Not getting headlines is proof enough that he’s performing well
We wouldn’t hear the end of it if he came in and had Onana like errors.

Such a boring player...LOVE IT! 
Im enjoying the fact that our players aren't a bag of nerves every time the balls drops back into our final third.
One less problem for the team to deal with. lets us focus on fixing other things.. The players can rest a bit easier knowing the keeper isnt going to do something mental if you play it back to him.

Yeah I didn’t even see the game but from the highlights whatever shots/crosses he faced he seemed to collect them competently enough. It’s so nice to have a keeper that does the basics well enough.Such a boring player...LOVE IT!
Thought the shot in first half which came with pace and power through the crowded defence in front of him which he palmed down and claimed calmly was a fantastic save. Onana would have dropped a clanger there for sure.
You can see the opposition leave him alone (don’t target him - like they did with Onana and Bayindir) as well, both from a pressing perspective and on set pieces.
I like his boringness.
For the price we paid even if he ends up at second choice,hes solid ,reliable and likeable. He could be van der sar or van der gouw. Even at that it would be fine. Very happy with purchase. Showing good signs.
100% Onana would have glanced that into the goal off his gloves
I barely ever think about him and that's to his credit. Excellent signing
Was literally thinking the same thing in this passage of play. Onana used to make things happen by turning normal goalkeeping situations into complete fecking calamities.
Or straight into a danger area, likely straight at a Palace player.
Van der Gouw was never a shit keeper. Just worse than Schmeichel (but many were)
I don’t think the poster was implying VdG was crap. Saying, that VdS to VdG is his potential range, and at the worst, he would be a terrific No 2 - which is what VdG was.
I never said he was. I said van der sar (top tier) or van der gouw (solid pro) who could always be reliable when called upon.
Correct
Ok, fair enough. Chances are he will be even better than VdG.
The more I see of this lad the more I think we've unearthed a proper gem.
Fingers crossed

Why are people predicting what Onana would do? The uniqueness of his buffoonery is that he deals in the inexplicable. His ability to chuck one in out of absolutely nowhere is almost unparalleled.
Same. Reminds me of Courtois, dull as dishwater and nothing fancy.
So far so good. Think he maybe could've done better on couple of occassions (Welbeck's free kick, Everton's goal) but other than that it's been good.
For National Teams I sympathize with, it’s a pro having a colourful keeper like Rene Higuita or Andre Onana. For my own bread and butter team, it’s such a relief having a Van der Sar or a Van der Gouw.
Exactly. Van der Gouw and Romero was maybe our best second goalkeepers since I started watching in 1980, it’s not a total coincidence that Schmeichel and De Gea was two of the best keepers in the world with them in the team. Solid second keepers do mattet, both as security, as competition and as a training partner on the training ground. If Lammens can equal either of his linguistic cousins, it would be a big plus for United.
If we have a keeper whose 'mistakes' are "could do better" I'll be happy. I prefer that to "couldn't have done worse".
This is a fair point but there's nothing that's stood out about Lammens so far. He's alright. But alright = far better than Bayindir or Onana.
I do agree. De Gea of last few seasons and then Onana - it's been tough.
A solid presence so far. The defense is much calmer since he is playing in the XI. His shot stopping needs to improve though, he has let in goals which at a top level are expected to he saved
Didn't De Gea keep the most clean sheets in his last season?

I feel like he had no chance for the Bowen flicked header but by the time Mazraoui clears it off the line he should be racing back across goal and in a decent position to try and save that Magassa goal. He's still at the front post nowhere near it
Yeah, I noticed that too. How on Earth was he so far away when the ball came to Magassa?
Wtf?
He was halfway across the goal when it was hit, there's no way he's getting down to that.
That's very harsh. You may as well say Mazraoui should have stood up in that time.
It must be demoralizing for this kid to know that there's basically no chance of ever keeping a clean sheet, no matter how well he plays.
He got pushed by Wilson, I think that's who it was anyway. He knew he was too far away from it to dive and Magassa literally put it in the corner. Think it's a harsh one to judge him for.
His positioning on the goal was poor, he was glued to his near post as the ball came in and gave himself no chance of getting accross to save the shot that went in
Ridiculous to criticise him for that goal.
The ball literally arrived on the near post... Have people here ever payed football before? How he's being questioned for the goal is genuinely baffling
He came to meet the ball at the front stick as it was heading there like any keeper does. Bowen flicks it to the back post, it’s cleared off the line and then buried, in what world is Lammens meant to deal with that or at fault for the goal? Amad attempts to cheat and leaves his marker in an attempt to launch a counter in case the ball breaks. Poor game management from Amad, last thing on your mind that late into the game should be that. You’re only 1-0 up, it should be stick tight get this clear and get the game over the line.
Agreed
The goalscorer was left alone and had so much time. And on top of that it was right in the corner too
