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

It's definitely better than De Gea, but not as good as what we hoped. He started well, but as his confidence probably dropped his distribution became more inconsistent. He plays some great balls that De Gea certainly wouldn't both short and long (he could easily have half a dozen assists from long balls over the top to Rashford and Garnacho if they had their finishing boots on), but in the last couple of months he's also been playing a surprising amount of balls straight out of play.
No, it really hasn’t been noticeable. For someone billed as a sweeper keeper he has stayed glued to his line mostly.
On Sunday for example, the Luton keeper was coming out of his box and playing way higher than Onana.
Honestly, just focused on distribution I’d say he’s on par with DDG at this point.
2nd best keeper in the league behind Alisson. Gate shutter.
He has had a few games this season where’s he’s played brilliant passes forward and the attack has let him down. Seen nothing like his game against city in the CL final.
This isn't true at all.
It’s my opinion. I haven’t been blown away by his passing, which is largely sideways to a defender or hoofed long out of play. I’ve seen him do one turn away from an attacking player which was decent, and maybe 2/3 long passes to Rashford.
He simply hasn’t been revolutionary to our playing style in the way we were told he’d be.
He's miles better on the ball than De Gea. We very rarely get caught when playing out from the back, which wasn't the case at all at the beginning of last season. We even had to stop attempting to do it for large periods due to De Gea. Onana is much more composed when pressed. He's happy to draw players onto him and then play it around them to one of our defenders. He also hasn't benefitted from having Martinez consistently available for us. On top of that, on several occasions Onana has gone long and set up dangerous attacking possibilities. A very recent example was against Luton where he set Dalot free for a golden chance, who then attempted to round the keeper.
It's not even close, I sometimes wonder do people actually watch our games, madness.
Vs Sheffield
Hello old friend!
Such a liability all season. Capt Maguire digging him out. We should look at keepers again this summer, if somebody wants him I’d let him go.

Have you noticed he only does this shit when we’re playing decent or looking comfortable.
Played a beauty of a ball that we should have scored from near the end of the half. Just in the interest of balance.
Yes, his comedic timing is impeccable.
Leakchester United is what we are
This thread is never going to be what you want it to be.
These kind of mistakes aren't that worrying, his ball playing isn't in doubt and every keeper makes the odd feck up. The actual goalkeeping ones are a bit more concerning...
Onana is never going to be what you want him to be.
The lack of self awareness needed to post this
Well never be a top team with this clown in nets. Honestly most keepers retire with a shorter blooper reel than he has put together in less than a season.
Sometimes it feels like the emperors new clothes when he makes a couple of standard saves (that often come off him at crazy angles - watch) and I come on here reading about how he's great and the last thing we need to change.
His number one job has to be keeping the ball out of the net and it's generous to say he's even average at that. He's a basket case and as someone who's always taken as much pleasure from seeing an amazing save as an amazing goal I cannot wait to see the back of him.

Feel like you’ve got some skin in this game señor.
@David De Gea with a fair, unbiased assessment.
I literally don’t know what you are talking about. What has self awareness got to do with Onana being a shitty goalkeeper?The lack of self awareness needed to post this

He's better than average with the ball at his feet.
Poor at the basics.

He's shambolic and will be quickly replaced by the next manager in due time. The only thing going in his favor is the fact that we have so many other areas that need addressing.
Wish we had a clause where we could show all of ETH's signings the door when he's dismissed. Unfortunately I think were going to be stuck with half a billion of wasted transfer budget and terrible players that no one is interested in buying.

I think those who have defended him at all times are blinded by his otherwise positive mentality, he seems to be truly dedicated to the club and team. But that alone doesn't make for the best player to take up the position unfortunately.
I'm not too worried about him. He's been a mixed bag this season but he's been peppered with 20+ shots per game so fans should cut him some slack.
Bobbins.
DDG was also terrible in his first season at the club. I think with a settled and better structured team ahead of him , he will turn out pretty good.
Least of our troubles.

You seem weirdly invested in him being a shit keeper.
You can't even say that Onana has been terrible this season. Agreed with the rest of your post. It's the truth. Don't let them silence you.
He's improved a lot since the new year, but he still has a major mistake in him every now and again. Hope he can improve on the mistakes. There is a good keeper there.
Onana basically getting us knocked out of the CL on his own is going to play heavily against him. I think he's been mostly good in the PL. He has made mistakes, but he's had so much to do in way too many games. Your keeper will make mistakes at some point if they're constantly being asked to make saves.

Not at all, I have praised him when due - but across the season he has conceded a lot of unnecessary goals, dropped a lot of points for us, and it’s fair that that is discussed too.
What’s weird is how personally you take anyone posting badly about him. He isn’t going to shag you mate!
Onana has been terrible this season. There I just did. Ner ner na ner ner!You can't even say that Onana has been terrible this season. Agreed with the rest of your post. It's the truth. Don't let them silence you.
Yes he has. He was worse than terrible - atrocious, abysmal, comical in our Champions league campaign.You can't even say that Onana has been terrible this season. Agreed with the rest of your post. It's the truth. Don't let them silence you.
The situations are not comparable either; one came here as a youngster (in goalkeeping terms) and went on to be player of the season how many times? Took our breath away with amazing saves time and time again, making saves that literally won us points and then yeah went to shit in his last season.
Onana has come here for big money, as an international at the peak of his game with a self confidence to boot. He won't be player of the season ever here and with any luck the new manager/ineos stato's and boffins will move him on ASAP. He's a comedy keeper and I dont fall for the nonsense of him making a couple of standard saves somehow absolves him of letting so many saveable shots in.
Since I started supporting United around 96 I can only think of a few keepers I'd rate lower than him and none of them were regular starters/number 1. Absolute. BOBBINS.
Yeah, not true and you haven't. Consistently in this thread you have blamed him for goals that he couldn't have done much about and go very quiet when you can't.Not at all, I have praised him when due - but across the season he has conceded a lot of unnecessary goals, dropped a lot of points for us, and it’s fair that that is discussed too.

Pointing out this is a poor thread and questioning you if I think you're talking rubbish isn't taking anything personally. But it's clear judgement isn't your strongest quality.
A real shame as seems a decent character but nowhere near the quality needed, will cost more points then he saves in my opinion, be interesting to see how he is when /if he has long periods in games with nothing to do, always a crucial point for a keeper in a top team or one aiming to be
Try again, I literally tagged you in one of them!
Credit where it’s due, he was good when called upon today. Nothing spectacular but solid enough. Well done Andre!
(see @sebsheep, I can be fair!
Onana is the new Barthez.
To be fair, Onana made more mistakes in a year than Barthez made in 3 years with us.
