It was indeed. DDG also saved one in an FA Cup semi final.
Had a decent enough game. Still nowhere near good enough.
He saved one for Brondby, one for Utd and one for Sporting.
The 3 players he saved from were Andreas Möller, Bergkamp, and Deco! He clearly saved his, er, saves, for the big occasions!

He made some important saves during the game. Fulham's penalties were well taken.
Might have saved a few others in shootouts.
Honestly don't remember Utd being in too many shootouts with him in goal.
Didn't know that. I guess I was too young to remember it, but surprised I didn't know.
As far as I can tell he made 2 other saves in 2 Charity Shield shootouts.
1 from David Seaman in 1993
1 from Frank Sinclair in 1997
And 1 in a European shootout vs Torpedo Moscow in 1992.
Utd had very few shootouts in the 90s.
Not gonna do that all 'still not good'....did well today, on to the next game.
Tbf he was decent today.
Penalties can make you look shite.
Can't understand why keepers don't feign one way then go the other. Was always my go to method!

Pulling my hair out with the way he took every goal kick so slowwwwwwwly. WTF?
Couple of decent saves though. Was an ok performance overall.

Won’t ever be good enough but not the problem today, we couldn’t beat Fulham in 120 (plus very generous stoppage) minutes of football.
He can’t help his stature but I feel like it helps to be absolutely massive for penalties. Courtois comes to mind.
That is, however, just a feeling and I’m ready to be corrected by some stats about how height and wingspan are not an advantage.

He made some good saves, and at least one better than good, and he made all his catches.
Nothing outstanding, but we are all relieved that he didn't actually lose the game for us, so he gets looked on favourably today.
But why the actual stupidity of starting to waste time from the first half ? He's too daft to even begin to understand.

Good performance during the game. Non-existent during the penalties.
Made some good saves today with his fingertips. You have to feel, however, that those fingertip saves would be much more routine for a goalkeeper with any sort of athleticism.
I still can’t believe how terrible his distribution is, but I just don’t think he has the mentality or focus to be anything more than a reactive shot-stopper at best.

I agree. He makes the easy look difficult and the difficult is impossible for him.
His techneque is horriboe. We all knew he was lacking as traditional keeper.
But we thought he would make up with it with his distribution and ball playing ability. But for whatever reason, he only passes it square from goal kicks and when he does go long it is off target.
Maybe he was only every good when taking his wifes pills!
Saved a few for Denmark as well
It was incredibly frustrating. The Stretford End really got on his back for that
I'm with you, you feel like it does help.
Like when Onana and Leno were walking together to the goal, Leno looked absolutely massive in comparison to Onana... made me think I know which keeper I'd rather take a pen against.
But then someone like Pepe Reina was somewhat revered for his Penalty Saving and he was pretty short for a keeper... but then that was in the day where you could come 5 yars off your line.
Did anyone actually think that this clown was going to save any of their penalties??? I certainly did not. We would have had to rely on them missing the target to go through.
Because it is always slow for no reason. He is always the one trying to tell people to calm down when we want the game to be quicker.
That is partly it and it is annoying, even though he played well otherwise. I don't think it's just that though, there seems to be a real anger in the OT crowd which is unusual and its probably the culmination of so many mistakes from him that is just reaching boiling point with the crowd. It wouldn't surprise me if we had another Zirkzee vs Newcastle moment soon. I didn't hear it but apparently there were cheers when Hojlund came off (although people say it was more for Obi coming on than Hojlund departing).
The fact that we all are scared as soon as the ball goes near him, itself is a testament to what kind of player he is.
Been really poor since December but he was very good yesterday and kept us in it. Saving pens in a shootout shouldn't be the measure of how well a keeper plays - and I'm pretty sure he's pretty good at penalties for us in the past? Coventry and Copenhagen, Southampton this season - feel like there's another which I can't remember.
Not convinced he will recover enough back to the start of this seasons' form - looks low on confidence and shaky whenever the ball is near him. Don't think he can handle the home crowd being on his back

If he remains the starter in goal next season, it will go down like a cup of cold sick. The guy is one of several players brought in during the Ten Hag reign that the club massively overpaid for. Rather roll with Bayindir with the two young lads Vitek & Harrison as reserves.
I mean he was good, but let's not over egg it.
He made the saves he should be making (which is an improvement to be fair) but if he let any of those shots in you'd have huge question marks.
Fair enough. I've not seen the game back but there was one save (Smith Rowe) which looked very good from where I was stood and another near post shot which again looked like he got down well. I will retract my "very good" to "good"
As you pointed out, Stretford End was getting annoyed at him (for following manager's instruction I would have thought) - honestly think it's the last thing he needs with his confidence already seemingly low. This applies to other players too - feels like more groans at OT than cheers most weeks. Must be playing a part for the terrible home form. By contrast, the game we go down to 10 men and the crowd rallied behind them and we get a result (albeit only Ipswich). Appreciate I have taken this thread on a slight tangent but your post triggered a thought!
Rewatched the penalty shoot out. His dive for the Robinson penalty 
What a disaster signing.
What a disaster signing.
Onana wasn't at fault for the goal or any of the goals in the pk shootout. That said, he's a bag of nerves that we need to get rid of. He's nowhere near a top shot stopper regardless of what some stats geek may claim, his command of the box is average at best, he slows down play far too often and his passing is shockingly poor despite this being his calling card as a modern keeper. What he does have is a very good first touch that makes it virtually impossible for opposing forward to jam him. But overall he's not a great keeper and we need to address the position in the summer. I know many argue that a keeper is not the top priority and perhaps it isn't, but it is a priority that would be criminal to ignore going into next season.
Made a couple of top saves in the 2nd half, but all things said, he remains a liability that we can do without. Altay should be our new #1 pending any new buys in the summer.
This does my head in so much, can’t blame it all on him as I’ve no confidence anyone is doing anything worthwhile in front of him but jeez speed up man!
So yesterday at the Fulham game I was sat right behind the goal and before kickoff was closely watching Onana warm-up with Jorge Vital.... I'm obviously no goalkeeping coach or sports science guru, but it all struck me as being so amateurish and lackadaisical, to the point I was actually laughing at the drills they were doing.
I understand that it's in order to stretch, prevent injury, get a feel of the ball etc bit this all just looked so relaxed... just an observation of course but I wasn't exactly filled with any confidence watching it that either of them were completely tuned in 100%.
I understand that he frustrates and angers a lot of fans, but some of our own fans didn't help matters. After several goal kicks some of our fans were giving it the prolonged 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhh' that is usually reserved for putting off opposition keepers.
I find myself feeling sorry for him. Not really sure why if I'm being honest since I concur he isn't good enough but still more sympathy than our other players. He just has this look of utter misery and regret.
That might be because the fan base as a whole, seem to have soured on Onana. There's probably no way back for him now unless he makes an early career De Gea like transformation from when Dave was very shaky in year one and quickly turned things around in years 2 and 3.
I agree. I don't see him succeeding here. His errors are indefensible. However, there's quite a toxic atmosphere around the place at the moment. The fans are constantly on the team's back ovely a lack of urgency, which again you can understand. Unfortunately, the players feed off that and it has a negative effect. Anxiety and panic is displayed on the pitch. Amorim, I believe, has referenced this previously.
He's hard to feel sorry for because of just how many errors feel like he's just really unserious and uncommitted to his craft. Have some sympathy on the club and the manager and take your job serious. He's always leaving the sticks to go where he shouldn't but can't even come out to collect a cross.
He has the agility of a badger, meanwhile Dave is keeping clean sheets in Florence.
Just seen the video where he holds on to the ball for about a minute only to pass to Yoro (a pass which was on the whole time).
DDG was 19/20 at the time? A younger player who was clearly still growing (literally and figuratively) deserves some patience. The 3rd most expensive keeper of all time who is 27, and been at the club nearly 2 years (and getting worse) cannot expect the same patience.
