Fair enough, ranking players, especially goalkeepers is a very subjective matter, as stats don't always accurately reflect it! I will say though, I don't think there is another keeper in the league I'd have over DDG - regardless of who is currently better.

I won't disagree with that comment Jay. I've given De Gea a lot of stick in the past. But fair play, you can really tell he's worked at his keeping.
I just don't understand why Shezzer isn't putting in the effort, like De Gea. Or maybe he is and is just not as talented.

I really don't get what people wanted him to do for Dortmund's first goal. He did what was suppose to do, jump forward arms spread wide, one leg straight one leg bent. The guy was in the middle of the area one on one, there is only so much of the goal you can cover.

This is NOT what a GK should do when shot comes in from inside the box.
Splaying is for 1 on 1s only. It was not a 1v1.
He shouldve reacted and then dived.
It was a 1v1, there was no arsenal player between the ball and Woj, if he stays on his line the player puts it in he corner. He has to rush out and close the angle. If he waits for the player to hit it before he dives then its already past him.
Too far to splay, shot was from the edge of the box.
Regardless of whether there was no one in between the shooter and the GK, 1v1 is different.

You won't see many keepers splaying in such a situation when a shot is taken from the edge of the area simply because it is not the right thing to do.
There was time for him to dive low.
