25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

[HelloCity]

Excellent debut. Very assured and confident.

Dealt with the crosses brilliantly and an outstanding save from a close range volley which may well have changed the course of the game.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Class. What a signing.

 

[Ric]

Brilliant debut. Oozes authority and class.

 

[Trickyblues]

Yeah but he can’t kick a ball like Ederson????

 

[Mr HJ]

No slight against James but boy what a debut. Not just about the world class save at a crucial time it was evident that the confidence he gives his defenders is already a major factor moving forward. The best thing you can say about any player is when they make players around them better versions.

Love that we are seeing Ruben, Kush and Josko celebrating a block again - this is what we need.

Love the big Italian.

 

[TFC]

You'll do for me big man. What a great debut

 

[samuelyeboah]

seemed fine with his feet. not as good as early seasons ederson, but honestly late seasons ederson wasn't as good with his feet and i couldn't tell the difference today

 

[super_city_si]

Wonder if his presence was why Dias looked more like the player he was

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Huge presence in goal. Showed today why he’s the best shot-stopper in the world.

Yeah pal that save on the Mbuemo volley was totally ordinary, and can you explain to me what Trafford has shown in the 3 previous games that makes you think he's better for our style of play ? are you saying he's better on the ball ? because I didn't see that at all.

A couple of months ago Trafford was ‘that kid at Burnley who used to play for us’. Since signing, he’s rise has been stratospheric in the eyes of some. Donnarumma is one of, if not the best in the world and we have some pining for a young lad, who has done fuck all in the game. I don’t understand it at all.

Huge presence in goal. Showed today why he’s the best shot-stopper in the world.

In the first half when Mbuemo went through on goal ( he was offside), he had a look at Donna in goal and totally shat his pants firing it miles wide, his presence is indeed massive.

Good debut, but it was pretty shocking seeing the CB take short goal kicks for him.

Clearly Pep doesn’t rate him with his feet if he’s not trusted to play it short, I hope the fanboys stick with him when he gets given that responsibility and looks shaky for 6 months, because it will take time.

Some people are acting like we've signed that Belgian guy the rags signed, not a CL winning, Euro winning GK.

 

[RayCTID]

A steady debut and an important save to keep our noses in front. Napoli is going to be more of a test.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Ederson schmederson.

Told yous it’d be reet.

 

[Mr HJ]

Yes

[SkyBlueFlux]

Good debut, but it was pretty shocking seeing the CB take short goal kicks for him.

Loads of teams have started doing this now, it's not about his kicking, it's just a way of evading the pressure teams are putting on short goal kicks.

 

[Blumooniac]

Cool cat.

 

[Gorbachev]

You can sod your tippy tappy goalkeepers. Give me a Donna everyday of the week.

He was as important as Haalands goals today. What a presence he is inthe box.
