25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

Several good games is a very small sample to decide whether it's close or not between them.

Donna is top 3 in the world. Trafford hopes he can go to the WC as England's 2nd or 3rd choice. Hopefully it's close between him and Pickford.

I honestly think he is already better (and a damn sight calmer) than Pickford. At least with out hammering of Chelsea the theory that we can only play our very best when Trafford plays has been put to bed. We are fortunate to have two such talented players, even if its just for the immediate season.

I hope he starts for England soon, but experience is a big thing in WC games, so I think Pickford is a guaranteed starter for now. If Pickford has a shocker in one of the first games there, then Tuchel might give a chance to another keeper.

I agree Donna is the best GK itw but Trafford is not that far away. He might be a second choice at this WC but after that Pickford will be too old and Trafford will become England's no.1 choice easily, starting the next Nation's League in 2027.
 
Looks a bag of nerves after that fuck up, 2 games in row costing us, can’t afford those sort of howlers.
Trafford probably deserves it now, and Donnarumma needs to pray we get the win today after that.

But, but, but... Trafford made a mistake against Spurs when he was settling in 8 months ago!

Pff. Donnarumma's feet were always going to cost us at some point.

DonnaTrauma.He's shit!

He choked vs Real Madrid, he's choked vs Arsenal.

Only won a CL because had a 5-0 lead and I bet one of our 70 year old fans could win a CL with a 5-0 lead!
 
Surprised this hasn't happened sooner though

Even before today I'm always nervous when the ball is played back to him.
 
Sometimes been so called world class maybe not enough, the team is the sum of its parts and Trafford is a better fit, said before the game he’s shite a crosses and terrible with his feet and that nowadays counts a lot more than just shot stopping

He seems a good guy and is capable of amazing saves, but fucking hell, there's so much more to goalkeeping than just that.

Trafford is PL level at everything. Donnarumma isn't.

This.

I really like Gigi and he seems like such a lovely bloke but it’s night and day who the best keeper for City is

Arsenal had nothing besides corners and Donna coulda hoofed it but tried to be Eddie and he's not!

DonnaTrauma can't do it in big games.. we saw what happened vs Real.. we're seeing what happened vs Arsenal.

We need a keeper that can do it in big games.
 
Donnarumma clearly needs a rest from the 1st team. Been incredible for us overall, but unforgivable mistake in a title deciding game, shaky recently.
