the posts on this thread vs the past month or sl really do sum up emotions of fans on this forum. Absolute rollercoaster
Surely there was another keeper that’s good with the ball at his feet but better at shot stopping than Onana.
Get in there, Onanaman! Amazing save.
Once again he guessed direction of the penalty correctly, that’s a good sign. Today’s was unsaveable, though
Yeah, and he was sweeping in pre-season. After that lob from Dalot's poor pass, he is now glued to his goalline.You're correct I've noticed that myself. But the surprising thing is that at Ajax I saw him sweep up often, even in the Champions league.
So happy for him. Also in the last few games he clearly lifted his form and he got rewarded not only with a pen save but a bloody good one. Also had 2 top saves last night. He needs to work on his kicking but overall I like what I'm seeing.
Yeah, agreed. He has a good throw on him as well, goes really long.His kicking is his best attribute, he being told to lump it evidently because we have nobody capable of playing out to or receiving long balls.
This should improve when we have our best team available.
For the people complaining about him launching it, he is clearly being told to do that. It's the polar opposite of how he plays, so I don't really see why it's being made out as though he's just booting it every time because he wants to.
Made up for him, he needed that.
He read the caf and realised he could just do what DDG did and end up on £375k a weekSpent all game kicking long balls into touch and then pulls out some great unorthodox saves when it counts. As long as they stay out of the net I'm happy.
Oh it's definitely good! As it shows, he's above average with them, and then you consider that probably 5% of pens just miss the target, you're looking at 1 in 4 being missed against Onana.One in five is pretty good still. At least it is someone between the sticks we can harbour some hope in saving penalties. I never had any confidence in de Gea saving them, it always felt like a conceded goal when a penalty was awarded against us. Likewise a penalty shootout felt like a loss.
As a side side note; i noticed that at first sight and now after watching that pen 50 times ( ) it looks that his foot is not touching goal line before the save.As a side note - still can’t believe that was given as a pen. Insane stuff.
Correct. Luckily Maguire soiled Copenhagen's sheets.The man delivered a clean sheet despite two big occasions when our sheet could have been soiled.

With de Gea, he was 14% but if you break it down further, it shows that his splits of first half of his career and 2nd half were drastically different.
And I definitely believe penalties are an extremely mental game, and if the taker thinks the goalkeeper is shit, then they are less likely to take a shit pen or miss the net, which in turn makes it tougher for the goalkeeper... Self fulfilling prophecy.
People are just ignorant about it. Just look at the cl final how he bypassed the press and passed straight to forwards.His kicking is his best attribute, he being told to lump it evidently because we have nobody capable of playing out to or receiving long balls.

Noticed how he, in the middle of all the celebrations, told the other players to defend the corner before being told by Lindelöf that the game was over.
Thanks for keeping it respectable.
