What the he'll was that, I just don't get how he let the second in?
No, of course not. I’m hilarious.

I still don’t understand the 2nd goal, it was a direct shot at him and he dodged it. I just don’t get it, it was like he was trying to get away from the ball.
Also he is so scared of coming for crosses.
He is a very very average keeper, I’m sure Byandir can be given a chance.

come on the player shaped and struck the ball and the initial movement was to Onanas right. the relatively poor technique (lacked direction plus spin) just made it go slightly to Onanas left. Onana still made the mistake of getting ahead and predicting it was staying to his right and shifted/ committed way too much leaving him helpless
Ok it was a mistake but why are they getting a free shot 18 yards out dead center of our goal?
Every keeper we face seems to be as good at the progressive passing part that was the main reason for signing Onana. Onana hasn’t shown some amazing foot skills that leave the other keepers slack jawed in amazement. Beyond that he’s about the same level as the rest of the keepers in the league. He’s not elite but then neither are we. If we are averaging out his total time here he isn’t good enough. Last season calamitous, this season made some outstanding saves. But when he shits the bed he goes all out.
What gets me is the number one reason you buy Onana is to utilise his great passing. We saw it at Inter, but just to remind you...
Ten Hag wasn't able to play in a way to utilise this. We will see if Amorim can. You can see that Inter had set routines that allowed him to use his feet - often it would be Matteo Darmian at wing back being left as the spare man and Onana would find him over and over.
So remove the asset from him that separates him from other keepers, and you are just left with a bang average keeper that is prone to howlers.
If we are never going to play in a way where he can start using his key asset, then we may as well sell him to someone who will.

He commited himself so going to his right too early so when MGW went down the middle he couldnt adjust himself quickly enough to save it, also he is much better at coming for crosses than De Gea ever was.
Bayindir had a chance against Leicezter reserves in the League Cup and wasnt very good.
I still don’t think he has the technique of a well coached goalkeeper and he’s not a natural BUT he has been pretty good this season so I am prepared to let him off this game.
He’s had a very good season, but that’s exactly why something like Forest’s second goal was bound to happen eventually. He’s not one of the best keepers in the world where you know these mistakes won’t happen. Instead, each good performance kind of just delays the inevitable.
reminded me a bit of a goal DDG let in against Arsenal about 5 or 6 years back
it might've been Xhaka but don't remember
anyway it was fecking shite

Much like De Gea was in his last 4 or 5 seasons at the club, Onana should consider himself fortunate the rest of our squad is so poor that attempting to replace him won't be a priority for the foreseeable.
Barthez 2.0
It's shameful how our recruitment works. Onana 50m, Antony 80m, Hojlund 70m, Martinez 60m, Mount 50m. None of them are good enough.

One error and everyone comes out of their hole. You lot are ridiculously pathetic to jump on a player as soon as he makes ONE mistake and are the reason we're such a toxic fanbase. He's been top 3 best players this year. Give him a break ffs.
I agree with this. What's baffling is that EtH signed a ball playing keeper than decided that he didn't "have the players" to play that way and didn't try to.
He could be good if we play more to his strengths. He's not our biggest problem
It's not our priority right now to sign a replacement but in the summer we should look at least for a viable contender for the goalkeeper position.
He's been great and arguably our most consistent and best player this season up until that mistake. And my God that mistake, you don't even see those in Sunday leagues. An absolute howler. But what bothers me more is the fact that he was brought in here for his ball playing abilities which allows us to play out from the back. However his kicking (esp long ones) has been really underwhelming despite being here for some time now.
He was straight behind the shot actually. There was a deflection.
Even getting away from the mistake(s). One thing that still doesn’t impress me with him is his passing ability. The one thing he was meant to be top tier at. So often he’ll shank a pass low through the middle to the opposition. Today he was at it, he nearly gifted Arsenal a goal in the last game. Then there’s the times where his long passes are nowhere near anybody, straight to the opposition or just straight out of play. I watch keepers in the league that aren’t worth a fraction of what he cost who can move the ball better than him.
Too error prone to be our keeper for the long term.
There wasn’t a deflection, even the commemtators thought there was but replays show there wasn’t.
His first bad game this season. Every top keeper even the best ones usually have 2-3 a season. If he continues this seasons form then no problem but if he reverts back to last season CL Onana, we're in trouble
Said it before and I'll say it again - Sign Kelleher for cheap - and hope Conte picks Onana up in the summer.
If no one buys Onana, he's still good enough to compete as a No. 2.

100%.
Onana had shut them up for months because he was performing very well. One bad game and all the doubters are back in full force. I would not be suprised if some of them were happy to see Onana make a mistake just so they can have their told you so moment.
He actually made a couple of mistakes in that game. Should have saved the goal and almost cost us another with his poor pass out from the back. But ye he has been one of the best keepers this season.
I’ve been thinking the same thing.
This is just comfortably one of the worst threads on here. Same unfunny little guy bumping it any chance they get to make himself laugh. Onana has been solid this season, yes sometimes he still looks like he doesn't know what a goalkeeper is, but he's one of the least of the teams problems right now.
Correct.
If Neuer was judged by his howlers his career would have ended at 26.
Isn't this just unfathomably unrealistic given everything? It's not Fifa, its not a doable deal.
I really think Diogo Costa was the way to go when we signed Onana. It's fine being good with your feet but you need to be a decent goalkeeper too. Onanas positioning is awful at times. His feet are planted to the ground when we concede a lot of the time.
Right? The moaners couldn't wait for that one mistake to come out of their holes. Trashing our by far the best player this season because of one mistake is peak clown behaviour.
Onana is fine. Not sure what he was doing yesterday but that was his first dodgy game in a while. You know what you’re getting with him but the good outweighs the bad by a distance.
Yep, fans like vultures circling waiting for the inevitable mistake that ALL goalkeepers make.
Facts. This place has become really toxic and it’s a shame because it’s put off more levels headed posters over the years. It’s full of agenda driven crap from dumb people entrenched in their views. Thinking about it, it sounds like the modern world we live in…
A top quality keeper overall but he clearly has a mistake in him, reminds me of David James in that regard. It's the first blunder I've seen from him since the FA Cup final when he was at fault for Doku's goal though.
I think he's doing alright overall, especially when compared to the dreadful performances from some out of those in front of him. Is he good enough in the long run? Maybe, maybe not, but is he the biggest issue on the pitch right now? Not by a long shot.

A goalie should be a Buffon.
The least of our problems right now
Easy setup there for someone..
Onana has been our best goalkeeper this season. 
I say we keep him.
