"David has a little problem and has not travelled and normally Sergio plays in the Europa League and the Europa League is next Thursday, so not bad for him at all to have a match for him before then.
 
Interesting to see how he gets in today. Anichebe likes to throw his weight around and will probably try to test him.
 
Great stop.

The only issue is his casual nature which sometimes puts people off. I don't think the opinion on him has ever changed since LVG played him in that first run of games. Even then it seemed he was a good keeper.
 
He really is. Some people only focus on his (really rare nowadays) few mistakes, but he's been great this season.


Can't believe he wasn't good enough for likes of Sampdoria. Maybe a move to United was the making of him?
 
Never knew how he ended up out of contract after AZ only for Van Gaal to get him on a free. Has the odd head scratching mistake in him but he's also a solid shot stopper.
 
He's a very capable goalkeeper. Could easily start for a few top PL sides.
 
He's not bad is our Sergio. Like him a lot.
His distribution is pretty good as well. Really good back up.

One of LVG's better buys - and this one for free!:lol:
 
Would start at Liverpool and Arsenal.
 
His delivery and positioning today was superb.

He has the quality to be a starter in most top clubs out there.

We're lucky to have a backup keeper of such quality.

Steady on he's not better than Cech (even a modern day Cech)

Good solid game today, reminds me of VDS in that he just makes everything look simple
 
If De Gea leaves I wouldn't necessarily care if he was our GK given how solid our defence is.
 
He conceded only one goal in those three finals with Argentina.

On form I think he'd get into arsenal team team. Cech is better goalkeeper than him no doubt bur he hasn't been great this season. Far from it.
 
If we hadn't already got De Gea, I think everyone would be praising Romero as one of the best goalkeepers in the league.

Cech is always making mistakes, rather have Romero
 
His distribution is solid. Not only accurate but he is decisive and releases the ball quickly.

Bit of a muddle with Bailly in the 2nd half could have been costly. Someone needs to put a name on that.

Decent though. One big save against Anichebe, and a few good claims of aerial balls. Not much to do besides that.

I have been saying this for quite a long time. His kicking technique is very good. It's kinder for our players to receive even under pressure. I don't think he always releases the ball quick. Was gotten a lot of stick for day dreaming when receiving backpasses from upfield players. It's his kicking technique that is sharp and clean. Solid GK too

I agree that he's often been guilty of not playing the ball quickly in the past. In some games he's cut it fine and has often looking like he was going to be tackled by the pressing attacker! He was very sharp at releasing the ball today though. Something which i think De Gea is a bit indecisive at.
 
Some great moments but there was a bit of misconmmunication at one point. His distribution was top drawer today though
