Onana has not worked out. We need a new keeper.

If he was playing for Pep he would have a proper defence in front of him and a midfield that doesnt get overran everytime the opposition get the ball so wouldnt face the same issues he has faced at Man Utd so far.
How can any defence be solid knowing a complete liability is between the sticks? This works both ways.

I don't think you can blame handling errors or poor positioning like we saw against Galatasary on the defence or midfield. Look, I want him to work but we need to be thinking about what we do if it doesn't work out. My point about city/pep was that they replace players immediately who aren't cutting it.

Inter Milan did alright with Onana in goal last season.

The problem at Utd is most of the time we give the ball away cheaply then do absolutely nothing to try to win it back with the opposition having the freedom to dribble the ball in to our box completely unchallenged and setup amd/or take a shot meaning the keeper is constantly under pressure.

The problem is that Onana is inept. It's his job to stop the ball going into the goal. He's bad at it.
 
Saying he is inept is ridiculous when his stats show he clearly isnt
What about what your eyes telling you when watching him, all this stats nonsense is killing football.

it’s a sport to watch, not to read in a spreadsheet
 
I honestly think my hometown club Wrexham currently have a better keeper than us, Arthur Okonkwo, who is on loan from Arsenal, their third or fourth choice keeper. Was on loan at Sturm Graz last season. He’s a belter.

Correct. I mean "the stats" made De Gea Golden Gloves winner last season. Was he the best goalkeeper in the league?
 
Another awful goal conceeded there with our defence nowhere to be seen yet according to the De Gea fans on here its not the defence at fault its the keeper

Almost like he wasn't at fault for that goal and no one has criticised him at all. Actually, it's exactly like that.
 
A semi decent shot stopper saves that

It's frustrating as feck that we keep conceding all these naff goals
 
The positioning and footwork was poor for the goal. Been good in all the other scenarios this match.
 
Nah, harsh to blame him. Looks clumsy because it’s slow but that’s a tricky shot to save. Opposite from where the shooter is running, wrong-footing the keeper, and so well-placed.

Nah, he looks cumbersome and heavy to me.

Doesn't need to be a semi decent shot stopper just someone with a decent spring.

He done well earlier on the sterling cut back.
 
My initial reaction was he should save it. Looked a slow shot.

Maybe I'm being harsh but he's made so many mistakes that it's hard to not assume that he shot do better again
 
It was a shot in his corner from 5 meters away in front of two players. Surely Lindelof is to blame?
 
Anyone blaming Onana for that goal should give their head a proper wobble. This agenda against Onana is getting to clownish levels now.
 
When he did that shot, my reaction was that it was some great finishing.

… and it just is. You cant blame him for a great shot like that. Also saved a 1on1.

Yeah, watching it again at half time, he’s got no chance. Knives are out for him now so every goal he concedes is going to have this kind of focus. People want an excuse to blame him, that much is very clear.
 
Onana has been shite at times but those trickle into the corner goals always look bad. I imagine as a goalkeeper you're unsighted and anticipating a completely different shot (because who shoots like that on purpose?).
 
95% of the time pretty much any PL GK gets beaten by that shot.

So far really good performance from him. Stopped us conceding at least 2 goals.
