavily protected for a number of seasons - if he had started at a mid/low table club he would never have made it upwards - got lucky with timing at City and England. He just got found out eventually.

But yes, DDG seems to have gone from a loss of form to terminal decline now
 
Should be out of sight here, Lacazette got to do better with his 2 chances but Kasper been superb for Leicester
Thought he did well with the first one, but should have buried the second.
Still not entirely sure what was wrong with the Leicester goal. Kolasinac bought it for me... was there var? Seemed worthy of a look, but I didn't see it again.

I mentioned Hart as he is an example of someone who's form dropped off a cliff. DG has always been better than Hart but I think you have done him a slight disservice. Hart was a good keeper for a decent period, watching him now is not a comfortable watch.

I didn't try to work out the DG timescale, 2-3 years sounded about right but if you say 6 I wouldn't argue. At the moment though I don't see a top 7 or 8 team that would take DG, his curve is definitely going downwards.
 
Some good some bad again, expect thats all we can hope for at the moment

Played some lovely stuff in the first half and shouldve been out of sight then an individual error yet again puts us under pressure and end up lucky to hang on with 10 men in the end
 
Luckily they have a better keeper available in Henderson

My god DDG is an awful keeper

I'm not sure if you genuinely mean this or it's tongue in cheek?

De Gea has been a world class keeper for the best part of a decade. A poor run of form and he's now awful? Just as well you're not a scout :LOL:

He was close to a world class keeper but has been in decline for 3 seasons

He prob isn't even in the top 4 in the league these days ..
 
name 4 better than him?

Ederson
Allison
Kasper
Henderson
Lloris


Leno is borderline he is starting to look more and more solid
Wolves keeper another good solid keeper
Foster is an excellent keeper

All of them right now better than de gea in his current state

If he gets his form back then could go back to top 4 but they are stronger than they were before

I agree with Ederson And Becker But the others are nowhere near DDG level.

DDG has had an indifferent 18months but his previous years have proved he’s a top keeper and miles ahead of the others up you’ve mentioned.

Lloris has been shocking for 2 seasons or more, Kasper isn’t good enough to fasten DDG gloves And Henderson has played 31 PL games, yes he looks the part but he still needs to prove he’s better than DDG.

i think your overreacting on DDG tbh.
