What i kept thinking.He was my MOTM. Considering the fact that he hasn't played a single proper preseason game with his team mates. Doesn't speak English. Didn't know that he was playing until a couple of days before. Making his PL debut at OT with lots of pressure and focus on him. He did really well all things considered. Performance will definitely give him (and his team mates) confidence. He'll have bigger tests ahead but it was a solid start.
Also, do adidas do a short-sleeved version of the GK shirt? We can't have him wearing that improvised version which looked like he's been hacking at the sleeves with a blunt knife every week can we?

I don't like the way he parries all his saves back into dangerous areas.
You're just afraid to live life on the edge.
I thought the same thing. I commented during the game that he looks like he's just having a kick about with his mates down the park.
He was getting closed down by attackers and looked carefree.
Agree with all of this. I wouldn't buy Cillessen if De Gea goes.
The biggest concerning thing with him might be his temperament. I don't think he has been tested for an entire season. Even though he is a first choice NT keeper he is yet to be tested temperamentally for the course of 9-10 months given that he was second choice at his last 2 clubs.
He plays like me at the goal when attackers close in on me. In my head I panic but then I make a cool pass to a teammate like there's nothing to it. And people sometimes say - wov how cool headed that pass was. And they dont know what went in my head.
That's ok, actions matter more
I thought he was decent with his feet. From watching him at the WC my main worry was his habit of palming saves back into dangerous areas. He kind of did it once against Spurs but he also held onto the ball when he really needed to. Which was reassuring.
He was mine too. Given the occasion I thought he did really well when you consider the other points that you mention. Hopefully it will be a sign of things to come.
I hope Romero doesn't lose his place when the transfer window is over if he continues doing well! He's still relatively young for a goalkeeper.
Aston Villa 0:1 Man Utd
2 games, 2 clean sheets
Wasn't really tested but did everything needed of him, good performance.
Every time the ball comes over, he collects. Which is what I thought he'd have trouble with, coming to a new league where you have to be on alert with all the balls being whipped in. Cant slag him off at all.
He makes Dave look nervous on the ball. He must be high or something
Looks calm enough on the ball and his height reassures me on high balls. I like him.
Hes actually exceptional with the ball at his feet and distribution in general. I feel like a dick head for worrying about him in the side
Doesn't look overly bothered does he?
Nothing in terms of difficult saves but doing what he needs to do right now. Defence is making his life piss easy.

Relaxed and good performance. Didnt have much to do but what he had to do he did good.

He does all his mistakes in the warm up. Good tactic.
Hes doing okay so far but we need to wait to see how he does under a lot of pressure. continuous shots on goal, continuous crosses, continuous 1 on 1 situations etc. we'll see.
He looks massive. Huge presence at set piece. Better than coming off his line than De Gea. Not seen enough of his shot stopping to judge that, but he did well at that against Spurs.
Nothing to do, but everything he's doing is right.
Agree. I like his calm nature, and starting position is excellent
Lets be honest, he's been a lot better than we expected him to be. Pleasantly surprised with him so far. Yes he's not had that much to do (particularly tonight) but he can play the ball around well, if a bit too risky at times, and has kept concentration well. Mainly though he's impressed from crosses, I expected him to be a bit of a flapper.
Leading for golden glove 
Good on crosses so far.
With our back 4 now, I think we have reduced the continuos flow of shots
Cool as feck. Almost like he's taking the piss.
We will need to see him more to finally judge but the early signs are really promising.

Could have sat on the goal line playing command and conquer on his iphone tonight.
His nonchalance makes him look like the Berbatov of goalkeepers.
He's not a flapper, which is satisfying as this is what worried me the most upon arrival.
He gives the impression that he's going to make an arse of every kick but that's probably just his style.

This place is going to implode once he concedes a goal
You shouldn't feel bad, I saw him play a fair amount of time and couldn't tell how good he was on the ball, I knew he wasn't bad but I didn't realized how good he was. The one thing I remember is that he is good at starting counter attacks.
Dave hasn't had 2 clean sheets in his first 2 games of the season since being with us, get rid of Dave!
In all seriousness, looks good so far. Will reserve the true judgement when he starts getting some real pressure on a regular basis (some parts of the Tottenham game saw him face this, and he dealt well with it in fairness).

He did face a bit of pressure here, but seemed to keep his cool.
I want to see how he does in the CL game.

There was a backpass in that game where he was daydreaming and reacted really late. It feels like hes a disaster waiting to happen but he does have good starting positions and looks really secure on crosses.
So far so good. He can only get better and if DDG leaves, it's ok if he takes over. He could be a bit lees laid-back imo though
