A 2nd choice keeper is never going to be a real superstar. But i would want a bit better than this lad. Although he was a hero in a big shoot out one time. That is always mentioned. Apart from that, I stand by what i say.

Main thing though is that he's a fairly competent keeper who is willing to play second to fiddle to tibo who is obviously first choice and barring injury that's not changing any time soon
 
Cabellero's signing is great.
A good second choice keeper who has Premier League plus Cup experience.
Only downside is that he isn't homegrown but I'd rather him than John Ruddy...

 
what a bargain he's been. he's a really good keeper. it's impressive how he becomes a sweeper keeper when we're in danger, i like it. sometimes i do wish courtois would sweeper keep a bit more often.

Agree and a penalty saver too. Handy to have in other cup matches domestic or UCL if they go to penalties.

 
I was actually pretty confident going into penalties ( which never usually happens ) because Caballero is so good at saving them. The guy has an amazing record in penalty shoot-outs.

 
Were it not for rudiger I would say our most dependable summer signing.

He was superb, yesterday could have been much worse without him. Thanks Willy!

 
I wouldn´t mind seeing him as our first team keeper, if TC moves to Real Madrid, as some expect him to do so.

Caballero is a good backup, but no way is he good enough to play for a top team as number 1. He would concede so many goals because of how often he panics from set pieces.

that is crazy talk. He is a good shot stopper, but he is pretty poor at everything else like distribution, and commanding his area. 

You could sense the uncertainty in defence today because he is very eccentric. 

He's a good back up keeper, but I don't think he is better than most of the 1st choice keepers in the league.

 
The chances of me having an aneurysm if this guy is  between the sticks on a regular basis are extremely high.

 
he creates trouble for us, then saves us from trouble with great saves lol. definitely a rollercoaster ride with willy in goal. 

 
He messes up some basics like catching the ball and punching away from goal but makes incredible saves and also a good penalty stopper. 

I think the defense didn't help him today as he saw way more action than Tibo does usually.
