He's a total liability who never learns. I would sell him at the first opportunity I get.
He's not the best player this season. He's invited Salah to score, he's stuck to his line for 2 Arsenal goals when the ball is near him. Horrendous mistakes in the last 2 matches. We're not even halfway through the season, if he's been our best player, we're in big trouble.
You would think he wasn't our best player the whole season so far by reading some posts on here. It's a fecking Twilight Zone on here.
The one thing that gets me concerned is how he handles his blunders. They seem to rattle him and the lead to him making more. Up until the Arsenal game he had a really long run of excellent games.
First time pass was never on, the ball into him was too slow and the angle wasn't right. You also have to factor in the pitch into it, it was soft and bobbly, so he has to to take that touch to be sure.
There was no problem with him taking a touch, we see other goalkeepers like Alisson, Ederson, Raya etc do that and play that pass every week. How many times do we see them getting caught out?
De Ligt was asleep on his heels even after he was beckoned to come closer. If I'm in goals there, he's getting plenty of blame from me. It's too easy to just lay all the blame on Onana.

Button moon I call him. Always got a clanger
Last nights mistake is the sort you see plenty of times from keepers who play it out from the back. It's the ones where he fails as a keeper at the very basics that worry me a lot more.
It's quite worrying how one mistake seems to lead to another. All keepers make the odd clanger but his seemingly happen one after another. He's not someone we should be looking to replace, lots of other issues to deal with and most of the time he's very good
He's been very good this season, but if all it takes is one mistake to throw him off his game and make more mistakes then that is a huge issue. Making one mistake every now and then (no matter how bad) is always going to happen no matter the goalkeeper, but he has to be able to put it behind him immediately. If this is the start of him having another mistake-filled period then I doubt he's the man for us long term.
Hopefully he turns it around against City and gets back to how he's been most of the season.

I was worried from their first set piece last night. He absolutely flattened Casemiro with a totally reckless attempt for the ball, and didn't look right at all rest of the game. It's like if he makes one mistake or struggles in a game it affects him for a long while after.
This is the position of players after Onana takes a touch to receive the pass:
De Ligt is in a perfect position here IMO and this is the time that a pass should be made. Onana however stops, hesitates, then passes to De Ligt who now has the incoming Plzen player right on him. There is no way De Ligt should be coming closer to Onana - he would be too close to both of the Plzen players and closing his own passing angle to Mazraou.
Really I just don't see a case to blame De Ligt here.
Feels like when he has one bad game or makes a mistake the floodgates open.
Agree - surely that's a straightforward first time passThis is the position of players after Onana takes a touch to receive the pass:

The still image doesn't really tell the whole story. Onana takes the touch because the first time pass just isn't on because of the angle and the pitch. If he scuffs it, you'd have people in here saying he should have booted it or taken a touch. For me De Ligt then has to step towards him, it's a simple ten yard pass then and then he can pop it off out to the right.
The biggest part to be critical of Onana for me is that he should drop out more towards the side when Martinez is playing the pass to him, he'd give him a better angle and then he'd have more options on where to go with it when he does take the touch. When that ball came to him, he couldn't go right because he'd be closed down right in the centre of his goal, he can't go back to Martinez, because he's not given himself a good angle to play it back that way. He's then got 2 options, ping it long or play De Ligt. They're being told to play out, so that's what is going to happen, he wants De Ligt to step in there and he doesn't do it. If he steps then it doesn't happen.
It's very easy to lay all the blame on Onana for the pass, but De Ligt has to go towards him and actually show that he wants the ball, he didn't.
The BBC have a whole article on it today.

Rarely is it one man's fault, but the large part of the blame certainly goes to Onana, so when people say they cannot fault him, I fail to understand it. Just like Bruno was a culprit for losing the ball against Forest, Onana was mostly at fault for letting a shot straight at him go in. He is rightly praised for his form this season and has turned me around, but he needs to get his act together.
The pass to De Ligt is simply very poor, and it was an unnecessary risk that he clearly should not have made.
A very strong season…up until 2 games ago.
He’s now directly cost us goals in back to back matches
I’m a fan of his. But his last two performances are a worry going into the derby

Aside from his big costly mistake, his kicking last night was terrible
It’s been pretty shit since he joined. His best attribute and it’s mostly been terrible for us. That’s not to even mention his work in the air.
Agree. And he'll be 29 in April, not exactly young goalkeeper. Would sell him next summer if we can get proper replacement. Onana hasn't been a disaster and there would be buyers for a decent fee surely.
Today he Won the November save of the month " in The match at Portman Road was locked at 0-0 when Delap was picked out unmarked in the centre of the penalty area and seemed certain to score, only for Onana to instinctively divert his goalbound effort away with an outstretched arm"
"It is the second time Onana has won the award this season, having also claimed September's accolade for a double save against Crystal Palace"
"Overall the Cameroonian has won three Premier League Save of the Month awards, the most of any goalkeeper since it was introduced in 2022/23"

Some goalkeepers are only coming into their prime at that age and then you have Van der Sar who was 34 years old when he joined United.
A shaky goalkeeper is a very very bad news for the team. I can live with non performing striker for a few matches because there can be others on the pitch to share the load. But if gk is wobbling then there is no one on the pitch to compensate. Fecking nightmare. Bench him until he rgains some composure.
The double save vs Crystal Palace was very good, and the save vs Ipswich had shades of Schmeichel about it…top drawer…unfortunately the goal conceded vs Forest was Taibi-esque and the one he let in vs Plzen was a throwback to Barthez…it is very hard to build a championship winning team when you don’t have a clue which goalie is coming out to play…that defence must be a bag of nerves in front of Onana…

Wasn't good today.
Awful celebrations, drop him!
Mid and long range passing was atrocious today. Needs to be better
His distribution is really, really bad. He conned many people into thinking he was world-class at it, nevermind he doesn't even seem much better than De Gea was.
Good at short passes, very poor at long passes. Most of his attempted long passes went out of play.
Is he a ball playing keeper?!

You can’t help your bowels loosening a bit every time he receives a pass under pressure. Gotta hope that goes away. There’s always immodium I guess,
You can forget about him saving any shot that isn't centre of the goal. What's with his lack of reflexes? Is he worried about getting his shorts grubby?
Last week it was centre of the goal shots that were his weakness?
I want to see that City goal later on. De Bruyne's cross looped up off Amad's foot. Where the pace is taken off a cross by a deflection and loops in, that should be an opportunity for the keeper to come out and claim or punch, but Andre seems to be spooked lately and is coming for nothing.
Got a post that claimed his only weakness is shots down the centre?
I'm pretty sure he got a hand to the Foden deflected shit as well.
This, the ball looped up so much, I thought it would be gobbled by the keeper, as you would expect. But he was just rooted to the line.
Do you think he's a sprinter?
Don't need to be one to catch a looping ball.
Isnt that what ball playing is? Short passes? Even de Gea was able to do long passes by just booting it forward. Onana has the ability to do some great long passing though, if Dalot could finish, Onana would have had an assist this year already
How did he 'con' people? By doing it very well at his previous clubs?
