He was wank for the second goal but we should never allow Bony (and Ayew for the first goal) to get into these positions.

Lindegaard is twice the keeper and he doesn't get a look in. It's baffling how we've ended up with Romero, De Gea drama or not.
This might seem a tad knee jerk, but any pro keeper should have saved the second goal and The Snake would probably have stopped the first one as well.
Not good enough. Never has been. Genuinely think he's the fourth best keeper at United.
at least this is 2 days before the end of the window, not 2 days after.
but that second goal was the first time everyone's fears came to light.
a near post pee roller.
very reminiscent game to last year, nothing in the game, and an almost freak goal winning them it

Only positive is that it may force our hand to keep De Gea for an extra year.
If nothing else this will make Van Gaal insist De Gea stays or we'll be signing another keeper tomorrow.
I've praised him so far but it's evident he's probably not a United keeper. His kicking is poor and he just looks a slightly dodgy keeper. And at the end of the day, this was coming. Yes, de gea could also have made a mistake in these first 4 games as he's shown in the past, but Romero doesn't quite look like the keeper to rely on long-term.
If he stands still for the second he stops it. The standing swan dive over the ball was the equivalent of "it was easier to score" chances like Hernandez's during the week.
i know, ive seen those mistakes and im worried everytime he has the ball at his feet. he actually dived over the ball for the second goal.
I genuinely think our attack suffers from having him in goal.
I mean a whole unit cannot attack with a peace of mind when there is a goalkeeper like him;especially woth all the passbacks and passforwards we get up to.
Put de gea back & im sure we will attack with a greater force.

come up against proper team and he's exposed.
Said this from day one but was called a negative moaner when it's obvious.
It's the premier league, you can't sign UC Sampdoria's number two and expect it to all just work out.

Agreed.
Not many people want Cillessen but after today I'd imagine people would be happy with the middle-aged Brad Friedel if it meant not playing Romero.
Cillesen isn't much better.
This is just who he is, poor agility and reflexes are part of the problem with him.
You don't know that. De Gea has made miracle saves and this could have been one of them. Most goalkeepers wouldnt have stopped that first one so blaming Romero for that one (i blame Rooney for it) isnt really fair but we all know de Gea is capable of saving certain goals.
His long kicks were dire today. But then again we have no one that is going to win the ball up front anyway.
He was so slow getting to the ground on that goal.

Honeymoon period is over for him.
We really need to keep De Gea or break a record fee for a goalkeeper tomorrow.

I can only have admiration for anyone trying to stick up for him. He would be a fine backup, maybe. But as a first choice, not a fecking chance. He lost his place at Sampdoria and couldn't get a game at Monaco. He hasn't played much club football over the past few years and I can see why. He's just not very good.
Because I don't think he is. He is merely a scapegoat for a general nervyness we have about how our squad is performing.
I'd be happier with Lindegaard and I do not rate Lindegaard at all. I think Romero's got away with kicking errors in every game so far and we've also seen a few instances of some bizarre feet first charges from the line. Add in the second goal today and the picture's not good.
Yea he's not going to be good enough. I don't even know what he's trying to do with the second goal it's not even a hard shot and it rolls right past his foot. Just fecking use your feet!
Haven't seen that much of Cliessen, but doesn't strike me of that better keeper. I think more appropriate example would be that he's Howard level and not many wanted Howard back in the days when he made that blunder against Porto.
OK so what it is about him that has impressed you in contrast to, say, Lindegaard or Johnstone?
He wasn't rated before he came here so I don't see how that argument holds. Before our team had even played and the nerviness spread you had a huge number of people expressing very reasonable concerns, and all that was met with was people being dismissive at the time and then gleefully throwing sarcastic jibes when he had nothing to do. I don't get stuff like this at all.
How can we survive with a Sampdoria reject ?
I haven't been blown away by him at all - he's done the things all good keepers should do. He was clearly at fault for their disgusting 2nd goal, but those things do happen. De Gea has made his share of mistakes over the years. I just feel like the kneejerking on certain players is to reduce the pain we feel about losing. The real culprit here is LvG. He is currently underachieving in his role as manager, which I've written about in the LvG thread.
Don't disagree at all on Van Gaal, after all he's the reason Romero is there in the first place. De Gea always deserved the benefit of the doubt for his mistakes because his ability was so obvious. This guy is a proven journeyman, and we're seeing why.
That was a joke aimed at those who claimed he couldn't play here. I'm less inclined to blame him because our defense was horrible. Blind was out of his depth against Gomis who was going passed him like a rag doll. There was also a general lack of focus from us on their counters.
That was cowardly, should have come flying out but didn't want to get clattered by Gomis.
He has ability but can't be relied in to be first choice here.

With DDG between the sticks we win the Swansea away match...instead we lose. That is the difference.
How the hell is Raoul a mod. Total bollocks from all angles
Horrible stuff for the second goal. De Gea's frame of mind is costing us points now. What a mess
Now you can finally understand why he was on the bench at Sampdoria, Monaco etc
One of the worst in the league for me.
Honestly go down the number 1 from each team, there aren't many you wouldn't take.
He hasn't had much to do in the 4 league games. He's not that good tbh
Now LVG can use this mistake as an excuse to bench him and get De Gea back in to the fold if he is not sold. If he is sold then we are going to be a bit light in this department. Going to be a long season.
Based on the fact that he hasn't had much to do. Very interesting.
He has a reputation of being dodgy which he has shown today. I really don't know where you have found this faith in Romero
