25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Sorry Gigi but you're fired!

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Poor goal kick gets Bastoni sent off

 

[bluethrunthru]

I'd imagine everyone on here will, at the end of 20256 have the same number of appearances at a World Cup Finals competition as Donnarumma

 

[PoshIsMyHero]

Some performance from him last night . A one man show. Of course the doubters online will see what they want to see.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Couple of potentially hairy moments but ultimately another very solid display from the big man.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Proper hairy first half, not dealing with crosses and that weird hesitation in sweeping when he was basically already there with some unhelpful passing out from the back. Solid second half though. Good save from cucurella, straight at him but that's because of good positioning and dealt with that Palmer freekick really well, didn't second guess it and good hands. Will undoubtedly be targetted aerially next week, got to be ready for it. Huge game needed.

 

[skillman]

Solid again today. Few good saves. He’s that good he makes tricky saves look routine.

Did well on crosses too and reading of the game a few times.

 

[Ken92]

HE is pretty nervy with his feet ,makes some very weird decisions ,but definetly can make saves.

 

[jamielowndes]

Nothing worrying with the feet (you know what you're getting), but there was one high ball that he had no excuse for not catching. You know the one.

Some huge saves though, and can't really complain with a clean sheet away.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Solid again today. Few good saves. He’s that good he makes tricky saves look routine.

Did well on crosses too and reading of the game a few times.

Thought the opposite. Proper nervy performance from him. Flapping at crosses in the first half and hesitating to deal with the ball over the top in the second.

Good save against Cucurella though.

 

[merz]

shaky first half like the rest of the team. very solid second half and some good saves

 

[dadnlad]

shaky first half like the rest of the team. very solid second half and some good saves

We did piss about in some sections of first half

 

[decmancity]

Very fortunate to not be booked (again) but that save in the second half could be the difference if it comes to goal difference

 

[samuelyeboah]

2 great saves in the game from neto and cucurella

 

[PuncturedBicycle]

Good game from him today, those punches still give me the willies though

 

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

He flapped at a couple of crosses yesterday then got angry at the ref for not getting a free kick. Could have been another booking. Don't understand why he would complain about a non existent foul. For such a big man, he should own the 6 yard box and anything that comes into it - high or low.

 

[Saddleworth2]

I think it’s pretty close now between the two of them. On form over the last couple of months I think James just edges it. Thought Donna was pretty nervy yesterday albeit he made a couple of decent saves.

 

[PoshIsMyHero]

Not sure i agree on any nerves. Punches were fine for me.
I thought he was great
Strong save at nil all and brilliant goalkeeping for the save in the 2nd half.

 

[RayCTID]

Donnarumma is still first choice and is the better keeper out of the two but I wouldn't want to give away Trafford for peanuts either and does provide healthy competition.

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.
