In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Yep, it's so annoying
Do think he should have saved two of those shots but seriously his passing out is woeful. He certainly is more confident on the ball and has a better touch but the passing is terrible.
If we had the choice again, I probably wouldn't sign this player. It doesn't help that the backline changes so often, so it's hard to build proper consistency. But, there just doesn't seem to be good communication from him and the rest of the team. They look like they know he's going to make another mistake.
Go look at their goals maybe? They're good players with a variety of different goals, so yes they do happen to sometimes choose to go with that option.
That was supposed to be his saving grace but he's just not it.
Yep, this mistake needs to be corrected urgently.
He didn't impress today but he wasn't the main problem. The lack of a functioning midfield did for us today.
He's decent but Manchester united need a great goalkeeper and that he is definitely not.
The worrying thing for me is that they weren’t necessarily goalkeeping howlers that you can mark off as a bad day. It’s just that any hard and low shot on target will exploit his lack of agility, and probably always be a huge flaw for him
I just did and still think the same. We can agree to disagree. The proof is in the pudding when subsequent teams do the same in the upcoming fixtures. This isn't something new anyway, highlighted numerous times by fans and the likes of Ben Foster. Naturally Liverpool's coaches would have worked to exploit this as will the rest of the PL this season.
Onana's not going to make it here.
You don't expect him to save any 50/50 shots and most of the time he doesn't. He is an easy keeper to beat
Every shot just seems to go in against this guy.
When you don't have a solid and dominant GK organizing defenses the entire team suffers. Look at Schmeichel, VdS, Button, Neuer, hell even Barthez. Not only were they making important saves, they were also very vocal leaders from the back. Pure goalie prowess aside, DDG didn't have that, Onana doesn't have it. After DDG we should have realized that we need a leader of men in the back and we once again dont have it.
Only an elite keeper saves those three goals, but Obama gets a pass as he’s clearly not an elite keeper.
The tradeoff for a substandard shot stopper is his brilliant footwork, which was supposed to transform our outfield play. That has not yet come to pass.

This, he is an average keeper in the old fashioned sense, below par shot stopper, decent aerially, if his ball playing is poor as well he will have to be replaced.
Three shots on target for Liverpool, three goals.
In comparison, we had four shots on target with 0 goals.
His shot-stopping is nothing short of shambolic.

What brilliant footwork? Is he saving it for a special occasion?
He's incapable of saving low shots. His technique is bizarre he dives in slow motion.
He's really really crap.
Any shot on target and there's a good chance it goes in.

0 saves made today 
A decent keeper saves the third by not being about four foot out of position.
Quality of shots on target, slightly different
A better keeper saves two of those three, IMO.
First two he had no shot on saving but the 3rd one was just fecking trash positioning that meant he had no shot of saving it. Literally standing on the wrong side of net and dove slower than a grandma falling in the bathtub
I’m with you. I think he’s absolutely rubbish.
Watching Allison making saves was made more frustrating when I realise Onana never seems to. The Salah goal didnt especially look like it was impossible to save.
Shite. All the confidence in the world with no ability to back it up.
He was brought in cause he was magically going to make us better playing out from the back. He hasn’t done shit so far. At least De Gea was a great shot blocker. What’s Onana good at? Would have rather kept De Gea and dealt with the occasional howler.
Will be binned by the next manager. Horrible goalkeeper.
Didn’t know he was on the pitch today. It’s hard to have an opinion on him when you don’t know he’s on the pitch. I didn’t see him do a single thing to affect the outcome of the game.
Does feel like his foot work is heavy.
I think it's often the case in football when players are obviously flawed that their supposed quality in one area is talked up as people try and make sense of how on earth such obvious flaws haven't held them back.
For Onana it's his supposedly ability on the ball. Were he any good at any of the other parts of being a top goalkeeper no one would talk about his fairly average ability on the ball.
I cannot see our next manager liking him.

Hopefully we'll admit our mistake early-ish for once and move on from him next summer.
You don't even need to drop a stack of money. With the Ligue 1 connections our board have, we'll know how good Chevalier can be. Even Bulka from our feeder club Nice in a nice, cheap City/Chelsea-esque deal.

10 shots on target this season, 5 goals conceeded!
Happy to give him a second season to see where we are with him - but right now he's an average keeper at best and not good enough for a team hoping to challenge for top four.
His passing technique is actually quite good, but for whatever reason he rarely finds his man which strikes me more as a lack of concentration or conviction (almost like he's been told not to play long but does it anyway).
His shot stopping is really poor. His technique is utterly bizzare and he seemingly can't get down to anything low and hard. He's a big unit so it's difficult to see how he can improve this drastically but he can help himself by ensuring his positioning is sound and he's set when an attacker takes aim. He's too often still trying to move his feet to get into the right position when a shot is taken and as a result he can't get any kind of spring to get down and will be easily wrong footed.
His self-confidence is all for show but I don't think he's a lost cause just yet.
However, when you're paying the money we have you're expecting the finished article, not a project..

His ball playing abilities are overrated, for me he's a waste of money.
At least he has one stat no other keeper after him will probably beat:
Onana is the first United goalkeeper to concede 60 goals in 40 Premier League games or fewer.

Shooting low and early is pretty standard though, it's not something players are specifically doing to target Onana. It's not really proof you're talking about, just confirmation bias.
