Still had De Gea and we’d be through already. Wouldn’t need any kind of result against Bayern.
Onana has not worked out. We need a new keeper.

Can we not find a single decent goalkeeper that actually saves shots and can pass the ball out of back while commanding his box?
Yep. He’s knocked us out all by himself.
He has, but it was not "4 months of mistakes" that is hilariously over the top and untrue in usual Caf manner, and then he settled in and was fine for many games, then one bad game and the usual knee jerk squad is on it again.
Shite keeper how can you even defend that.
Did he save low shots at his previous club? Surely our scouts would have noticed this terrible weakness in his game.
He's an absolute fecking donkey.

Just awful and he's barely doing anything with the ball at his feet
You cant have a keeper who you know has a clanger in him.
He got away with one early. Just shocking goalkeeping from the free kick.

All I wanted was a steady eddie who was decent with his feet and at commanding his area. This guy is not it.
Do we have the receipt for Kovar?
Question marks over the first goal, may have been unsighted, maybe.
Second goal, feck off with that, awful mistake, basically an o.g.

I understand how you can't see the obvious, I made peace with that. Cheers.
Zero reaction speed, woefully unatheltic, looks slow and heavy and can't hold on to a ball.
I thought he was poor but he's proven me wrong. He's incredibly, laughably, depressingly, comically terrible
He’s made blunders for months, how can you even deny that. Keep feeling superior on your wum though
That's enough. Absolute liability.
Last one I can forgive but the first two should cost him his place in the 11
It is easier to deny the obvious than face the facts.
I never started the thread BUT in theory, if someone started it now, it could work by actually making him good again maybe?It was this guy! It’s his fault!
On a serious note, I really dislike an unreliable GK. Loved Van Der Sar above everyone else because he was just so reliable. You never had to worry about him
Playing Onana as GK is same as playing midfielder as GK.
Yet another 50m down to drain.

Another plot twist. Turns out he's actually not good.
Onana's been statistically the best keeper in the league according to the 'whoscored' metrics, for what it's worth. He had some terrible moments today but he's been pretty good the last few matches when we needed to grind results out (as well as the halfway line turns). The bigger issue is with how the manager sets up in terms of approach and personnel, as opposed to laying it on one player - for instance, I don't want McT starting any games anytime soon unless it's an emergency, but wouldn't blame the lack of midfield control entirely on him either.
Onana did great last year. Not so much this year. Very disappointing so far and unexpected for me.
Hope he can recover, but it’s not looking good at the moment.

What are you even on about
Lord have mercy.
Just when you thought he'd turned it around. Truly woeful, not against replacing De Gea, but swapping him for this walking mistake is a serious misstep on our part.

He's made more embarrassing errors in a single match than De Gea did over a season. He's wank. No ifs or buts, he's wank.
I dont know what to say. Remember when he blasted Maguire on his first game? He’s way out of his league. It’s Karius every other game. No way to compete in anything with a keeper like that
Been good in the PL recently, but yikes.
I've given the guy a chance but despite what whoscored says he is comfortably the worst keeper in the top 6, potentially top 10. This is one of the most expensive keepers in the world. Its not just the mistakes but that they come from his poor goalkeeping technique. Its one thing losing concentration and making mistakes that way but his mistakes are almost all coming from his appaling goalkeeping technique. You could pretty much blame not getting out of the group on him....one of the most expensive goalkeepers.
That GK went to Arsenal on loan in the same summer we signed 50M clown
Give it up lad, this guy isn’t the hill to die on.
Needs to be sold on, take the loss of money. He is a disaster waiting to happen.
We need a Van Der Sar in our goal. He is really the gold standard in relability. I hardly remember him making amateurish mistakes. We don't need a ball playing goalkeeper that can save a worldie once in a blue moon.
Not sure if Bayindir belongs to that category. If no we should start sourcing for one soon. Onana is never going to be in the reliability category

I am on about the simple fact when someone says "he was making blunders constantly over 4 months" when that isn't even remotely true, he had great games over that time, decent games, bad games, terrible games. It is not as straightforward as that. I am done with clownish extremes people post just for the sake of it.
People think "Oh you are defending him, saying he is not that bad". No, he was terrible this game, I am not blind, I am just against stupid extremes, knee jerk posts, our own player childish name calling and abuse etc. You can call him being terrible without childish abuse. Simple as that.
Undeniable that he should be let go in the summer. At the very least we need a new number 1.
Once you have a keeper as unreliable as this, it becomes negligent to give them the opportunity of a second season to prove their starting position.

Need to be ruthless and cut our losses unfortunately
I said he’s made blunders for months. He has; that is a facht.
And as another poster said it’s not just down to concentration, it’s terrible technique. He’s just not a very good goal keeper. It is ok to say that. I also feel he’s cost us this champions league campaign, it’s ok to say that too.
I can't believe that we spent most of our summer budget on Onana and Mount. This is another Antony signing where ETH knows them well and yet went ahead with the signing. Unbelievable.
We need a reliable GK and not a GK where every shot at our goals we will shit ourselves.
Try Bayindir please.... Forget about this clown. He has single handedly kicked us out of CL. Taibi was better than him.

Part of me feels that he has a bet for us not to qualify, how many errors leading to goals is that in 5 cl games?
That is sadly fact. A friend of mine said it all along. Better to have a great goal stopper until the squad knows how to play with each other. At least then he will save us some point and win us some matches when things are not looking good.
