yes VDS was a goodshot stopper but then most keeps are very good at that anyway. He never once spoke to the defence and as I said didn't have great command of the 6 yard box either. He relied too much on punching the ball and more than once punched it to the other team who then scored.
De Gea isn't that bad a shop stopper either but is found wanting in other areas much like VDS was too.
Lindegaard should be the number one now
