Agree with the De Gea stuff. His shot stopping had long declined and he was guilty of numerous costly howlers.
However those shot stopping stats for Onana should really factor in the fact he faces more shots than most keepers due to the incompetency ahead of him. And most keepers can make saves. But it’s not just Onanas howlers, he’s also let in several goals he could have not let in if he had positioned himself better or at least given himself a better chance of saving. I think of the Bayern goal, the Forest goal (at OT) and in general he’s just very poor at coming off his line making himself big, closing angles etc. something de Gea excelled at for years before his decline.
Degea was terrible in his last few seasons and Onanas been a mediocre replacement when you look at everything.
DDG was good at closing angles, but he did not excel at making himself big, quite the opposite in fact, he shied away from physical contact at every opportunity.
The stats do reflect the difficulty of the chances faced. Onana has made mistakes and there are some goals you could say, yeah, he should have done better there. The problem with him is this trade off between elite shot stopping and his overall contribution to the team in terms of commanding his box, which he hasn't done. Sweeping, which has been less than expected. And his ball playing ability, which also hasn't been as effective as had been expected. In a high functioning team he's not going to be as exposed to the high volume of chances against he has been and his strengths would be more on show.
All in, his overall game hasn't been anywhere near as good as what should be expected. I'm not going to lie I expected his sweeping and cross claiming to be better. L But, this idea that his shot stopping has been a massive downgrade on the previous keeper is utter nonsense. There are some quite obvious fundamental looking flaws with his footwork and diving technique, but leaving that aside.
There are also lot of factors that will affect his performances levels, changing defence, settling in, confidence etc.
Confidence and concentration are the big ones for me. He seems to concentrate more on watching the ball and is not controlling his own positioning and movement to react to where the ball is going until it's too late.
But also as a keeper confidence is crucial, it effects everything, timing and decision making being the most affected. If his confidence is down, his timing is slightly off, even by a fraction of second, he's not moving his feet quick enough or he steps a this is why he seems to dive after the ball has gone past him. He seems like a confident guy outside, but maybe his self confidence is whithering and eating away at him.
