What a mess of a goalkeeping situation. Not good enough to be number 1 at his last club, but probably our number 1 for the season.
 
He's absolute gash has cost us 1 if not 3 points today, fumbling crosses awful distribution and what the feck was he doing with that goal???? Honestly don't know what Van Gaal sees in him i'd rate him our 5th best keeper and thats only because i haven't seen the youngsters in action.
 
Get a grip. He has conceded one goal that was actually saveable in 6 games, and both today were after the defense completely switched off.

Do you think he's good enough to be our no. 1?

I don't think he will be. I wouldn't bet my house on it but I still think either we keep and play De Gea or we overpay at the last minute for a replacement.

We've spent so much money and still need to buy a striker and a centreback. How far can LVG convince the board in spending big when he's already done so and we're still barely in any better shape. The free signing of Romero is convenient for LVG.

We do. I think it's more likely we buy a keeper than either of those, though, personally.
 
Was only a matter of time until his luck ran out, didn't even need to play against a top team to look pure average.
 
Too early to tell.

Is it though? There's a lot of evidence throughout his career that he isn't a top class or reliable keeper. We aim to be a top European club and it isn't a good idea to give keepers who aren't good enough too much time to prove themselves.
 
He is a sub keeper. That's all he has ever been. DDG and Valdes in the stands for the last 2 weeks. It's a ridiculous state of affairs for which I totally blame LVG.
 
He makes me shit myself whenever someone passes the ball to him.
 
So we deliberately bought a dodgy keeper to sabotage our club. Brilliant logic.
No. LvG let this complete mess to happen after the crap with Valdes and the situation with DDG as well as not buying a #1 keeper.

Romero is crap and always has been throughout his career. He's been #2 in all clubs in his club career only now, at 28, he's #1 at United. And yes, he has cost us 3 points today.
 
The accident waiting to happen...

The GK situation we've got ourselves into is less then enviable
 
I suppose this is what happens when you sign the second choice GK of smaller clubs like Sampdoria and Monaco and use him as your first choice GK at one of the biggest clubs in the world....
 
this was always going to happen. never liked him. very very average keeper
 
Felt sorry for him. He had a poor game but the rest of the team were making mistake after mistake so he wasn't the only one out there having a shocking match.

Why are you so reluctant to admit that the general consensus that he's a bit rubbish is indeed true, and these opinions were actually based on watching him play rather than just a bunch of sheep toeing the line?
 
Most of us saw the writing on the wall as the signs were all there. Was just a matter of time. Simply not good enough to be our #1 keeper.

It can only get worse tho. This game didn't have one of his shocking mistakes, which he usually had in his last stint in Sampdoria.
 
Said this before. At least one stupid error every game. We got quite a few today and were punished.
 
Hate to state the obvious but the 2nd goal should never have happened. Absolutely poor. A keeper like de gea saves the first too fwiw.
 
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for the first goal. Shit marking, left hand side wide open, and Ayew heads it right into the ground, which makes it incredible difficult to anticipate. And we needlessly gave the ball away which led to the counter. Romero is a few places down the list of blame for that.

2nd goal, he steps away from the shot, dives back at it, and it rolls under him. It looked like he was reacting in slow motion. He does the same whenver the ball is played back to him. It's unbelievable how close he allows the opposition to get to him before clearing it.

De Gea with his head in Madrid is a better option. I hope he's back for the Liverpool game.
 
De gea could have gotten both those goals. Already dropping points bc of out failure to sort out the goalkeeper situation.
