Maybe, but even then he's dramatically made a save that I don't think he needs to end up on his arse with in the first place

I think he's always going to end up on the floor due to where the shot goes.
 
He’s asserted himself as the worst keeper in United’s history and the worst keeper currently in the league.
Never ceases to amaze me just how appalling of a shot stopper he is, everything just looks technically wrong.
Even when he’s not at fault his attempts to try and save shots are hilarious.
 
He literally never comes out to claim crosses anymore. Not to mention his wonderful habit of palming the ball straight back into the danger zone.
 
He parries like a literal amateur. Over and over and over again. Not only is he poor, he never learns from his mistakes or improves his technique.

Needs to be sold, but he’s probably on some absurdly prohibitive wage which will make him nigh on impossible to shift.
 
Another 90m of Onana proving how and why he is liability - of all ETH's terrible signings, he is the one that worried me from the off. Sure he had a good CL campaign with Inter but he's never been anywhere near being a high quality keeper.

Amorim needs to act now and drop him.
 
What can I write that hasn't been written?

Absolutely stealing a living
Shockingly bad and needs to go in the summer
 
He’s a liability. Pure and simple.

Bayindir isn’t the answer either.

So many headaches in this squad and it’s hard to know what’s the most pressing.
 
Onana was not at fault for either goal today, but criticism of his performances overall for United is fully warranted.

Best to stick with him through the end of the season but if an opportunity arises to upgrade on him we need yo take it.
 
So will the stats say he saved a shot before the penalty conceded (that was overturned)
It will probably increase his shot stop percentage but it was such a poor attempt and we got away with it.

The disappointment from me is how he came to united, looked confident, then that one lob in pre season and he's gone to shit.
 
He's an absolute bluffer. So many saves he makes he so clearly tries to make it look spectacular/harder than it was to excuse him being unable to hold on to anything, so when it's spilled for a tap in he can make it look like he was totally helpless

For me this summer, a goalkeeper is just as important as a striker.

Complete ball watcher

Absolutely. He'll be a nightmare for us next season and next season is so important for the club as a whole.

Towards the end of the season there'll be games that are irrelevant. Let's give Harrison a go in those. See if he can at least be a proper No.2.
 
Infuriating how we sidelined all our scouts and recruitment specialists to give ETH carte blanche over signings
 
Proof- if it were needed- that he's not good enough to be our starting 'keeper. Why on earth we allowed Ten Hag to bring in all his old Ajax side is beyond me.

Anyway, it comes to something when at the squad is so poorly put together that a new goalkeeper isn't going to be our top priority this summer.

Not sure how far your memory goes, i’ve been a fan since 1996 and confirm your statement.

We pushed DDG out for this

No, we pushed DDG out because his time was up. Two completely separate decisions.

There are more than two keepers in football.

There are plenty of fans who want to do the same thing this summer, and give Amorim carte blanche to bring in his old Portuguese league mates, so clearly we don't learn our lessons easily.

Made me laugh. Who is going to buy him?

He may still be sellable - for European sides he may have retained some of his reputation from Ajax and Inter where he's regularly played CL knockouts, and he's only 28.

The problem is his book value will be around £30m and the teams who could afford that wouldn't want him.

Bad transfers really are a disaster, most of the time you can't just move on, you suffer from them for years on end.

You're failing to take into consideration the amortization and wages that we'd be on the hook for next season were we to keep him. The real PSR "breakeven" figure would be much lower than that.
 
He seems to have a worse game than the other team's keeper in about 80% of our matches recently. Literally almost any of them would probably do a better job than him

He's had a few weeks or months of good form here and there, but overall he is completely unreliable.

He's not just watching though is he? He's getting back up having just made a save from close range. The passiveness comes from Maguire.

He had time to take three steps backwards. He had time to take one step forward and easily catch the ball. Crap from Maguire and awful from Onana.

Defending that shot that could have led to a penalty also?
 
Utter shyte. Play Altay when fit, with Harrison off the bench to give the lad some experience. At this stage, Onono can go for peanuts in the same deal as Casemiro.

Is he the worst starting keeper in the history of our club? Genuinely asking, because we have a pretty good history at the position and this guy sticks out like a sore thumb.

Onana is terrible.

For me worse than Taibi as Taibi was quickly found out and moved on.

But it would take some convincing for me to say anyone was worse than Roy Carroll.
 
Something I've noticed time and time again (aside from the parrying into the path of danger) is that Onana often makes "athletic"-looking saves where he ends up jumping or moving off a balanced, planted base of two feet on the ground. He ends up on the floor, needing to spend time getting back up which makes him even slower to the second ball that he's parried in play.

Against Palace, for their first goal, he ended up on the floor after jumping to try to tip the ball over the crossbar, misses the tip-over, ends up on the floor, and Palace have a tap in. At the time, I thought it was a harsh take for him to have lost balance for that tip-over attempt, but seeing Everton's second goal today it strengthens my view of Onana's propensity to go to ground after attempting a save or parry. Harrison's initial attempt on goal was close to Onana's body, with no need to jump at it for the save, but his poor balance means he goes to ground with a drastically reduced chance of recovering the second ball which Doucoure nods in. If Onana had better balance and could stay on his feet, he would have plucked the second ball out of the air before Doucoure could get his head on it.

I'm getting tired of his overall lack of quality and would warmly welcome Bayindir to start for an extended period when he's back from injury.
 
Like I said before, he is a taller version of Barthez. Unfortunatly for a GK he is also a confidence player and usually plays well when team plays good and vice versa.
