He’s very consistent.

Big game for him on Sunday.
You know Onana is playing that game, right?
Mustn't be able to even catch a cold if we're asking Onana to delay his start to the AFCON.
Given our recent illness problems, that may actually be a good thing
Isn't he going to AFCON?
Christ man, where have you been the last few weeks?!?
After that match, keep up with the news.
My apologies.
I find it interesting that Onana is doing everything possible not to give him a chance of taking his place.
Almost time!
Unless Onana gets sent back to Manchester for some random reason.

Baffling signing. We let a talented young keeper in Kovar go to sit on Leverkusen’s bench as a No.2 despite looking good in pre season. We then sign this guy for £5m as a back up for Onana despite being a completely different profile of keeper and by the looks of it the manager has no intention of playing. Why the feck didn’t we just save ourselves the trouble and make Kovar our 2nd choice goalkeeper?? Just highlights the sheer incompetence from the decision makers at the club. Hopefully this will start to change with INEOS coming in.
It's really interesting to compare how different clubs treat their keepers. At United it's pretty clear, the first choice plays all the time possible and it looks like they want to prevent the number two from playing at all costs.
Meanwhile Leverkusen:
Hradecky got 18 games (17 Bundesliga and first cup round before Kovar was signed)
Kovar got 7 games (5 EL and 2 cup rounds)
Lomb got 1 game (the last EL match that didn't matter for Leverkusen was gifted to him as a "thank you" by Alonso)
If you see this comparison it's no wonder that Kovar wanted to leave.
It’s more of an ETH thing than a club policy. Our 2nd choice keepers used to keep plenty of game time previously in cup games but it seems to be the way of ETH that he wants his No.1 in the team at all times. I’m not sure if Kovar was told that and decided he wanted a move because he wouldn’t really get a chance here. It could also be Bayindir is that bad the manager simply refuses to play him, if that’s the case it would just be another example of our incompetence in the transfer market and a waste of more money.

I know Dutch is the best language and the most beautifull language that has ever been spoken.... but why would a Turkish man without any connections to the Netherlands want to learn Dutch?
He has to persuade ETH to give him a game somehowI know Dutch is the best language and the most beautifull language that has ever been spoken.... but why would a Turkish man without any connections to the Netherlands want to learn Dutch?
You can also watch compilations where he looks great. Give him a chance and see what he does for us instead of judging based on hate videos.Christ that's horrendous! No wonder ten hag isnt playing him

Why not? Maybe it's for fun.I know Dutch is the best language and the most beautifull language that has ever been spoken.... but why would a Turkish man without any connections to the Netherlands want to learn Dutch?
Thought he appeared competent. Very calm on the ball and looked quick on his toes
I like him because he actually catches high balls.
We haven't had a tall goalkeeper since Van Der Sar. Altay seems similar size. Just makes it much easier to pick things out of the air
Shows that you don't need to spend 50 million to get a semi decent keeper.
He was alright and alright is good enough atm.
Didn't do much wrong, but there were a couple of ropey moments where maybe you can see why he's not first choice.
On very slim evidence, maybe being a decent backup for a big club is about his level.

Must say he looked okay. He didn't give me the heebie jeebies.
Mad that's he hasn't played a single minute before now
Good to see him get a game today, he did ok but im sure if Onana had have conceeded any of those 2 goals he'd have been crusified.
Come off it. None of those goals were even his fault.
Is this the guy that was supposed to make us miss Onana? I’d like to see him get a a run of games.
I didnt say they were his fault
More of a stable presence than Onana, but he is ropey as hell with his feet. Against an elite pressing team, we would have conceded a chance from playing back to him.
He was better and more assured than any of Onana’s games for us (minus the Copenhagen pen save).
A classic keeper with all the fundamentals....
All we need from our keeper is to not make any stupid mistakes and to just be solid. Thought he did alright. Can't blame him for any of the goals and he didn't make me nervous.
That's my point, though. No one will crucify him because none of the goals were his fault. Onana get's criticism because of his consistent bad form and mistakes.
He's ok. Inevitable that some will overhype him due to their dislike of Onana.
He didn’t set the world alight today. Ok performance
Objectively not true.
