He was great yesterdy. Yep, he made a mistake which could have cost us, but it didn't. On the other hand, he made some fantastic saves that kept us in match.

He saved us from complete and utter humiliation yesterday (if possible). As he did late on against Tottenham. His 5 clean sheets are completely warranted, as he has made some wonderful saves.

I don't see how his start is any different from De Gea's. He, too, was shaky and made a number of horrible mistakes, including that clanger that cost us a League final last year. We quite easily could have lost 3-0 had it not been for Romero. Conversely, I don't remember us even testing their goalkeeper.

A recurring fecking theme. Gone are the days when we could have a good old moan about opposition keepers having the game of their lives against us. I'd probably be able to list off every half-decent opposition keeper save in the whole season so far, all on the fingers of one hand.
 
Midtjylland 2:1 Man Utd
What a save. Been good tonight
 
Superb save.

Would DDG have saved the goal though? That is the question.
 
Think we'll make him our #1 next season when Dave inevitably leaves?

It's irrelevant tbh. David is miles better than most keepers on the planet so there's a good chance he would have saved. But he is injured. It's not like we benched de gea and played Romero.
 
He's a very good shot stopper. It's just his tendency for brain farts that lets him down.

My point is that it's difficult to truly appreciate how many points DDG earns us. If we lose him we'll never know how many goals he would have prevented.

No, that would be a stupid thing to do. Played well tonight, made a few brilliant saves, still not good enough to be our #1.
 
Well done lad.
 
Stepped up and put a classic ddg performance. Some ridiculous good saves, but nothing to do for the goals. First one deflected on smalling, and for the second credit to the tall guy, placed it perfectly and romero had his view blocked. Good game.
 
I wouldn't trust him not to miss-kick a simple backpass or drop an easy catch but he made a couple of excellent reflex saves tonight, kept us from being fully humiliated.

I think that is the thing with Romero. Some great reaction saves, great with the ball at his feet but an absolute howler is never far away.
 
He didn't deserve to be on the losing side. His third save was world class, he had no right to make that save. If it wasn't for him the tie would be over already.
 
he reminds me of heurelho gomes a bit. capable of making some excellent saves but also makes jaw dropping mistakes too often to be considered quality.

that said he was great, only reason why we're still in this tie.
 
Probably get it in the neck for this, but although he made two great saves, I think he should have done better for their goals. I actually think DDG would have saved them.

Gomes has actually been one of the best goalkeepers in the league this season. But I understand your point, when he was at tottenham, he wasn't as consistent.

agree that he's been great at watford so far. was brilliant at psv a long time ago as well.
 
Man Utd 5:1 Midtjylland
Really slow for their goal today and his kicking was giving me scares throughout. Hit the charging player once too and was lucky to get away.

He's just not that good.
 
Let's be honest, he did well last night. Especially punching out the few aerial balls they had, as we had a short defense
 
I love how positive he is on the ball, never hoofs the ball when its possible
 
There is a huge difference between him and Dave but for a no.2 he's alright. I thought Dave would have saved the goal though
 
He's basically Barthez but not quite as good isn't he? Talented, inconsistent, mental and a bit of a flapper. I'd take Johnstone over him any day myself but I do think his kicking is pretty good which is I expect what Van Gaal likes about him.
 
He can't say 'I know he is better so I'm happy to sit on the bench'

Seems like a normal response
 
He's the worst United keeper of the last 15 years, and one of the worst at any club in the league.

He is comfortably better than kusczak Lindegard and all. He is also one of the most decent backups in any club (other than begovic)
