De Gea has one clean sheet in 20, does that make him terrible?
Football is no longer about clean sheet, look around the leagues and you’ll see that.
This lad takes far too much stick and it’s absokutely ridiculous. Just because folk don’t like him playing short (although his distribution is very good) and his name isn’t Ben Foster.
I don’t see anyone moaning at how good his pass was to Furlong for our second yesterday.
Yes his error for the second goal, and that was poor; but he must seriously hate playing at our place due to some of the Albion lot he has behind him.
Firstly you are mentioning De Gea and Johnstone together .....whereas I wouldn't
Secondly , I don't blame him at all for playing out short from the back, that will be deliberate tactical directions
Flapping at crosses, droppingballs, not moving when someone strikes etc etc....that's where I get annoyed......
But of course we can blame the bloke in the rainbow that threw the ball back too fast 20 mins before the second goal.....
The point is , he isn't very good, he scares the defenders , Livermore had a right go at him yesterday, Gibbs the other week , countless players last season
I'll say agin, I don't know him, I don't hate him, I don't care he played for the bin dippers , I don't give a flying f&&& that he is a nice bloke ........people can keep sticking up for him but what you see can't lie, he doesn't command his area and he gets beat/makes too many gaffs
I didn't ironically cheer yesterday when he finally realised he wasn't glued to his line....but I really understand why so many did....it wasn't 1 or 2 ....it was hundreds , do we think they are all wrong?
