He stood there and just watched the second one go in then managed to conjure up something magical to gift them another ffs!

The 2nd that was a high cross that he wouldnt have got anywhere near and Mazraoui should've dealt with, a cross that Dalot shouldnt have allowed to happen in the first place.
 
He didnt cost us the game, claiming he did is just silly
Really? On the second goal, he just stood there and watched an absolute muffin of a cross go by rather than take one step out to make what should have been an easy catch. The third goal speaks for itself. Without those two gifts, the result could have been different. I agree that there were many problems out there today, but a reasonable argument can be made that Onana cost us the game.

Bigger picture, he needs to be replaced. He’s not a kid like De Gea was when he first joined. He’s an experienced player who should be in his prime, and yet he’s consistently proven that he can do the basics. He doesn’t command his area or organize the defense well, he’s brutal with crosses, he’s not physically imposing, and his kicking / distribution is poor. His footwork is terrible and he seems to be extremely fragile mentally. The odd fantastic save doesn’t overcome all of his shortcomings.
 
The point is not to give VAR a chance to do it. With the reffing in our games this season alone, it's just stupid. He watched the ball roll across his 6 yard box for the second goal.
Well since that sort of thing never gets called I don't see a problem doing it. I'd like to see us be better at the "dark arts" of football. The ball didn't roll across his 6 yard box for the second goal though. It looked like a perfect cross to me, hard to get to for the keeper but maybe not impossible.

It’s a team game and all that, but he didn’t exactly not cost us the game either. Should’ve done better for 2 of the goals. When you don’t have any shots or create any chances, these things are going to cost you games.
 
As shit as he is, amazingly he's not our biggest problem. We could have had peak Buffon between the sticks today and still lost. We only managed one shot on target (a penalty), and didn't look like scoring even if we played another two hours.

He'll be a bigger problem when he's singlehandedly costing us competitive games with tight margins, just as Barthez did, and he wasn't a bad keeper by any stretch.
 
People asking for him to go really don’t understand that we can’t afford to take losses on these big signings, as well as signing replacements. I’m pretty sure he will be with us next year.
 
I respect the lads battling a Utd players corner. And he genuinely seems like a top bloke.

But he's at best not that bad isn't he.

Anyway he will be here for another season minimum so we will have to suck it up.
 
How anyone can blame Onana for this is beyond me, Dalot and Mazroaui are at fault


That way, no keeper can be blamed except for chucking a ball into his own net. The keeper is also part of the defense. Defenders making a mistake doesn't mean keepers stand there and do nothing about it.

It's a sequence of errors.

Dalot is a horrendous footballer, I don't care what anyone says, he's not good enough. Let's players cut inside or get crosses away all the time, the guy is an absolute joker. As a winger, you'd be laughing coming up against him.

Onana should be claiming that, no excuses, it was like Spurs second goal today, keeper was just asleep and if he's ready he can easily come and claim that ball.

But how should Onana be claiming it when its nowhere near him?
 
He got lucky in first minute when he punched the ball onto Welbeck which could easily have looped in (this was from a horrendous in-field clearance from Dalot, great way to start a game.

For the 2nd goal I have no idea why he stops in middle of the goal, pretty cowardly. It’s a shame that we didn’t buy a back-up that could seriously stake a claim to the number 1 spot since despite his FA Cup heroics I think Bayindir would make us look even shakier

Dalot isn’t the problem

Shaw is the problem

Malacia is the problem

Our former CEO handing out contracts was the problem

Dalot is playing out of position

Hence why we are and will continue to be shit. The mistake is paying the big money in the first place.

3 United players in close proximity to the Brighton attacker with Dalot being the closest and none of them can prevent the cross from coming in.

If anything one of them should have blocked the cross on the left foot with Dalot covering the attackers right.

Dark arts isn't stepping on another player's feet. Shoulder, little bit of grabbing, pushing to destabilise, going in a bit hard, play acting, time wasting, pestering the ref sure.

How? He would've got nowhere near it

He probably couldn't have claimed it but he went backwards instead of rushing towards the far post, which he could and should have done. It's such a basic and fundamental goalkeeping thing to do i.e close down the space and post.
 
Just because our defence could have done better it doesn't mean the goalie gets to watch the shit cross go from the players boot to the back of the net while he just stands there and does feck all.
If he came out for it and jumped a little he would have got it. He's just shite.
 
Sorry but that's just wrong. If he made a quick decision even he could have claimed it.

Whether he dropped it after is a different argument.

A sensible post. Anyone who claims that a keeper shouldn't even think about claiming a ball that falls one yard off the goal -- maybe a yard and a half if you break out the measuring tape -- needs a remedial education in the responsibilities of a goalkeeper. This is exactly the kind of goal that De Gea allowed too often late in his career and was rightly flogged for.

For financial reasons we can't get rid of Onana, but at least we should start giving Bayandir chances against PL opponents.

Sure it is, why wouldn't it be? I used to love doing it to defenders on corners and freekicks haha. Anything to get their players pissed off and make them lose focus while not drawing a foul is ok in my book if a bit unsportsmanlike admittedly. Anyways back to Onana, he made a big mistake today for sure but I don't blame him for their second. He doesn't seem to be consistent enough to be our keeper long term.
 
He is awful boys.

The intention was for him to come in and he was going to be the "missing piece" of us playing out of the back. Apparently, we needed a ball playing keeper. Well, have we seen that? We haven't seen anything like what we saw from him at Inter. Now maybe that is because our defence and midfield are not ready to play out of the back, but still, we rarely even see any good passes from him when clipping it to wide players or finding forwards.

So take away his ball playing ability and what is the left? A really poor keeper.
 
Henderson is probably laughing his arse off now. He's far from perfect but wish we could put him in goal right now.
