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.
