He went to Ajax after failing to make the grade at Barca, yeah Ajax in the Dutch league, yeah the Dutch league that's what 5th or 6th best league in Europe? Yeah he went there for 6 years when he would have been as attainable as every player in the Dutch league except no big team took him...

Ages and matures? He's 28 ffs. Synergy with a backline doesn't affect if you can save a low shot or catch a ball instead of slapping it off in random directions.

I'd have a hard time putting them all in order but I'll have a crack at the ten best I can think of: Neuer - not only because of the way he has revolutionised the sweeper keeper role but he's just an amazing keeper too. It goes to show you don't have to accept a lesser keeper for ball...

This is the Onana thread, why does DDG keep getting brought up? Can anyone point me to a single person Yeah and he also made them with Inter's back line and Ajax's before that so I really struggle to believe it's purely down to United's defence. As a goalkeeper I never felt my CB's had much...

I've said time and time again I agreed it was time to move De Gea on. My doubts about Onana have absolutely nothing to do with De Gea and everything to do with what I've seen from Onana. You keep bringing up how he was at Barca, he didn't make the grade at Barca and got shipped out to spend...

Regarding the second part of your post, why do you ignore the mistakes of recent weeks? I mean just off the top of my head giving the ball away vs Sheffield, a rush of blood giving away a penalty vs Burnley and ANOTHER example of him being utterly useless at saving shots low to the ground vs...

Err you've said elsewhere he 'played for barca' but he didn't, he came through their youth system and was shipped out without playing a game. This is the same Barca who obviously prefer ball playing keepers too. He then spent the largest majority of his career playing in the Dutch league where I...

[Link removed because I can't post media apparently] Just watching a compilation which is 6 months old (so you could make a whole other video since then) and all the same stuff is apparent from his Ajax and Inter days. The slapping of shots right in to the danger area, the total inability to...

Yeah also a goalkeeper here but for some reason I've always favoured the goal-keeping type goalkeepers. Even way back to enjoying getting to see the likes of Nigel Martyn, Tim Flowers, Shay Given, Seaman etc their peak making great saves week in week out on match of the day. As I've said...

The thing is it's not just the howlers (which are obviously numerous) but so many of the goals he let's in are definitely saveable. This is a weekly basis now it's either a howler or one you're left thinking 'surely he could have saved that?' Only in recent weeks we have the tame effort against...

Go dragon punch some player off the ball in the middle of a match and see how far your 'off the ball' protestations get you. Or ask Zinedine Zidane.

The gymnastics to absolve Onana of any blame every time he makes another horlicks is something else. Surely if you go back far enough before casemiro's header you could find someone who should have done better to absolve Casemiro? You know if you were really, really desperate.

When I read a report about another balls up from our comedy keeper, yeah I can't help but think about him. I was a goalkeeper, never professional but played at a decent standard in amateur league. I've always been more interested in goalkeepers making great saves than any other position...

Didn't get to see the game today but another week another Onono cock-up. I see a lot of superlatives being thrown about for his other saves. I eagerly await match of the day to see this myself or will it be another case of a couple of simple saves he makes look difficult?

Preach! It's frustrating I can't really comment on this debate because everyone just over looks what I say to make the same old 'oH YoU WoUlD SaY ThaT DaVe' joke. The revisionism going on about de gea as a defence of Onana is unbelievable. One who spent 10 years here, who's saves and...
