I was wrong about this guy. Good 'keeper.
Rock.
He should start in the final.
If De Gea leaves I wouldn't be too fussed if he was our GK. You don't need a great goalkeeper to build a great team.
If he wasn't our calmest player then he must have been a close 2nd.
Thanks for keeping us in the competition all the way to the final Romero, but now I think it's time for DDG to step into the picture again. We cannot be stubborn even though Romero have done an excellent job. We need our very finest pieces when everything is on stake, and I mean everything. Romero can get a couple of PL games instead. It would also be great for DDG's morale to see how important he really is to us.
Dependable again today.
Love him. Great keeper.
Deserves to play in the final and hopefully we win and he lifts the trophy.

Key save at the beginning of the game, then few more in the 2nd half.
Goalkeeper department is buckling under amount of quality.

He's always looked so calm and composed. Think that unsettles some of our fans for some reason and they think that demeanor means he has a mistake in him.
Brill temperament when the rest around him are panicking....
Good performance. It's nice to have a dependable second keeper! We've always done ok but he seems like one of the better ones we've had
Romero has done brilliantly to get us to the final. It feels harsh to drop him for De Gea.
Composed and solid as he's been all year. Great #2.
Don't know what more as a keeper he has to do to warrant a starting spot in the final. He absolutely deserves it.
Does the fact Jose has played him most EL is due to him showing he has faith that he can be our goalkeeper next season.
I personally think he has been solid. It's obvious he isn't a better shot stopper than De Gea but his overall game is impressively consistent and he looks quite imposing amongst other players.

Deserved a clean sheet today. Could do absolutely nothing for the goal.
Funny thing is in the warmups, he had a shot which he tried to save, it went right through him and he was holding his hand. Then his kicking to the GK coach was all over the place. Then he flapped at a cross from the coach.

Southampton 0:0 Man Utd
Its strange, I dont know if its because the game really doesnt matter, but I've never been more confident in a goalkeeper saving a penalty. Love him.
He's great.
Give another pen away. Get his confidence up for next week.
Said it in the other thread. There isn't much between our two keepers.
Having said it in another thread doesn't mean it makes sense. De Gea is easily one of the best goalkeepers in the world alongside Neuer, Romero isn't close to that level.
Except for several years of De Gea making world class saves and saving us from countless losses, sure, not much between them.
Would give him the number 1 spot next season. Flawless
You were wrong when you said it in the other thread too. One is widely recognised as one of if not the best goalkeepers in the world, the other is a relative journeyman. The difference in class and talent between the two is huge.
Journeyed all the way to the World Cup final. Not bad.
Aye, especially considering the long list of great goalkeepers Argentina has to choose from
There really is much between them. Romero is a class backup, though.
If we strengthen in the right areas, I don't think GK will be too much of an issue. Romero is a decent GK and if he's not having to pull of miraculous saves constantly because the defence is shite then he'll be ok. Even this season DDG hasn't needed to make as many heroic saves. It will also requite much greater attacking play because attack is the best form of defence.
I'm sure I could come up with a fair list of journeymen footballers who have played in a world cup final. I obviously won't though because it would take effort and there's football on.
It doesn't matter who is recognized for what. They have both performed at a top level this year.
What happened several years ago is irrelevant to the form of the present. Romero has been every bit as good as De Gea throughout the year.
Which is why we don't judge players based on one year, or without taking the opposition they faced into account.
Not true. Keepers gain and lose form on a regular basis, so its pointless to evaluate them by name or what they did several years ago. Look at the present and you'll see there isn't much between them.
You actually do. Nobody gives two fecks about what happened years ago as it isn't indicative of what sort of players they are in the present.
Have a feeling he will start remaining games in the league, DDG will start in the final.
If De Gea is off I don't think he will play again.
So presumably if you'd taken over at Chelsea this year you'd have sold Hazard and Costa off the back of their awful season the year before and replaced them with a load of Leicester players instead?
