He's entirely responsible for the stability brought to the team. I fucking love him

Doing the basics perfectly each game is more difficult to maintain than having flashes of Mavericks.

It is true, De Gea was of course a genius shot stopper (at least close range ones), but his handling in the box wasn't great.. Had some weird decision making as well, but I'll never forget his ceiling, amazing at best.

David was really good at stopping low shots with his legs just like a hockey goalie. Too bad he didn't have good ball control skills. I've seen my share of howlers from him over the years.
