Yeah same for me. Happy with Onana's performance today. Also played big part in our goal of course.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Motm for me. Did for some reason feel 100% confident that he would save it when Foden had his one on one chance in the first half.
Feels like he's growing into being a solid keeper for us, does need to polish a a few things though.

Good distribution and shot stopping today. Generally still too much risk involved with him being our keeper. For every 75 yard hollywood pass that happens to connect with one of our attackers, there are at least two needlessly risky scenarios involving him coming out too far and paying the price for it. That's even before we get to the endless back passes between keeper and fullbacks that are probabilistically destined to result in an oppo goal at some point.
I don't think De Gea makes the pass to Bruno that ultimately leads to Rashford's goal.
Onana's long ball to Bruno was phenomenal.
Really good performance. We don’t think about him when games are completed which is a compliment
I agree he wouldn't have made that pass for our goal however he would've saved Foden's second with his feet.
Being United's goalkeeper has got to be one of the most difficult jobs in football.
We will see a even better player once we sign the correct profile of players in defence and midfield. Players who he can connect with in the build up phase. But even then he was exceptional for periods of the game and his contributions will be more telling once we become more dominant as a team.
Really good performance from him. Maybe could've got down a bit quicker for their 2nd goal, but on the whole, his calmness when faced with pressure from City forwards, as well as general distribution and aerial command of the box was superb.
He was man of the match for me, had some shoddy passing errors where he was just giving it to city but he was also playing some killer passes at other times and for once showed what a weapon he could be.
Played well. Easily our best player and the difference between conceeding 3 and 5
Excellent turnaround after a rubbish start.
Maybe Amrabat also just needs a bit of time?

One of his best performances today. I thought his passing in the first half was top. Made some decent saves
He won’t get it as he won’t be here for the start of next season.Excellent turnaround after a rubbish start.

The best shot stoppers save the 2nd goal but it's clear that's not his biggest strength (we ask him to make such a high number of saves too) and in the other areas of the game I thought this was one of his better performances for United. He played some terrific passes in the 1st half, either going more direct (e.g. for the goal) or just through the City attackers in to our midfield, he was more imposing in one-on-ones than he has been previously and he was strong at dealing with crosses into the box. If we build a better team where we're not expecting him to be a De Gea type shot stopper, Ederson definitely isn't that good at saving shots, then he could be really important for us.
We’re well over half way through the season and this hasn’t cost us yet. I think the reality here is that he’s a good judge about when to come a long way out and when to stay put. Which means they aren’t “needlessly risky” scenarios at all. It’s a calculated risk, with an obvious upside. And his ability to do this is one of the reasons he’s highly rated as a goalkeeper.
Finally showing why we replaced a past it de gea with him
Has come into good form recently and for next season he needs a settled/strong defence in front of him and midfield that are competitive.
Almost flawless with his shot stopping, catching and aerial claims. Great ball for Bruno for Rashford's goal. Poor for the 2nd goal and then some iffy passing later on.
Overall a good game but he definitely has some fundamental issues with his feet movement and positioning. Shame as it was such a fine game from him before the 2nd goal.

You wanna try being the manager!

Heh.
Been quietly finding his footing after a disastrous start to the season.
Kept us in the game with his composure on the ball and a great pass for the first goal. Didn't make the save on the 2nd. Sort of classic Onana. Level below the Ederson/Allison types.
Flawless display while conceding that second goal? Not for me. Good ball for the goal, some very very good saves, but once again a shot goes through his hand.
And maybe it's just me but feels like he kinda has weak hands. Lots of goals where he gets a hand on it but it still goes through.
Haven't many of these been shots along the ground, where he just doesn't get down quick enough? I think it's more a question of agility than strong hands.
That could certainly be a part of it. Not getting down fast enough so he isn't set while attempting to save and doesn't get good contact on the ball.
I swear they keep inventing new stats. What is a high claim exactly? Do you just have to catch a cross, or does it have to be contested somehow?
Anyway, he did well dealing with crosses yesterday. Encouraging performance, even if the second goal could maybe have been saved.
He's facing so many shots a week. We conceded 16.4 per game in the PL. Only West Ham, Luton, and Sheffield United concede more.
I think it's more than a little harsh and unreasonable to take him to task for the second goal. I wouldn't expect any goalkeeper to save that. If he had, it'd be lauded as a fantastic save.
GK sorted for the next 10 years. What a keeper.
Credit where it's due, he has been excellent for a few games now.
Think his shot stopping technique looks a bit weird but when he's pro active like yesterday he's a much better keeper. Hope he grows more and more from this.

Certainly had one of his better games yesterday,just wish we had seen this version in the Champions League group stages. We would then have comfortably finished second behind Bayern
Quite a few called Onana a shite goalkeeper and wrote him off after a few months. Those people are going to micro analyse anything Onana does for when he doesnt do something perfect and blame Onana. That is easier than to just admit they were wrong about Onana and that they shouldnt have written off a new goalkeeper after only a few months of Premier League football with a injured and terrible defense in front of that keeper.
No, it's not. People that have made a decision on him back in November because of his CL clangers, will not be accepting anything less than him turning into prime Manuel Neuer, and even then, there will be an aspect to criticize him.
Would have thought it was one of the more self explanatory stats. It's the number of times a keeper catches a high ball inside his box. That was one of DDG's more annoying weaknesses, so it's great to see such solid evidence of Onana already being a big upgrade here.
He has improved significantly in recent weeks, to a point where a goalkeeper will definitely not be a position we will try to address in the Summer even if we dismiss ETH.
