think the system is finding De Gea out because it demands a Sweeper Keeper and De Gea is simply a great shot stopper.
A keeper starting 15 yards further our reduces the time the striker has on the ball and less time to compose himself. But standing transfixed while the striker choses where to put it is what happened on 2 of those goals today. Not actually blaming him for any of the goals, but it is a weakness in his game.
De Gea never comes off his line it infuriates me!
Its like he is scared he will get a nose bleed if he does!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
he tried last week v qpr and himself and rojo facked it up almost resulting in a goal
in fairness to the lad he hasnt had a settled defensive back 4 in front of him for such a long time
He's bang out of form but it doesn't help when the jokers in front of him allow teams to cut through at will
You can't separate the keeper's form from the overall defence. Even the best keepers - and DeGea is a really good is a young keeper - get the yips if they can't trust the back 4 (or 3 or whatever). The defence is a unit.
I like DeGea, but in all fairness he looked a bit lost today, I think it'll be a good learning experience if he gets past it....perhaps a bit slow on reaction time as well. Everyone has the occasional "bad day at the office". No worries.
