slowandlow Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Two or three routine saves and his kicking is still awful Need better next year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midian Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Great saves today but his distribution is awful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Looking much better than he did. Still punches way to much for me and I still struggle to see how he is any better than Gollini. Maybe he will get better but one things for sure he will never make it at Man U. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2017 He's kept a lot of clean sheets lately but I can't see any of that is down to him being better than he was. Still stays on his line way way too much and his kicking is horrible. Made a couple of smart saves yesterday but I think you would have said he should have done better if he had let in any of them.

I said similar in the reaction thread. Wigan had the better of the possession, but from the highlights their best chance was from Jedinak's sloppy backpass. The other efforts were either long range or from tight angles, which you would hope most half decent goalkeepers would save. I am pleased that things have got better for the lad, hopefully he is getting his confidence together and will finish the season strongly with us. However, I would definitely be looking for a better goalkeeper next season. A new GK, a new CB, new DM are the three priorities for me in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good keepers aren't supposed to stand out, in fairness. They need to do what they're supposed to do and not make mistakes. You can't really ask for much more than that, especially at this level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 NiCe to see Johnstone way ahead in the official website polling for yesterday's man of the match with 45% , next is James Chester on 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bruce would be looking for an experienced keeper anyway in the summer - Johnstone was always going to be a stop gap until then . He will probably be looking to become United number 2 next season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2017 He is miles from being good enough for the Man Utd number 2... he probably wouldn't even be our number 1 if we had anyone vaguely better. He's done well recently and yesterday pulled off some smart saves, and I like that he seems like a trier. He could drop to league 1 right now and be a decent number 1, but even at our level he needs to improve in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2017 Glad to hear he had a good game but don't want any talk of him being here next season. He'd cost us loads as he's coming from Man Utd and he's not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho rates him hiGhly and signed him up on a new contract so clearly he thinks he has something , I remember seeing Jose talking about Johnstone when he agreed to let him hIm come here for experience and I was expecting something very special . sadly he's turned out to be something of a damp squib but united made clear when he came that there was no chance of them selling him so we can relax. Jose Mourinho said: "Sam is a goalkeeper with great potential. He is a very professional young man with a great attitude to the game. He has progressed immensely even during my short time at the club. I am delighted he has committed his future to Manchester United." http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2016/Oct/Goalkeeper-Sam-Johnstone-signs-new-Manchester-United-deal.aspx?AL Edited March 19, 2017 by Eastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to get this position right in the summer, and for me that means taking no chances, and no gambles on youth, especially not expensive ones.

The main thing is he is not going to be here - we need and we will get a far more exoerienced keeper. Edited March 20, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Argentine stopper has three offers on the table including the chance for him to return home with Boca Juniors. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2748469/manchester-united-transfer-news-sergio-romero/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
