I know he's a Swansea player but I think he deserves a mention, was really impressed with him last night, he'd be a perfect 2nd keeper for us

I thought the save from Yaya's free kick was exceptional, although he was slightly out of position the way he clawed the ball back off the line was top notch.

He was excellent

Good game from him.

I reckon he's going to be one of those guys who commits howlers every now and then but who saves enough other stuff to make up for it.

Legend at Utrecht, absolutely loved the guy there. Felt sorry for him last night, but nice to see people give him credit

I couldn't see him doing much wrong to be honest. I feel like I should know his name from somewhere too.

he's the back up to Stekelenburg in the Dutch national team.

Technically very good and superior to the one from Stretford.

Though many have been saying he should be given the number 1 shirt, or at least be given more opportunities

Pulled off a couple of decent saves. His kicking was really bad though!

Just one game, I bet that De Gea has even looked good in one game.

I thought the commentators went ott in the 1st half, he kicked into touch nearly everytime he went long! i wouldve expected him to save everything he did in the 1st half!

Looked to me like he was kicking to a man (or hoping to) rather than simply hitting it up field. Fits with the way they wanted to play.

Only joined them last week and would barely have known the four in front of him - hugely impressive debut whichever way you look at it.

In terms of shot stopping, great game. but his kicking, oh dear.

He had a really good game.
The rags spent something like 16 million on de Gea. Vorm, who cost only a few million already looks the superior keeper.

Yes his kicking was poor but my God he made up for it with his saves. The claw back of Yayas' free kick and the double save from Aguero then an offside Yaya was outstanding. He really impressed me but he's going to have to have many more games like that to keep them in the Premier League

he was on vorm last night...

You could be right but any idea which game it was ??
