He was great yesterdy. Yep, he made a mistake which could have cost us, but it didn't. On the other hand, he made some fantastic saves that kept us in match.

A recurring fecking theme. Gone are the days when we could have a good old moan about opposition keepers having the game of their lives against us. I'd probably be able to list off every half-decent opposition keeper save in the whole season so far, all on the fingers of one hand.He saved us from complete and utter humiliation yesterday (if possible). As he did late on against Tottenham. His 5 clean sheets are completely warranted, as he has made some wonderful saves.
I don't see how his start is any different from De Gea's. He, too, was shaky and made a number of horrible mistakes, including that clanger that cost us a League final last year. We quite easily could have lost 3-0 had it not been for Romero. Conversely, I don't remember us even testing their goalkeeper.

Superb save.
Would DDG have saved the goal though? That is the question.

Romero playing like De Gea atm.
It's irrelevant tbh. David is miles better than most keepers on the planet so there's a good chance he would have saved. But he is injured. It's not like we benched de gea and played Romero.Superb save.

He's a very good shot stopper. It's just his tendency for brain farts that lets him down.

My point is that it's difficult to truly appreciate how many points DDG earns us. If we lose him we'll never know how many goals he would have prevented.It's irrelevant tbh.

Unbelievable save. Looking forward to that save convincing people he can be DDGs replacement. He can't. He's shite.

No, that would be a stupid thing to do. Played well tonight, made a few brilliant saves, still not good enough to be our #1.Think we'll make him our #1 next season when Dave inevitably leaves?

Stepped up and put a classic ddg performance. Some ridiculous good saves, but nothing to do for the goals. First one deflected on smalling, and for the second credit to the tall guy, placed it perfectly and romero had his view blocked. Good game.

I wouldn't trust him not to miss-kick a simple backpass or drop an easy catch but he made a couple of excellent reflex saves tonight, kept us from being fully humiliated.

Great performance. A shame he was on the losing side, after making two or three superb saves.

I think that is the thing with Romero. Some great reaction saves, great with the ball at his feet but an absolute howler is never far away.I wouldn't trust him not to miss-kick a simple backpass or drop an easy catch but he made a couple of excellent reflex saves tonight, kept us from being fully humiliated.

He didn't deserve to be on the losing side. His third save was world class, he had no right to make that save. If it wasn't for him the tie would be over already.

I'm honestly surprised how good he was.

Pulled off some good saves and his kicking was good too. Same again from him hopefully against Shrewsbury

Probably get it in the neck for this, but although he made two great saves, I think he should have done better for their goals. I actually think DDG would have saved them.

A good back up, hopefully he's not the ambitious type.

Gomes has actually been one of the best goalkeepers in the league this season. But I understand your point, when he was at tottenham, he wasn't as consistent.he reminds me of heurelho gomes a bit. capable of making some excellent saves but also makes jaw dropping mistakes too often to be considered quality.
that said he was great, only reason why we're still in this tie.
agree that he's been great at watford so far. was brilliant at psv a long time ago as well.Gomes has actually been one of the best goalkeepers in the league this season. But I understand your point, when he was at tottenham, he wasn't as consistent.

Really slow for their goal today and his kicking was giving me scares throughout. Hit the charging player once too and was lucky to get away.
He's just not that good.

Should have done better for their goal but so should the defence for that matter.
Not many better #2's than him.

Let's be honest, he did well last night. Especially punching out the few aerial balls they had, as we had a short defense

There is a huge difference between him and Dave but for a no.2 he's alright. I thought Dave would have saved the goal though

He's basically Barthez but not quite as good isn't he? Talented, inconsistent, mental and a bit of a flapper. I'd take Johnstone over him any day myself but I do think his kicking is pretty good which is I expect what Van Gaal likes about him.

Big Serge reckons he can oust De Gea out of the #1 spot.
Bless.

Maybe he know's Dave still wants to leave and Madrid have replaced the toner in their fax machine.Big Serge reckons he can oust De Gea out of the #1 spot.

He's the worst United keeper of the last 15 years, and one of the worst at any club in the league.
He is comfortably better than kusczak Lindegard and all. He is also one of the most decent backups in any club (other than begovic)He's the worst United keeper of the last 15 years, and one of the worst at any club in the league.
