Great save he made. Looks like we have a very capable number 2 who is likely better suited to Emery’s desired style of play.

Bernd Leno: Talk of the Show
Look good some important saves at 0-0
Country: Canada
Good saves, made the difference at 0-0. Looked a bit lost on a couple balls into the box but not bad.
Country: England
Yeah and after the early report of him not looking good in training I was really worried (even though I shouldn't really give importance to rumors) but he is generally quite solid.

Woah, Leno looks almost as good as Bellerin. What a player.

His time has come. Can’t wait to see more of him.

Can't make his mind up
Good save, but he had a moment or two that could have cost us on another day. Decent PL debut.

When Cech comes back I home they move Leno further upfield in place of Ramsey. I am pretty sure most unschooled eyes won’t see the difference in our play.

The stone that the builders refuse
Thought he came in yesterday and excellently. Made some big saves and didn't seem phased by the physical approach of Watford. He really kept us in the game during that 2nd 1/2 when Watford had some great chances to score.

Nothing Wrong With Me
He showed his athleticism yesterday, the save, the punches (not all though) and at one point he ran way out to clear, good anticipation. Cech has been good this season and made some important saves but his athleticism is behind him. Leno will improve with a run in the side, coming in as No2 when you want to be No1 will always increase pressure, I feel some of his errors have come about due to that.
If Cech is out for three weeks then Leno will have max 3 matches to stake his claim -- Qarabag on Oct. 4, Fulham on Oct. 7, and Leicester on Oct. 22. Due to the international break he won't get too many matches.
Basically, it looks like we may have an increasingly intense competition between the two of them leading up the Liverpool match on Nov. 3. I wouldn't be surprised we have no idea whether Cech or Leno will start which of the three between the Leicester and Liverpool matches.
However, starts against Liverpool, and if they play really well, will probably be our new #1.

Cech is old, will take him a while to get fit again.

Thought he has a good game, decision making on point and quick off the line
Tonight we saw a glimpse of the kind of goalie Leno could be - not so much of his passing/technical skills but he put in a very solid performance in terms of box control and shot stopping. Cech would have been impressed.

Yep
I understand why people have doubts about him, but it’s important to restate that couple years ago he was rated higher than Ter Stegan. He lost his way, hopefully he gets back to where he should be with us

Cech has been good for the most part of this season but I'm still happy Leno is starting now. Needs to cement his place in the starting line up now with clean sheets and good build-up play from the back. No way Cech gets back in if he continues like this.
Haven’t been able to watch us much lately but given the replies here I’m guessing he hasn’t been that amazing?

Has been very good overall.
Well it's great to see we got 2 keepers are on form unlike last season. The new GK coach should take alot of credit.
Anyone else reckon the defence and midfield are more confident receiving the ball with Leno in goals due to his better distribution and decision making than Cech. Might just be because we played Fulham but can't help but feel that today they were more willing to receive the ball than they have been in the past.
