Great save to win the shootout, I know he hasn't actually made a save in 90 minutes yet but the Serbian Buffon is definitely going to be a club legend.

180 minutes.

I meant as in he hasn't had to make a save in any game he's played so far apart from the penalty shootout (not in 90 minutes)

Ok, but he played against Sheffield Utd and tonight, so 180 mins. But I understand that you mean in each of the games.

A good start. Before we start overhyping the lad though, he has not yet had to play out with his feet under a press. I think he'll be fine but one swallow and all that.

Confident tonight and that is what the defence needs right now

Too early to say as he's had so little to do in these games.

We will probably have to sub him on for shootouts when he doesn't start though, despite saving his last one Sanchez's record with penalties is very bad.

Argos right. Nothing to do vs the Blades. One simple save in normal time tonight.

Made an error on a punch for Evertons second too.

Now Wolves should ask some questions of him.

I live in Serbia and I do keep an eye on the domestic league, albeit not very closely apart from the big two.

To be honest I didn't know much about him while he was here, he was mostly a backup keeper for the national U21 side, never really seen any remarks on him being considered as a top talent.

It all changed when he went to MLS and absolutely smashed it there. I remember some comments from Tim Howard and Brad Friedel that were nothing but full of praise. So I'm glad he's got the chance and hopefully he's gonna make use of it.

Just make this spotty kid our number one. more composed than Sanchez and Kepa in one body. 

Its only 2 games, so a very small data set, but our defenders looked a lot calmer with him behind them, passing to him, receiving passes rom him etc.

early days and rarely been challenged but great save for the penalty and almost saved the first one too.

Looks very composed with the ball at his feet so far too, huge bonus. 

Unless he turns out to be a god awful shot stopper in the upcoming games in think Sanchez will struggle to get his place back.

I love how he thought there were more pens after his save and only realised when he saw the players were charging him! Legend already!

Not going to get carried away with him just yet. So far so good, well done to him, really stepped up against Newcastle. 

Need to see a larger sample of games before I say he can replace Sanchez just yet. We'll see how he gets on in the next few. 

This kid so good @Valerie's heart is feeling alive again for the first time since 2009.

To be fair, legend Rob Green made my heart feel a little less numb...

He'll be wearing a Wolves kit, I can only accept a Chelsea kit!

You're two-timing Chelsea with a Wolves yob. Shame on you.

Wait til I tell you I've had a fling with a West Ham supporter (but he claimed his brother supported Chelsea). Admittedly, I still atone for that one.

Looks a decent keeper. Good signing, I think he should stay our number 1.

I thought he was sh*t from corners. Didn't know when and when not to come off his line. He was partly responsible for their first goal. He went to come for the cross, but stopped. Gave himself no chance to position himself to make a save.

Refreshing to see a CFC keeper not dither with the ball at his feet. Made a couple of decent saves and doesn't give me a heart attack. He is now our No. 1 - no question.

No way you’re putting any of that on him. 

Until he's played with our defence more, he'll, not realise how sh*t they are, and he must come for everything, as they'll just stand there and watch.

I think the sh*t from corners point is a good one Scott. I don't watch much MLS but I don't see many corners being slung in. It seems much more ball to feet than high crosses. His timing is certainly miles off and is disinclined to come and command. Hopefully this just a matter of getting used to the team, although nowadays many keepers that believe that they are reaction savers, don't seem to come and collect and bank on reaction saving attempts on target. This game should already tell him that this strategy won't necessarily work here.
