You shouldn't need a goalkeeping coach to make that save.Time to bring back the goalkeeping coach who really improved DeGea's game.

His dip in form coincided with that coach leaving. Figure it out.You shouldn't need a goalkeeping coach to make that save.
I would argue it's preceded thatHis dip in form coincided with that coach leaving. Figure it out.
If De Gea goes there is no question for me - Henderson should be given a chance.The question though is do we bring Henderson in or buy a keeper. Maybe Pope?
I wouldnt have a problem with that but i do feel he has similar qualities and problems as de gea. I feel he is a good shot stopper but does not particularly command his area and is prone to the odd howler, as is any keeper to be fair.If De Gea goes there is no question for me - Henderson should be given a chance.
I think DeGea - like many players - has trouble getting his mental focus sometimes. It's not like he suddenly forgot how to play in goal, there's something in his game mentality that is lacking. I think he had a great friendship with that coach too, and when he left I think it really affected him, and then the dip occurred. For me that's QED.I would argue it's preceded that
It was really bad. I switched off at 3-0. We didn't have a midfield today. Bruno played like he just ran a marathon. Matic was slow, Williams made a costly error, our defenders napped, it was a bad day at the office. Worse, the players didn't even look like a team today but resembled a bunch of strangers. Ole made changes around 57th minute but it wasn't enough. We need a good transfer window because we have a bunch of players who are mid-table level.didnt see any this one as I spent the day driving to North Wales, no bad thing by the sounds of it. I guess we need a game like this to remind us we still need a good transfer window.
Bit harsh. We comfortably beat Chelsea in the league with pretty much the same line up and formation. It just didn’t work out on the day because Chelsea executed their plans far better but it was still individual errors that cost us in the end.I feel sorry for the players; Ole was the architect of this shambles.

Pros can't play this many games this close together, especially a style that needs high pressing and aggressive running. In my 30s I played on a men's 11v11 team on Tuesdays, an "over 30" 11v11 men's team on Thursdays, and a co-ed 7v7 team on Sundays. I could barely walk. I had to stretch just to get out of bed and ended up having to get physical therapy for compressed lower back. Outside of the games I was hobbling everywhere, limping, just a painful wreck.Bit harsh.

Yeah sure Ole could have done things different but not every game is going to be rosy. We still don’t have an amazing squad so when we bring in our second choice players there is going to be a drop off in quality. Also our better players also had an off day.

Press almost any team long enough and they fall apart. Barcelona might be the exception. Has Ole said why he didn't start Romero? It seemed an odd decision at the time, and after the fact it looks catastrophic. Both CBs were bad, maybe they just don't complement each other's style. I don't think Bailly is an upgrade on either one of them. Bailly is totally brainless. I'd rather have Lindelof in there because at least you know he's not going to do something insane and either get a red card or concede a silly penalty. Lindelof had help giving away that first goal, I think Maguire was way out of position and Lindelof was caught trying to cover for him and then got caught in the wrong place.We were absolutely awful from start to finish.
Daniel James is a completely out of his depth at this level and needs to be sold back to the Championship as that is clearly his standard. He's possibly the worst player we have at the minute, and that is saying something.
DDG. That's one embarrassing mistake too many for me. He should be dropped for the remaining 2 games and for the foreseeable future until he can sort his schoolboy errors out. No wonder our defense looks shaky, I'd have zero confidence in him behind me either. His distribution is appalling as well. What does DDG offer any more that Romero doesn't? There ISN'T any competition for him which I think this is why he is so away with the fairies! If every time he got dropped and Romero came in until he then made a clanger then maybe DDG might just step up, like Luke Shaw had to. I'm sure Ole will come out and back him again and this is exactly the issue.
Lindelof needs to learn what the words 'goal side' means. That's two games running he's been the wrong side of the forward and we have conceded.
Maguire - was he concussed as he certainly played like he was?
AWB - Is this the same guy that we say pre lock down? He has spiraled from bad to worse.
We have 2 games to go, 2 game to secure the European football we've all been craving, the European football that I'm pretty sure Sancho will sign for us if we get. I'm nervous as hell as we seem to have got progressively worse in 3 games. Southamptopn we were poor, Palace even poorer, and Chelsea just bloody abysmal! The end of the season now can't come quick enough.
Where did that scintillating, free flowing football go? To me it looks like we've been worked out. Press United and they will fall apart, we can't get it out our own third to the p;layers that matter at them minute.
