Well I disagree. I think is has looked extremely competent, especially dealing with crosses, which is what I expected him to struggle with the most.
The only negative I can think of is him lingering on that pass from Carrick(?).

He has, but he has also had a couple of shaky moments (which is normal for someone in his situation), he also hasn't come up against a really good attacking side that isn't still on holiday (yes, this is a shot at spurs).
I am confident in his abilities as our number 1 for now though.
Darmian.
@Kylar Stern
He hasn't much to do in all honestly, yet came very close against Brugge to costing us a second goal from nothing. A very costly goal it could have turned out to have been. This guy will be up against the likes of Aguero and Hazard later in the season it will surely turn out to be a disaster.
All keepers make mistakes, maybe it was a one off. We will see. I just don't rate him.
Brought the discussion here not to derail the twitter thread.

If you're talking about the back pass that caused confusion, it was from Schneiderlin.
Why is the prevailing narrative here to laugh at anyone who doesn't think he's every bit as good as de Gea?
He's played well in his first three games- nobody is denying that. However, many of us have watched him regularly in the past and have reasonably come to the conclusion that he's not good enough to be United's number 1. A few good performances doesn't change that one bit.

No, I'm pretty sure it was Darmian.
Can't find a clip, so this will have to do:
"Then it was squeeky bum time as Schneiderlin played a suicidal back pass to Romero, who was clipped by Oulare as he tried a rushed clearance."

From BBC live stream: "What is Sergio Romero doing there? Matteo Darmian's back pass seemed harmless enough but the United goalkeeper dallied and dallied and striker Obbi Oulare almost stole in to steal the ball. The keeper is awarded a free-kick, fortunately for him."

Go to 2H Bt, and around 17 minutes, you'll see Schneiderlin's back pass.

I'm it was Schneiderlin too. Been reported incorrectly on a few MBM online reports. It stuck in my head because it cam immediately after he similarly underhit a pass to BFS.
From Matchday thread,
Here's the gif of Romero's terrible moment of madness. It is Morgan who passed back to him. He takes a step back to create better angle to pass to Blind or Shaw. The ball slowed down a lot though, it looks. Plus we play from the back and Romero is perhaps under instruction not to hoof the ball.
It doesn't look like a mistake to me.

Fair enough it is Morgan. It looked it was Darmian to me.
Man Utd 0:0 Newcastle
He looks like he hasn't got a clue about how to command his area today.
Based on what?
I don't think anyone could do anything regarding the header. As for that obertan incident he clearly saw that they were offside and thought that they would leave the ball alone (colback mitrovic and all made no attempt to get the ball when they were offside)and obertan kicked the ball only so that Newcastle don't get caught in the counter when Romero collects and throws it back
This place is like Pravda when it comes to Romero.
I thought that at first (the offside thing) until he started charging at him.
I've heard it all now.
I don`t think anyone can judge Romero yet , he hasn`t had much to do as the teams we`ve played haven`t really threatened him and the defense has pretty much controlled the game in front of him . Not complaining though , long may it continue , just hope we don`t find out he is crap after the window closes .
Was fine except for that time he came ridiculously far out of his box and was bypassed by a simple pass - thank God they were offside! Also didn't look close to stopping that header that hit the bar. Made a great catch later on, but had little to do.
Going for the Golden Glove. Hart won it last season with 14 clean sheets.
We've been fairly lucky in that he's hardly been tested so far. All the clean sheets are semi-deceiving cos he's mostly had feck all to do, thanks in large part to the defense and the quality of the teams we've played. One annoying habit of his I've found is that he rarely seems to feel any urgency in clearing the ball while it's at his feet and the opposition is nearby. Seems too lackadaisical in that regard.
He seems so slow to get down for low shots, he seems to take an extra little step before falling over rather than diving. Kind of lumbering. Unfair to compare him to DDG in that respect, but that is the standard we've all come to expect and love seeing.
Let Frans Hoek work his magic
He'll get betterHow hard do you reckon it is unlearn that bad habit? I'm not so sure it can be done.Let Frans Hoek work his magic
Agree, he actually looks like Blackett at times when under pressure. You need to have some composure but it's like he's oblivious.
Still, we wouldn't have won the Spurs match without his play late in the game so he's made an important contribution.
He did a really good, dominant catch off one of their corners, that was nice.
Yea just distribution seems to be a bit gung ho for me.
I like a simple short pass out ..
His distribution is good I think...he generally finds a man with his long passes...
But I agree that he sometimes looks a little bit too laid back in his kicking...
I'm nervous having him in net, but with no real reason, other than that brain fart he had against Brugge in the first leg...

Brugge 0:4 Man Utd
Anyone else getting a sense of Foster from Romero?
Seems to quite frequently make the wrong decision when being pressed with the ball at his feet. Hasn't had a Tevez-level howler yet, but he seems increasingly due. Almost got caught out twice tonight so far.

Great goalkeeping at the end of that half
What a man.
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo lo lo, Sergio Romeroooooo
Can't believe he saved that
How that did not go in I will never know, what a save.
Starting to feel less concerned, 3 clean sheets out of 4 is promising.

He's taken the Falcao song 
That was brilliant goalkeeping btw.

He reminds me of H Gomes. He's not done anything wrong yet, but he doesn't have the sense of aura of calmness required. I can't imagine having him as our main man for the season.
He tends to take his time when it's passed back to him, but I've taken it as a sign he's calm and doesn't feel he needs to nervously rush his clearance.
That one on one keeping was
