I know, I know we aren't allowed to criticise Onana because the passing, the pointing and the vibez but yeah I can't look passed it.
1. Standing stock still, flat footed watching a shot dribble passed him AGAIN. Yes it took a slight deflection but that doesn't automatically make a shot unsaveable especially when there's a bit of distance from the shot and it's so close to him still. If you cant get down with your hands through a leg at it, its right there. Just poor reactions and his big wide stance again because he hadn't even committed to another direction from the original shot (which was going the same direction anyway)
2. Takes up a position at the near post surely to try cut out a cross (because there's no way Salah is shooting from there). Decides to not try to get anything on the cross despite it being right in front of him and is still standing in the exact same pose as the ball is tapped in. You see keepers dive at these all the time just not Onana obviously.
3. Fairly tame effort palmed right in to the most dangerous area possible. Yeah I know he's not a catcher, given up hope on that long ago but if he's going to slap so much surely he could work on slapping it out of the dangerzone more often.
Also seen him drop a cross in the first half before i fell asleep and missed the second.
Obligatory yes my username is De Gea, no I'm not shitting on Onana because I wish we still had De Gea, yes I thought it was time for DDG to leave. I just thought we could do a lot better than Onana, particularly for the money spent.
I'm not blaming him and I'm not saying they are howlers I'm just documenting what I believe are the times when I think he can do better, something i'm left thinking with a lot of goals he concedes. It' absolutely within his power to dive at that cross from where he is and where the ball is travelling. He just doesnt because he's not a top keeper, not capable of the things top keepers can do that surprise you.
The still you've used as proof is miles off in terms of where the ball was in line with him, for him to be able to dive for it. At that point, it was nowhere near close enough for him to be able to get near it.
An instep pass off the left foot doesn't travel in a straight line.
I have to disagree. Bear with me as I'm working off my phone and a daily motion video but in my opinion this was definitely close enough for him he could have got something on it. Especially when you look in conjunction with the first still image you said was misleading, he's standing in the correct position to dive for it, it's at a good height and it's within reach. He just doesn't because he lacks the reflexes and athleticism.

Fecking hell. The lengths you will go to…. Where was all this insane over-analysis when your namesake was stinking out the joint?Well for starters, when DDG was stinking out the joint i wasn't here pulling out amazing mental gymnastics to defend him. As I've said time and again it was time for him to go. Christ I need to change my user name or get one of these tag lines people have to stop tiresome people just constantly going on about DDG with me.
Go watch the video again then. It was my first reaction when I seen it live and I've seen nothing to change my mind since.
I've watched it multiple times, I watched the replay when the goal was scored to see if Onana was at fault, and he wasn't. Collyer and Wan Bissaka are to blame for that goal, there are very few(if any) keepers that could keep a good position protecting the near post and then also get to that cross. Salah was on his left on the inside, it wasn't like he was trying to cross it as the ball was running out of play with his right.
He should use his feet more like you. The amount of goals I see going in and think DDG swings a leg at that.
Everytime an opponent is in a goalscoring position, it’s obviously the fault of the outfield players.
I don't think anyone has ever said that every single time he faces a shot. I'm talking about a specific incident here.
Well if you have a look at his thread or match day threads, every single time Onana lets in questionable goals, he’s excused by saying it’s the defenders fault
No, he’s a very ordinary keeper plus he makes the major errors. He is very much a downgrade on DDG, and his passing ability isnt consistent enough to make up for it.
De Gea of 6 years ago, maybe. Onana last season was infinitely better than De Gea we had in the last few years of his career.
A lot of people were also upset to see the back of De Gea and Onana has consequently been judged by unrealistic standards.
How many teams in the PL do you think would swap their keeper for Onana?
There's no doubt there are serious question marks over Onana, but at the same time there's also no doubt that some people go significantly overboard about how many and/or how bad his mistakes are. Both can be true at the same time and that is clearly the case here.
