Was very good today. Give him some credit ffs. It was his debut and made a couple of very good saves and read the few crosses well. A couple of poor touches, but it's to be expected. It's not like he's used to playing in Van Gaal's system.

I think it's more 'he was back up at a not particularly good Italian club, so he must be shit', to be fair.

I suppose so. Still, some people here clearly are just looking for a chance to complain about him. If he is shit, we'll get better clues than slightly poor kicks.
 
After all the shit he was getting on here during the game I thought he was pretty good. Never going to be a long term number one but came in late, didn't play any pre season and probably doesn't speak any English yet put in a solid dependable performance today. Well done Sergio
 
Started a bit nervy - as did the whole team really, but he grew into the game and made some nice saves. His kicking wasn't too bad either. Hopefully that'll give him the confidence to push on.

What kind of guy is Romero in real life? He played good but are there any stories about how he has behaved at his previous clubs etc? He comes across as too humble and a little shy. He looks very nervous after making saves and looks very relieved at the same time. Im hoping he can come out of it and become a bit arrogant and more confident.

Or is that just his character?

It's his first game for us having just joined, and thrown straight into the mix in the league's opening game in front of 75k fans at Old Trafford. Safe to say, it can be mentally overwhelming. Was nice to see the fans getting behind him. All things considered, he handled his debut impressively.
 
he played ok but didn't make any saves you wouldn't expect a keeper to Save.

His distribution was awful and nearly cost us a couple of times and a coupe of shots he parried when he didn't need to. It will cost us when playing against better teams
 
I thought he did very well, circumstances taken into consideration. Looked quite composed, even if he had a couple of minor blips with the ball at his feet.
 
Its a mark of a good goalkeeper to be that nervous early on and totally step up when the pressure is on late on. What he did late on showed far more bottle than a lot of us (myself included) gave him credit for when I first saw him.

Its not like he's been plucked from some reserve side either. He's played in World Cup finals.
 
Played very good and didn't make any costly mistakes. The mistakes he did make he made sure they'd be the least risky mistakes he could make.
 
Did well, nothing special and was the kind of performance you expect from a competent number two. Real test will be how he performs week in week out because his career history suggests that is where he struggles.
 
Looks a top notch shot stopper. Wish we would stop making our keepers fanny about with the ball at their feet. Must have got instructions in the second half not to have to play as a fecking 5th Defender. Thank feck for that.
 
Impressed. 8/10 for me, some dodgy passes but didn't do bad with his clearances and long range hoofs. Showed good reflexes and great positioning. It was his debut people, been in the country 20 minutes and doesn't know half his teammates names yet.

Compare it to De Gea's debut and we're onto a winner...
 
He had a decent debut without a doubt, couple of wobbly moments and needs to hold the ball more but overall solid enough with thankfully no aerial pressure to face.
 
One of the best players on the pitch today. He controlled his area and made some good saves to keep us in the lead. His distribution was also very good from his throw-outs.
 
Was excellent, did everything required. He was the reason we got three points, two more than we probably deserved today.

I don't think he have played week-in, week-out for a while. He was second choice at Monaco and not into reckoning at Sampdoria last season. He is decent, the only thing he's bad at is punching shots rather than holding on. Otherwise, he is decent. It'd be interesting to see how he plays VIlla next week.
 
Was pleased for him that it went ok and I so love our fans - giving him some much needed support. Keeping my fingers crossed for him in our second game..
 
With some of the comments made before the game you would've thought he couldn't catch a cold.

Well exactly that's the problem he wasn't good enough to start at Monaco and was dropped at sampdoria and he wasn't behind world class keepers at either club so he will probably struggle if he has to play regularly here.
 
I feel like its 2011 all over again. We've got a talented shot stopper who has kittens any time the ball comes anywhere near him.

Decent debut considering the circumstances but hes going to have to step up massively if he becomes our first choice.
 
He did well today but looks shaky. No more than a No.2 for me. I'd hope LVG makes amends with Valdes if we are going to lose De Gea because Romero will cost us points as the season progresses
 
Very impressed with him today. Struggled with the ball at his feet but made some really good saves (the one from Walker in the first half was excellent - he came out quickly to cut the angle down) and commanded his area well late on. If he keeps up that level he will do a very good job for the club.
 
Very solid performance today especially considering the circumstances. Good shot stopping, very good anticipation on crosses and balls into the box for the most part, excellent distribution when not under pressure and didn't take any risks when he was. His clearances under pressure probably his weakest point today but thats probably a smart decision to just hoof it away in these situations.

I think Romero's negative reputation on here are vastly exaggerated. With that said, I would still like to bring in a better number 1.
 
Good performance overall. His distribution was quite poor but he was put under pressure from bad back passes a few times and if we don't have Fellaini up front then Young/Rooney/Mata/Memphis aren't going to win many ariel duels from his clearances.
 
First half was poor. The chance that got lofted over the bar, I think he lacked authority. He had another moment being indecisive in the first half and some poor kicking. Second half saw some good moments but even one of the saves that was at his feet, he pushed it in front of him - think if has confident, that would be an easy save for him. Was more confident in the second half and he just needs to be calm. Obviously, it's a big opportunity for him but he should take confidence in the fact he's LVGS buy. Another day we would have conceded but if he's a lucky goalkeeper, then that will do. Not sure he can speak English yet but just needs to maintain the authority in his game.
 
A bit crazy save to make but this needed to be done when Tottenham really didn't had serious problems with our marking.
