Will he want the no.1 spot though? Is that what his goal is? If so let’s start him in the league. By the way - not questioning his attitude as it’s obviously spot on but it’s a big jump from the cups to the league.

Point is if he is content with being a cup keeper then starting him in the PL might be a risk.

 

[::sonny::]

He will never have the chance to be a regular starter because there is no meritocracy and doesn't play the better player

He's got an incredible amount of international caps and kept goal in a World cup final. I'm pretty sure he will be perfectly fine playing the likes of Norwich and Villa.

 

[Relevated]

He's a good backup and should remain as one. When he starts playing often his cracks start to show and boy are they cracks.

 

[Gloccamora]

Best number 2 in the world. Excellent backup.

maybe he feels the pressure being the No1, but i also think he will be average once he is a starter and plays a big amount of games. Not from the start, but at some point he wont be in the same class as now as a backup. I dont think he would be better than current Dave.

I believe in Henderson overtaking the De Gea in the near future though, unless De Gea can put himself together a bit.

 

[el3mel]

We should take the ultimate decision and bench De Gea for him, if the latter's form keeps on as it has been recently.

Should've been done weeks ago. DDG was literally throwing balls into his own net and Romero still couldn't get a sniff.

 

[Cutch]

I thought that was an incredible save in the first half. Love Romero, what a backup keeper he is

 

[tentan]

Should start on Tuesday

 

[SATA]

That coming out of his box and clearing the danger with a strong header away. Nice bit of play and refreshing to see. De Gea wouldn’t have done that

 

[FrankDrebin]

Has anyone said that he's actually a really good back up goalie and for anyone else he'd be in most starting 11's ?
No,thought not.

Wat?

 

[DoomSlayer]

Ole said it's good that Romero is putting pressure on De Gea, creates a competitive environment. Who knows, we might actually see him get the chance he deserves at this point.

 

[croadyman]

I honestly think he deserves an opportunity and there is no doubt he commands the box and distributes better than De Gea

 

[Bristol_Red_87]

Get him in.

Even if it just serves as a kick up the arse for DDG.

Commands his box much better than De Gea and at the moment at least, is as good a shot stopper.

Distribution can be shaky, but its hardly like De Gea is up there with the Ederson's and Alisson's of this World!

 

[manunited1919]

Ole said it's good that Romero is putting pressure on De Gea, creates a competitive environment. Who knows, we might actually see him get the chance he deserves at this point.

Ole should have already given him a chance. DDG has been allergic to clean sheets all season, while Romero has so many clean sheets. You can excuse DDG by saying he faces tougher competition. But I also think Romero’s command of his area makes it easier for the defense in front of him to play better.

 

[Cliche Guevara]

Give him January.

 

[2 man midfield]

Should've been done weeks ago. DDG was literally throwing balls into his own net and Romero still couldn't get a sniff.

The Arsenal game was the last straw for me. He's not the only one at fault for their second goal, but it's yet another example of weak-as-piss keeping. Give him a rest, even if it's just to take him out of the firing line for a bit.

 

[Red00012]

Presume he’ll start Tuesday .

 

[led_scholes]

Since he arrived here, i think he has had a better career than DDG. He was the main gk in our europa league campaign, which is arguably our most important trophy since 2013.

In general, it is not completely outrageous to say that he has similar career, albeit with less money, with DDG. DDG has a more prestigious league trophy and 2 domestic cups, but Romero has a far more successful international career with one world cup final, 2 copa americas and one gold medal in the Olympics. Also, i think the press in Argentina never "attack" him like the do (did) with DDG, so I guess that' s a win too.

 

[SadlerMUFC]

He's a good backup and should remain as one. When he starts playing often his cracks start to show and boy are they cracks.

And you are basing that assessment from??? Definitely not his time with United. He's been amazing ever since he arrived and already has twice the amount of clean sheets that De Gea does despite only starting a fraction of the games...

From watching him play regularly previously

 

[Jericho]

From watching him play regularly previously

But it can't be based on anything you've seen from him at United in the last 5 years. He's always been decent for us.

 

[SadlerMUFC]

From watching him play regularly previously

So when he was younger and still learning his craft. Got it...

So are you a Sampdoria supporter? Do you usually catch all of their games

 

[Strelok]

I'd start him in the matches with smaller clubs over DDG. In these matches our main threat usually is aerial and he's better in the air or commanding the defence than DDG. There would not be many shots to stop as well. And frankly DDG has made a lot of erratic mistakes in those matches, to a point we look like we're gonna concede whenever the opponent hoofing the ball in, which is a lot. Atm he seems to have safer hands than DDG imo.

 

[Giggsy9099]

Ole should just grow a pair and start Romero. What's the worse that can happen? We letting in goals?

 

[Canagel]

Best goalkeeper in the club

 

[Roboc7]

He’d be found out if he played every week, not sure he even wants to be a number one, he’s been a career number two and is very good at it.

 

[Relevated]

But it can't be based on anything you've seen from him at United in the last 5 years. He's always been decent for us.

That's because he's always been a backup but He's also made tiny errors here

 

[P-Nut]

We're so lucky to have him as a back up keeper, he's better than most keeps in the league

 

[Mike Smalling]

Good to hear the commentators praise Romero during the game. Outstanding professional.

 

[TMDaines]

34 in 53!

 

[Virror]

Came off his line plenty to stop chances from even happening.

 

[Rajma]

Should be starting imo I like how proactive and calculated he’s when coming off his line. Takes a lot of pressure from our CBs.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Came off his line plenty to stop chances from even happening.

Watching tonight just makes you realise how little DDG comes out of his box.

I was caught off guard every time I saw that purple shirt somewhere I didn't expect

 

[charlenefan]

When does De Gea ever do that? Super performance from Romero that tonight, one of his best in a United shirt

 

[charlenefan]

I know right, it was like a throw back to the days of having VDS in goal where chances were sniffed out before they were even chances

 

[Velvet Revolver]

For our style of play and with relative less mobile CB's Romero is best suited. I know its not popular opinion, But i'd like to see him given some starts in PL.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

The best GK presently at the club just now

Never ever puts a foot wrong and always there when we need him.
