So good that he can decide midflight which hand to use to palm a shot away.
This.Some excellent saves tonight. He is one of the few positives we can take from this game. Continuing on from where he left off last season.
... I may faint.This.
Don't get your hopes up (that I've been coverted) yet ... that bolded part also includes 'this'.... I may faint.

He made some good stops,although I do find he seems to have a tendency for the theatrical ... still it's all about entertainment I guess.
Even though the ball landed on the six-yard box, anyone of repute will know that with the number of bodies in there, together with the quality of the cross he played the percentages correctly. Can't be blamed there.But the media will probably hammer him for conceding from a corner.
He pretty well does.He could do cartwheels for all I care as long as he stops the ball
Not for much longer, though Hart, DDG and Courtois (someone mentioned Ter Stegen who I've seen nothing of) will soon be like the new version of Schmeichel, Buffon, Khan, VDS - best four keepers in Europe all with claims to be the very best.And people think Joe Hart is the best keeper in the league? Hah.
I love DDG but Vorm has the quickest reactions. Like a cat. Don't rate the rest of his game as much as some though.he's fine. His punching is weak but he bailed us out of the shit today. Quickest reactions for a keeper in the league IMO.
NoAre we ever going to see him behind a settled defense? He's not had a good run of solid defense in front of him since he arrived.
Has to be one of the worst runs of defensive injury crisis for a new, young bedding in keeper to have to play behind in the history of football.
Hats off to the lad he really is working hard.
Most of the saves he made he saw late so used his brilliant reactions to get to them. He was also a lot more assured when coming to punch from crosses. It was a great performance and a lesser keeper probably wouldn't have made as many saves due to the difficulty of being blinded by defenders in the way. Praise well and truly deservedAm I the only one who thought he did what was expected of him and the saves weren't all that special? I always think we go overboard when it comes to DDG, either with criticism or praise.
Probably, half of those shots could have gone in and you couldn't complain about him not saving them. The volley shot (or was it not a volley? I think it was Jelavic or Fellaini) in the first half and the free kick for example. Of course the pure fact that he saved those shots meant they were savable but with a worse goalkeeper we'd have been 2-0 down by half-time.Am I the only one who thought he did what was expected of him and the saves weren't all that special? I always think we go overboard when it comes to DDG, either with criticism or praise.
Why?Can the mods dig up my thread from the Newbs when I said we should sign him, fecking brilliant keeper. Still needs to bulk up and work on crosses though.
Never seen him in real life. Ridiculous on FM.Not for much longer, though Hart, DDG and Courtois (someone mentioned Ter Stegen who I've seen nothing of) will soon be like the new version of Schmeichel, Buffon, Khan, VDS - best four keepers in Europe all with claims to be the very best.
I think he made the safe from the Baines free kick look flashy but it was a good safe all the same.Am I the only one who thought he did what was expected of him and the saves weren't all that special? I always think we go overboard when it comes to DDG, either with criticism or praise.
Got there in the end ay?I think he made the safe from the Baines free kick look flashy but it was a good safe all the same.
The best safe was from Osman. Even though it was close to his head it was hit at extreme pace from about 10 yards out. That was a brilliant save.
Wow, you predicted we'd sign one of the highest rated young goalkeepers in the world who has been playing in Spanish youth teams for years and was number one choice at one of the biggest clubs in La Liga?Can the mods dig up my thread from the Newbs when I said we should sign him, fecking brilliant keeper.
