u trollin with this one.

from that angle, De Gea, like any goalkeeper, expected the header to go back to his right side. Any attempt to flick but not redirect much (like that header) is the harder, less likely route. You kinda have to guess where the redirection is going, and De Gea guessed wrong. He was frozen because all his weight was prepared to jump in the opposite direction.

one can debate whether or not that was a distance from which you needed to guess a side, but that's what it looks like to me. and i'm not a big De Gea fan, but a 22 year old holding down the starting spot at Man U is impressive.
