Really good today I thought. Got a very loud chant as well.
I voted him MotM too. He saved our skin especially saving the Eriksen shot towards the end which I think is a much better save than it looks. I was highly impressed with Smalling and Darmian too but Romero certainly took his chance yesterday. Once he gets used to the way the team plays and feels settled in the team then he is surely going to improve. He may not be our number one this year but on yesterday's performance I'd be comfortable with him playing several games this season.
Brilliant stuff. A huge contrast from the "support" some here provided.
He did (mostly) what he suppose to do, albeit some nervous passes and saves. Some of his distributions are very good though especially one or two of his long throws which straight away sent the team for counter attacks.
Having said that, can he handle the pressure against Stoke away though? Old joke it seems now as Mark Hughes is slowly turning Stoke into non-Stoke team.

Was excellent yesterday the only thing was he changed his mind a few times on coming for the ball. But looked to have great hands.
He did look a bit nervous with distribution in the 1st half but that's really understandable.
That's great to see.
I thought his distribution was actually good, especially the times he threw the ball straight out to the wings can't really recall DDG doing that.Didnt give me the jitters either unlike Taibi/Barthez/Howard hope if DDG does goes we keep faith in him.
He looks fine to me, the wayward passes don't bother me as people are saying his distribution is supposed to be quite good. However, the only slight worry I have is that he's barely played regularly for a club team lately. How come?
looked good...
Just read a tweet suggesting he wasn't a backup more that he was frozen out at Sampdoria as they wanted his wages off the books. Not sure how true though.
Fair play to him, did well given the language barrier and lack of time he has had.
Either way, van Gaal knows his shit. If he trust him, so should we.
You'd imagine Hoek would have a lot of say in this and with he's vastly experienced too.
Aye.
I'd agree with you. I thought he actually looked very confident with the ball at his feet he didn't seem to rush to me and seemed to be trying to find attacking options with the ball. There was one point on 12 minutes where under pressure he kicked it down the middle and you could see Carrick pointing to kick it to the left or right wing and from then on he was fine.
I watched the game again last night and the majority of his passes found it's man.
Was really good yesterday, yes he had two awful passes but his saving was excellent and that's what we bought him for. If it was De Gea, he would have been Man of the Match. It's been his first game for us and his first game for a while so I can forgive the rustiness of his passing but his saving really helped the team.
The goal keeper coaches just need to help him with his choices as they did with De Gea.
Welcome Sergio

The lad did alright just glad he was not another Taibi
the lad will slowly get used to his team mates and playing regularly will help. His kicking and throwing will improve.
The coaches will be working with him.

Ok he did well yesterday, besides his distribution, but we knew he was talented. Argentina couldn't get to a World Cup final with an absolute bum in goal. The question for me is whether he can actually do it over the course of a season. Easy to be well up for the occasion on your debut, but if that concentration slips as the season progresses then we could suffer. There must be some reason he's not really consistently played for a decent club.
Save for Rooney, Van Gaal seems to have no problems dropping players who are off the boil so I'm not too worried there. However if De Gea does leave, and we do not sign a new GK having Johnstone as next in line could be quite troublesome.
Well yeah that's what I'm getting at. We definitely need someone else if/when De Gea leaves. Can't afford to let that potential drop in concentration hit us.
Not bad for a first game at OT after joining us a week ago. With more time here, he can only get better
The criticism was still unwarranted before he even played a freakin game. I don't expect it to be at the same levels of ridiculousness but then im never surprised by what people do
Did anyone else got the feeling that he is little bit cocky and has confidence in his passing rather then the other way round and it was just little bit of nerves why he misplaced some passes.
Yep. There were a few times he received back passes that other keepers would just hoof back up the pitch aimlessly but he actually fancied himself on the ball so was happy to take touches and look for a pass out instead of just a big clearance.
I keep clicking on this thinking it's the Sergio Ramos thread

Good debut .Needs to work on distribution. But considering he as not had much time with the squad was composed.
Save for two mishit passes his distribution was excellent
This. His passes were mostly accurate.
Decent debut for him, made 1 or 2 decent saves. He handled the pressure very well, hope he keeps it up if DDG is dropped again.
His distribution was a bit ropey but apart from that he did well for his first match. Some of the stick he was getting from a few people on here before he'd even kicked a ball for us was totally unwarranted.
Romero played very well. Some good saves in the end, and looked cool as anything all game. I didn't see these nerves everyone was going on about, even in the first half. He was kicking well, chipping the ball out to people with both feet. He played one out into touch, but I don't understand how the confidence to chip the ball over a striker with your weak foot instead of just booting it clear is an example of 'nerves'.
More of the same and he will be better than many keepers in the league, and certainly good enough to play for us. The likes of Courtois and Cech had shockers this weekend and people are criticising Romero's performance. Although I haven't read past page 4 of this thread, so the tone may well have changed to be fair.

Gives the impression that it will go wrong. But then it doesn't.
Terrific first performance, given he has been thrown in at the deep end a bit. Fair play to him, he was getting slated before the match. Guess he will be playing for the rest of this month so hope he can carry on from that and continue to put in good performances.
Solid game, I didn't think he did anything special, tho. This should do wonders for his confidence, good to see because it looks like we will be stuck with him on goal until the transfer window is over.
the last person I would like to see doing something special is the GK
When you take into consideration the circumstances that he played under, Ï thought he had a really fantastic debut!
The lad showed very good character and ability do deal with highly charged situation.
I'm positive, he'll only improve from this.

The way some people talk about him, you'd think he's some rookie GK or teenager who's playing in Europe for the first time, this is Argentina's #1 GK, a world cup and Copa America finalist we're talking about here, he's not De Gea but he's a very competent GK.
