It’s more that he can find the simple pass under pressure, should the option be on.Why does everyone say how good Onana is on the ball? I know he's had periods where he was good but look at Brighton and ignore the error that led to a goal that no professional football should ever do, he had 4 accurate long balls out of 15 (26% accuracy), 14/26 passes (54%) but don't worry as he held onto the ball for 20 minutes and told everyone to calm down about 20 times
You’d have noticed in the Brighton game he was happy to allow the CF to get within a yard or 2 of him before playing the pass, it allows an overload to occur somewhere on the pitch as the CF has now taken themselves out of the game by effectively being stood on the same spot as our GK. that leaves 10 outfield reds vs Brightons 9 should be play vertically.
This is something Byandir does not have the composure/ability to deliver, and something that the passing accuracy metrics struggle to show. It’s about details on actions.
That being said, he’s really poor from a technical goalkeeping perspective, you can view my comment history, as I’ve said just as much throughout his time here.
I think we should be in the market for a keeper in the next few windows, or imminently if this form persists.
