'He's shit' been here half a season. Is young and will improve. I remember people saying roughly the same about De Gea The majority of football fans are thick as fuck like.

No shocks that he's improved after the strength work he was told to focus on. His shot stopping was clearly high level, the mistakes were just nervousness. He's hardly the biggest now . He was clearly a class act IMO, pundits/fans writing him off was ridiculous Shot stopping isn't everything. Read the comments made by their coach at the time. He was, rightly, being targeted because he could not dominate his area. A lot of his 'mistakes' came from this extra attention. I can't remember too many writing him off either. Rightly, most people said he needed to improve physically. He's done that now, and looks top class across the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like something like that couldn't be worked on in time, and like you say he's still not the biggest, just more confident. Best keeper in the league imo, think he's excellent.

Guest icemanblue Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/28/david-de-gea-manchester-united Yet Steele, an almost paternal figure for De Gea, openly admits the goalkeeper has had considerable issues at Old Trafford. "His first six months were horrendous," he says. "One issue with him was that he was just 71 kilos. We worked with him on and off the field to make him more powerful. We changed his lifestyle. He would finish training and want to go home. When I told him to come back in the afternoon he'd ask: 'Why?' "There were lifestyle issues. He'd sleep two or three times a day. He'd have his main meal late at night. He'd eat too many tacos. We pushed protein drinks on him straight after training. We physically made him drink. We had him in the gym a lot. He hated it. They don't do the gym in Spain as much. We needed to build his core strength." You lads would know better, though, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 To say he's better now because he bulked up is reductionist and untrue. He's hardly ripped now. It was an easy stick to beat him with at the time. He's improved as he's grown used to the league and is less nervous #reductionist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Core strength is completely different than packing on the muscles. Some of our players are muscular but lack the attributes associated with high core strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 On the contrary, these days there is a clear reluctance to push players towards building upper body muscles because it results in more weight and less pace. There is more emphasis placed on abdominal, back and leg muscles because these are bigger factors in succeeding. So it's baffling when I see players like Williamson having big biceps, which results in him being slower than before. Our conditioning team don't seem to know what they're doing. Same with Ben arfa whose biceps are bigger, Obertan likewise, Cabaye too and Tiote as well. It's old fashioned and out of date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If footballers are doing any dedicated arm training you would have to say they're wasting their time completely. If they have bigger arms as a result of full-body exercises then fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I mean, Cabaye gets pushed off the ball everytime he's challenged so what's the point of jacking up his upper body. Better to focus on him being lean and quicker so he's able to escape instead of having to compete physically. Same with Tiote, who's too slow to get close to other midfielders. Better him being leaner and quicker so he can cover more space and escape from pressure when he has the ball. Being slow today is a death sentence and yet we have players today who are slower than when they first joined us, just incomprehensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also naturally very wide and barrel-chested. I don't think his size is entirely down to strength training, he's just a big lump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
