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

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.

Bless.
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.
