Does make me nervous as he's usually got an error in him but he's another player improving under RDZ

B-right-on

This.
Love De Zerbi ball but, boy does it give my nerves a good going over.
Full credit to RDZ and the players who have the utter confidence to have their foot on the ball as Mo Salah is running at them full pelt. Me? I'd have hoofed I down the other end the second I could.

I don't pretend to know anything about this kind of thing, but I would say ALL goalkeepers have an error in them – it's just that, unlike literally ANY other player on the pitch – their mistakes are the ones that lead directly to the goals. Therefore, they get the most stick for a defeat/goal being conceded. I know it's their job to keep the ball out of the net, but they are often not solely responsible for that happening.
I do agree that he has made errors, but then look at Lloris the other day. And, while De Gea made an outstanding save last night (of which Big Bob has too) and he has 'saved' (pardon the pun) MUFC literally many times over the years, he has still been known to have a shocker.

He's a cracking keeper and brilliant at Zerbing. One day, we'll look back at him as one of the very best we've had.

This.
Last weekend De Gea made a terrible mistake and got both barrels from the pundits, last night he pulled off a world class save and was swooned over.
The life of a keeper.

He’s an amazing keeper, future Spanish number one and easily the best goalkeeper we’ve ever had. Keepers will make mistakes, especially with how we play, but this thread title is a bit of a joke.

I am stunned there are people who don't think he's at that level. Madness.

I think it is probably fair to say that Sanchez makes more errors than the average PL goalkeeper, and when he does they're often spectacular and chaotic. But equally they come about because of the passing and high-pressure style we play, its part of the game.
And beyond this, he is such an excellent shot stopper and has great command of his box. He has saved many more points than he has lost.
But his spectacular errors are probably the reason why the bigger teams haven't been sniffing around him. So that's the positive spin.

I don't have that impression of Sanchez at all.

Big Bob is getting better and better, quality keeper, more than happy with him

Why oh why oh why?
He's already Spanish number one, it's just that he sits on the bench whilst One-eyed Simon (number 23) plays...
Nope. It's not fair to say that. Do you have any evidence to back that up. It's now what I observe.
And as for specacular errors. Could you list the most recent say, five, this season?

Funny to see his 'tip round the post' save at Anfield in the highlights package on Saturday, then seeing this thread again.

Every goal Bazunu concedes is insane, they've been incredibly generous there just saying 1 goal was an error. Presumably that's his pathetic attempt at stopping Lallana's header against them but there are probably a dozen goals this season you'd look at and be reminded of Maty Ryan after his form had fallen off.
