I'm not sure any top keeper saves any of those shots on goal, but I would like to see Onana at least make an effort to save shots on goal more often.

Don't think he can really be blamed for any of the Lyon goals last night bar the second at a push.

My guess is a VdS would have come for the ball across (after the flick on) but then Edwin was an absolute monster… remember seeing him next to Rio and make him look tiny

Onana did not do anything egregious last night, and you hope that continues. His biggest issue is his concentration skills and inconsistent fundamentals. He has a knack for diving early. I think one of the shots he saved against Lyon looked initially brilliant, but on closer inspection, he dived too early and again, parries the ball back into the danger zone.

The goal by Tagliafico, I blame Dorgu for sleeping at the back post, but again, why is Onana so far to the left of the goal? He is simply too unorthodox and not enough structure. I like unorthodox. It adds an additional layer of quality to a player's quality. As a goalkeeper, however, you want less unpredictability and more consistency of quality. Onana is far too chaotic for me.

In addition, he lacks presence as a goalkeeper. For me, keepers should be 6ft 3 and above. Obviously, with all the additional reflexes and agility in goal. It's tough to find, but Onana is not it. Perhaps as a second choice but even that is a push. United used to have Lindegaard and Tomasz Kuszscak in goal. Both are better keepers than Onana.

I am tired of all these ball playing goalkeepers nonsense. Time to return to simple lay offs to your defenders or midfielders, volleying the ball if that option is not available and actually saving shots.

Onana can't be United's number one. Needs to be moved on or aside. Simple as that.

He still is a massive liability and we should be looking for a replacement.

It is sickening that we spent 50 million on him and allowed ETH free reign to sign a lot of dire players.

No he played a game where he made two saves and didn't feck up. Still had to celebrate in front of the Lyon fans because he just had to. A game where he doesn't mess up isn't automatically a good game. He conceded 4 goals on the night and made couple of good saves. Priority number one is to get a solid keeper

A game were a keeper makes two saves and doesn’t feck up is already a pretty good game for a keeper. A game were we have to win to reach the semifinal in the Europa league and last tournament we have a shot at, and turn 2-4 to 5-4 in seven minutes of extra time and over time - any normal person would, and should celebrate like mad in front of anyone and everyone. A miserable sod, however, should spend his time dragging down even positive perfomances in the middle of this, to wnsure that no one ever, not for a minute even, enjoy anything, like they themselves never do.

Yesterday, in spite of letting in four goals, Onana had a pretty good game, and was part of a great and uplifting joy for all United.

Great post

I thought he was fine today, but seriously, what was he thinking breaking out the taunts that quickly?

There’s something a bit forced about his attitude. Like he’s a deeply shy guy playing a role. Yes, the taunts. Completely unnecessary and looked all wrong, small time. I was wishing he’d stop. I thought his celebration, hugging Amorim after the winner was… a bit awkward. Amorim aimed a half-hearted kick at him as he departed. He’s the annoying younger brother figure, who gets the jokes wrong.

 

[Tincanalley]

I always really liked him when he was here but he had to make a fool of himself these past week for no reason at all.

You are talking about Matic, I’m guessing. Same. Terrific player. I think it was a smart move targeting Onana. Mean, but smart, and nearly worked. I’d have liked a shot of his face after Harry’s Heroics.

He did celebrated in front of them after the first goal, no one would blame him after the fifth goal. You can stretch this as far as you want but a keeper should be capable of playing most games without fecking up and saving couple of shots without giving the defence a heart attack. Onana is a bad keeper and will never be good enough for a club with any ambitions.

 

[Ted Lasso]

Appreciate his continued spirit thru two seasons of howlers. But the liability is so clear to see every game. Can't remember if it was regular time of extra time, another shot he palmed straight in front of him and the goal, begging for a rebound. It was one of the biggest concerns with him before joining and my goodness is it had.

Hope he gets to take a Europa League medal and some good memories with him when he leaves United

 

[Cantonalegod]

He made the saves he needed to.
The only criticism for me was how slow he was getting back across goal for their second.
Looked like he was bolted to the ground, just stood watching.
Had he reacted instantly he probably would have saved it, because the shot connection was poor.

Rinse and repeat.

Are you watching, Saudis? Thats 40 million dollar performance right there.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Got to Old Trafford really early today so got to watch the entire warm up...

His kicking is absolutely shocking. He was doing the training drill where he had to kick it to the bloke on the half way line and literally none of the passes were anywhere near accurate.

 

[Frank White]

Didn't notice him so that's an improvement I guess.

Usually he's really good at that drill. I didn't watch him today I was wondering what the feck the others were trying to do with their weird attack v defence drill. If they can't do that by now they're not going to learn it 15 minutes before kick off are they?
