The bit where he completely panicked and kicked it out for a throw in wasn't very reassuring.

Don't understand all the negativity, he's hardly done anything wrong this half. It's like people have already made up their minds.
Bizarre. Just goes to show how two moments can overshadow an entire performance. His first misplaced pass was from him trying to chip it past a striker in his own box with his weaker foot for Christ's sake - if anything he's too confident and casual. Aside from that he's been stroking the ball around with ease and authority.
Bit shakey today, it's scaring the beejeezus out of me.
He's been a little nervy when Spurs close him down. Our goalkeeper situation is a mess.
Yeah because none of our defenders offered themselves for the ball.
Yeah, I thought he did fine. Quick off his line, vitally, to deny Walker a great chance. Very good distribution.
To be fair his defence hasn't exactly been all that helpful, not with some of those back passes and how easily they're getting out-muscled.
At this point I'm more concerned with Blind at CB.

He made a really good save at one point.
Not enjoying some of his kicking though.

A couple of dodgy kicks, which is to be expected when thrown in at the deep end. Otherwise fine
I could see why he might be playing under a bit of pressure. Signed less than a week ago, give him some time to settle in.
It's his first game at possibly last minute notice at a huge club after barely playing at club level, he's going to have shaky moments but his distribution apart from that has been pretty good, people are panicking because it suits the hyperbole.
They were less than helpful, yeah. I'm not sure it called for whacking it in to touch, though.
Yeah he looked as relaxed as Cleverley spraying the ball around, true that
Debut aside, he's barely played first team football recently. Let's be patient, but I'm not sure what he is doing that a low team goalie couldn't do better
He's doing well. Don't forget, he had not game time for a long time
I'm not saying it's clear from one moment that he's crap.
Couple of bad passes but feck he's hardly helped with no option to pass to. He's barely played club football recently and even then his passing is still better than most goalies around.
Good point. Most keepers would be a bit nervy in similar circumstances.
I think he had a bad first touch and the ball got stuck under him
This is kinda why I rarely post here. At least about United topics. 45 minutes against a good team where we have 4 new starters and score and the top topic of conversation seems to be the "contest winner" in goals. I'll be posting in the Caf goes into meltdown thread by the end of today. 
Two bad kicks and that's kind of it really. I can understand I suppose, after all DDG started like a house on fire when he signed.

Romero found a man with 8 of his 10(not exact numbers) passes but people will judge him for the 2 he missed
Carrick stitched him up on the second one really but he doesn't inspire confidence, not that he will ever be first choice anyway.
He put our players under pressure a lot. On the other hand I don't understand how so many players can't cover the ball properly back to opponents. It's just baffling how slow start some palyers have, you'd expect them to be quite sharp..
As long as the ball is out of our net, I am happy with him.
Contrast his passing with that of Johnstone or Lindegaard, guys.
Also, his shot stopping is supposed to be the strong part of his game. So no worries yet.

Actually he played copa final in July.
They have. He's not DDG so he must be sh!t.
He's average, always been. Wonder how many times he'll play to get LVG to know that.
yeah and 6out of eight attempts put us under immense pressure.. great statistics though!
True but I meant with United. He's been here for a week or so
Apart from maybe him possibly coming out a bit faster for that Kane chance he hasn't really had anything at all to do for anyone to start making assumptions. Either way he'll need time to get into the swing of things at Utd so lets hope he gets it.
I think it's more 'he was back up at a not particularly good Italian club, so he must be shit', to be fair.
Let's not forget this is his debut game after a grand total of 0 minutes in preseason, I think we can forgive him for the occasional moment of nerves or rustiness.
So because other players aren't fully aware of their surroundings it's Romero's fault? He's a keeper fs not Xavi. Our players take too long on the ball, been a problem for years and other teams know it.
A couple of dodgy kicks, impressed with him besides that though.
2 bad passes to his right
One pass to Morgan who then lost it. But I would blame Morgan more in that for not playing it quicker
Apart from that he looks ok
New signing, new country, probably found out yesterday he was starting

No problem with him, will be a good backup keeper for us.

I'm not convinced by him at all and don't think he is suddenly going to become good enough for United when he has not been good enough for Monaco or Sampdoria, much smaller teams with significantly less pressure, but at least give him a chance. Stranger things have happened.
