I've got three posts to reply in a day on the main forum. I'll choose to reply to this and reply to the other post tomorrow. This is the last post on this day for me

It's not just on Onana. We've been paying way too much for bang average guys. This is our recruitment to blame. Be it Onana , Antony , Mount , Casemiro , Eriksen and those are only the recent hires. I'm not even including the likes of de Ligt who I think the jury is still out on.

Can't we face the reality, feck off the dead weight including the homegrown guy in Rashford and then move on forward.

Whist I do agree that our recruitment has been shocking, the managers (and choice of) haven't exactly done them many favours to be the best versions of themselves. We've flip flopped between very different styles of manager. There's a definite pattern of players coming in and stagnating or even regressing. The new signings have just been becoming the next deadwood so I hope we've made progress on that area.

Anyway back on topic I think Onana needs some psych coaching as he's a good goalkeeper just error prone. He looked like a good signing when we got him. There were warnings that he makes the occasional gaff before he signed because of the way that he plays almost as an extra CB but there has just been too many of them in short amounts of time. I wouldn't even be as bothered about the errors if he was making a big difference in the build up consistently every game but that has been mediocre too. He doesn't look like bambi on ice at least when pressured like DDG did, but his long balls haven't really been connecting. Jury out on him still.
 
Without those comical mistakes from him we would have qualified to knock out stage.

You easilly say the same about several other players, ww would have qualified for the knockout stage if Rashford hadnt have stupidly got himself sent off in Copenhagen and cost us the game when we were on top and would have won.
 
Onana doesn‘t look like the keeper he was at Ajax and Inter.

There is something seriously wrong at MU, where we can‘t figure out how to play out the back without drama, under several managers. Several or most players are seriously underperforming.

It really really should not be an issue with the players we have now. I‘m scratching my head.

Historically some players have come to United and the pressure brings out the best in them... Others just can't handle it. We seem to be great at picking the latter at the moment.
 
De Gea wasn’t error prone. He made a few of course but it wasn’t a regular predictable thing like it is with Andre. If his confidence is knocked then you can bet on it going wrong again. The TOTD pod acknowledged that today - he’s a player who is harsh on himself and takes a long time to get over a poor performance. That knocks on into subsequent matches.
DDG was still able to pick himself up and dust himself off and be awesome when called upon after a mistake. To call him error prone is inaccurate.
In his last five years De Gea was absolutely error-prone. What was worse is that there was a tendency to have those errors in more important games, with multiple of them in semi-finals or in games that got us knocked out of the CL.

He did his brain farts at Ajax and Inter too and the UCL run was pathetically soft opposition. But it was important that we backed the Dutch Moyes to spent £400m without any cohesion.

What UCL run?

We don‘t look much better under Amorim yet.
