i know, ive seen those mistakes and im worried everytime he has the ball at his feet. he actually dived over the ball for the second goal.It can only get worse tho. This game didn't have one of his shocking mistakes, which he usually had in his last stint in Sampdoria.
Agreed.Not good enough. Never has been. Genuinely think he's the fourth best keeper at United.
Not many people want Cillessen but after today I'd imagine people would be happy with the middle-aged Brad Friedel if it meant not playing Romero.If nothing else this will make Van Gaal insist De Gea stays or we'll be signing another keeper tomorrow.
Cillesen isn't much better.If nothing else this will make Van Gaal insist De Gea stays or we'll be signing another keeper tomorrow.
You don't know that. De Gea has made miracle saves and this could have been one of them. Most goalkeepers wouldnt have stopped that first one so blaming Romero for that one (i blame Rooney for it) isnt really fair but we all know de Gea is capable of saving certain goals.Bullshit. De Gea could have well conceded it as well.
Because I don't think he is. He is merely a scapegoat for a general nervyness we have about how our squad is performing.Why are you so reluctant to admit that the general consensus that he's a bit rubbish is indeed true, and these opinions were actually based on watching him play rather than just a bunch of sheep toeing the line?
Haven't seen that much of Cliessen, but doesn't strike me of that better keeper. I think more appropriate example would be that he's Howard level and not many wanted Howard back in the days when he made that blunder against Porto.Not many people want Cillessen but after today I'd imagine people would be happy with the middle-aged Brad Friedel if it meant not playing Romero.
OK so what it is about him that has impressed you in contrast to, say, Lindegaard or Johnstone?Because I don't think he is.
He wasn't rated before he came here so I don't see how that argument holds. Before our team had even played and the nerviness spread you had a huge number of people expressing very reasonable concerns, and all that was met with was people being dismissive at the time and then gleefully throwing sarcastic jibes when he had nothing to do. I don't get stuff like this at all.Because I don't think he is. He is merely a scapegoat for a general nervyness we have about how our squad is performing.
How can we survive with a Sampdoria reject ?
I haven't been blown away by him at all - he's done the things all good keepers should do. He was clearly at fault for their disgusting 2nd goal, but those things do happen. De Gea has made his share of mistakes over the years. I just feel like the kneejerking on certain players is to reduce the pain we feel about losing. The real culprit here is LvG. He is currently underachieving in his role as manager, which I've written about in the LvG thread.OK so what it is about him that has impressed you in contrast to, say, Lindegaard or Johnstone?
Don't disagree at all on Van Gaal, after all he's the reason Romero is there in the first place. De Gea always deserved the benefit of the doubt for his mistakes because his ability was so obvious. This guy is a proven journeyman, and we're seeing why.I haven't been blown away by him at all - he's done the things all good keepers should do.

That was a joke aimed at those who claimed he couldn't play here. I'm less inclined to blame him because our defense was horrible. Blind was out of his depth against Gomis who was going passed him like a rag doll. There was also a general lack of focus from us on their counters.He wasn't rated before he came here so I don't see how that argument holds.

One of the worst in the league for me.Not good enough. Never has been. Genuinely think he's the fourth best keeper at United.
He hasn't had much to do in the 4 league games. He's not that good tbhGet a grip. He has conceded one goal that was actually saveable in 6 games, and both today were after the defense completely switched off.
my thoughts too.That was a joke aimed at those who claimed he couldn't play here. I'm less inclined to blame him because our defense was horrible. Blind was out of his depth against Gomis who was going passed him like a rag doll. There was also a general lack of focus from us on their counters.
Based on the fact that he hasn't had much to do. Very interesting.He hasn't had much to do in the 4 league games. He's not that good tbh
He has a reputation of being dodgy which he has shown today. I really don't know where you have found this faith in RomeroBased on the fact that he hasn't had much to do. Very interesting.
