The YouTube videos tried to warn us. So many howlers.
Did we lose Henderon's phone number or something? Why is he not playing? At this point there is not much rope left, time to make some drastic decisions.
It’s not just the howlers. It’s that he’s adding nothing of note at all. You can live with the odd howler if he’s not letting in two more goals in every single game, but he seems lost in goal.I will go against the grain here and say that while he had a terrible game in the UCL once again, we need to give him time and I believe he will be a good goalkeeper for us. A ball playing goalkeeper and playing out from the back comes with risks like these. I remember Alisson and Ederson making similar if not worse howlers too when they first joined their clubs (though he is nowhere near their level at the moment). The hope is that it happens so infrequently that the advantages of playing out from the back outweigh the negatives.
I love De Gea but even so, he was making these kinds of suicidal passes with more regularity last season and was very poor in possession. The difference is that he got bailed out by our defence last season. I do believe though that De Gea remains a better shot stopper than Onana, which is probably something he will need to improve. It might be worth dropping Onana for a game or two to take him out of the firing line, but I don't think ETH will do that.
When? Apart from a couple of times in the first 10 games, he moves the ball to the full back and kicks long. His long kicks are more accurate but I’m not sure we’ve scored a goal from any of them.This will always be a risk. I'm not overly bothered, I think we gain more from how he helps us play out from the back
This runs counter to everything we've seen so far at United so not sure where you're getting this from, beyond his performance in a weaker league under less pressure.This will always be a risk. I'm not overly bothered, I think we gain more from how he helps us play out from the back
Raya or Sanchez - both proven Prem keepers - but ETH goes for the player he's had before, yet again.Not good enough. Several of those goals De Gea saves, and he was so bad we needed an upgrade. Onana is NOT an upgrade its clear by now.
We should have gone for Raya instead. United is clearly to big a step for Onana.
Palace actually - and injured.......again.He's at Forest mate.
We can't even play from the back without Martinez. He was kicking it long and failing every attempt last night. United should've gone for Yan Sommer and invested the money wasted on Onana elsewhere.This will always be a risk. I'm not overly bothered, I think we gain more from how he helps us play out from the back
I wouldn't say his long kicks are "more accurate", mostly on par with DDG. Which is not a good sign at all, tbf.When? Apart from a couple of times in the first 10 games, he moves the ball to the full back and kicks long. His long kicks are more accurate but I’m not sure we’ve scored a goal from any of them.
His positioning at Ajax was suspect and even at Inter it wasn't great.The way he moves across the line is the same as if you put an outfield player as the goalkeeper. Even basics like shifting your weight before moving and being the right place look like a tough ask right now.
Is this lack of confidence or him at his best?
Long kicks are just about as low percentage as it gets. You can have the most accurate kick in the world, but a lot of the time you’re relying on the forward players to win a 50/50. There has definitely been more moments where he’s kicked long to Rashford and started an attack.I wouldn't say his long kicks are "more accurate", mostly on par with DDG. Which is not a good sign at all, tbf.
Are you? He's never been a great keeper. These signings by ETH of his Dutch safety blanket players will be why he gets sacked. Reya was available for half the price and is premier league proven and now Arsenel no 1.DDG had a poor start and Fergie moved him out of the headlights. ETH needs to do the same. I'm sure Onana is better than this but now he's in a tough spot and needs dropping to collect his head.

Based on his shot dlstipping performances for us so far and his howlers, that is incredibly naive.This will always be a risk. I'm not overly bothered, I think we gain more from how he helps us play out from the back
That video is now ten minutes longerThe YouTube videos tried to warn us. So many howlers.
Taibi? That's harsh. Onana has proven pedigree at least even at a smaller league
The problem is we shouldn't be letting managers spend that amount on these players because we're 'backing' them.We take 50m.60m 70m 80m players and turn them into free transfers ,its what we do.
We are jinxed, cursed no other words explain this.
You mean keep the opposition in their own half ?Now we need to change the entire defence to complement his supposed skillset
Surely someone on that training pitch shifts the entire focus to defence, being compact, defending as a unit just like Inter Milan did last season. If we're going to persist with this clown, let's at least make it difficult for teams to get shots near him.
This will always be a risk. I'm not overly bothered, I think we gain more from how he helps us play out from the back
Probably doesn't help that there wasn't a red shirt within 4 yards of himYou mean keep the opposition in their own half ?
Anderson scored from 12yds for Palace
