Blaming him for the goal even..

Disaster waiting to happen.
His concentration levels are awful.
We need this De Gea situation sorted asap.

Makes me so nervy
Long term he is not the answer and I think van Gaal knows that. From what I have seen of him so far he is solid enough but unspectacular.
His positioning for the goal we conceded tonight definitely has to be questioned, there was a huge gap left there and Club Brugge capitalised on that albeit with a hint of good fortune.

I'm very, very worried that he'll be Van Gaal's first choice keeper if De Gea goes, until January at least. He's extremely dodgy. What the feck was he doing today when Darmian passed it back?
If De Gea goes even this week, it's too late. We won't find a good replacement with less than 2 weeks til the window shuts, and be stuck with this guy in net. It's so important for our season that we keep De Gea.

Did anyone else notice De Gea and Valdes giggling and chatting amongst themselves after Romero stalled when Darmian passed it back. Found it quite annoying actually.
I've been happy with him so far. I don't blame him for the goal. The only dodgy point was when he waited too long to boot it out and got fouled. Some of you are a bit OTT with the criticism.
Yeh I noticed that, it probably was completely unrelated but just gave me a bad feeling.
Hopefully that was the wake-up call he needed to stop his dithering. Other than that, quite hard to judge his performance. I think he did alright.
He did okay. One shaky moment.
He does in general take an age to kick the ball as an opposing forward closes him down. Makes me nervous every time.

We can go overboard both with criticising and defending him. Can't we just agree that he's an okay keeper but no world-beater? It's hard after watching DDG, but we've survived with worse.
Suspect positioning and reflexes on the goal and lack of anticipation on the Darmian backpass that should have led to a second for Brugge, but he's only ever supposed to be a #2 so long term it's hopefully not an issue.
I'm not convinced he's good enough to be second choice, personally.
Really? I'd argue he was well positioned given where the danger was expected to come from, i.e. not Michael Carrick!
He was at no fault for the goal.
The backpass hesitancy was poor though. Could've cost us.

His positioning was fine for the goal and the double deflection made it almost impossible to stop.
Exactly, even world class keepers can get done in a situation like that. Do people on this board not realise that it's quite hard to shift momentum from side to side that quickly?
Yeah he was positioned to where the ball was played, had it covered perfectly. 2 deflections' so 100% not at fault for the goal, but some on here only post when they have something to complain about, even if they have to make shit up....
Pass back aside he was fine! Owen blaming him for the goal was laughable!
He was ok bar his odd decision making from the back pass from Darmian. He certainly doesn't instil any confidence in me though and he's obviously a massive downgrade on DDG.
I don't know enough about him to judge in the longer term but feck, he's making me nervous at the moment.
I wish he just wouldn't dally on the ball so much when it's at his feet.

He got blamed for Carrick school boy mistake which is understandable since the English media and fans tend to love wanking at their own players
Cheers devilish, you're so much more intelligent than all the English fans who love the English players. Look how much this English forum hypes up Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones as further proof of this.
I hope he's not our Keeper all season. The way he was slow to react to the back pass was scary. If it's the premier league, they wouldn't have blow for that incident and those guys would have equalize.

There's nothing wrong in loving players. The trouble begins when you hype them and close an eye to their mistakes. That certainly doesn't help them. Just take the Italian side. Players are criticised throughout their career and criticism hasn't spare the legends either (Del Piero, Cannavaro, Baggio and Totti had all being criticised at one point of their career). Guess what, Italy won 4 WC titles, the last two came just after 2 major football scandals which placed every one under question and forced the players to prove themselves. What had England achieved with their white Pele, the new Duncan Edwards, Captain Fantastic, Mr Chelsea and the HurryKane? You know the answer.
Ironically the only Italian player I can think off who avoided criticism, at least in his early stages of his career was.......Balotelli. As they say spare the rod...
Michael Owen made a right wanker of himself last night.
You sense that any goal we concede is going to be blamed on Romero regardless of the circumstances. The goal was a freak, and his positioning was fine.

Was he the same guy who kept wanking at Carrick's pass while nearly ignoring Depay's wonder goal?
And ignoring Shaw's run and just going on about Rooney's flick to Memphis.
Terrified he's going to cost us soon. I was supporting him on here but concentration as a goalkeeper is paramount and he simply does not have it. He's way too relaxed, even his passing to me looks lackadaisical in style. VDS used to say it was even more important as a United keeper as you've often have nothing to do for long periods.
If de gea goes navas will be our first choice keeper
Needs to stop smoking a massive joint before coming out to play professional football.
I don't agree that it wasnt the keepers fault. Freak deflection but he left far too much of his near post open - and it took him an age to get down to the ball.
Looks lethargic, and frankly that isnt going to inspire confidence in the players in front. That's the key issue for a keeper for me. If the centre-backs can rely on him the defence overall looks much more solid.
But imho he was a bit slow to react.
You cant blame him for that goal but i have a feeling a better keeper would have saved that.
I thought the the ball in back pass got held up somehow. It seemed good weght, then just freakishly turned into a slug.
Not really tested tbh apart from Michael. He does some good things, other times he will be the death of me. Worry when he actually comes up against a team that is actually good. Swansea might be a watch from behind the sofa game.
I wouldn't be too worried about the back pass incident in fact I'd nearly look at it in a positive light. He got himself into a rut and the type of a rut that's liable to happen the best in the business, but he managed to get himself out of it just as fast as he got into it, and for me that's the main thing.
