Half of those have literally nothing to do with him.
Any good goalkeeper will save most of these if not all of them. For some here to consider it a mistake, it must fell from his hands into the net. The reality is his positioning and reaction time are really, really bad and he's struggling to get a hold on many easy shots thanks to this, making them look harder than they are.

Look at the way he jumps and how fast he does it. This is awful reaction time for a GK playing for a big club.

Looking forward to seeing what fresh sort of CL carnage he can unleash tonight.

It keeps shit interesting to be fair

File that one under “should do better” again.

Probably a 1% chance he could save it, but yet again doing everything wrong technically again. Rooted to his line and guessing. Goalscorer didn’t even look up to give him the eyes, just a blatant guess.

Decent on the ball again. Going nowhere with him long term

1% chance to save but should do better. That's harsh.

did you read my post? Technically he was poor again, so yes he should do better. You can do everything right and still concede. At which point you say there was nothing more to be done. That is not the case here, again

I normally defend Andre Onana but he had enough time to see where Kingsley was going to go there and still got nowhere near saving it, the defence standing doing nothing didnt help though in fairness.

so if he did all them things better it should surely be higher than 1%?

Should be charging off his line as soon as that pass is played through for Coman . Probably wouldn’t have saved it anyway but nevertheless odd decision making again in that moment.

Otherwise a good performance.

Shite again, I just don't get it with him? Did one nice move near the end but otherwise nothing great distribution wise. He should have charged Coman for the goal but instead presented the open net? At least make it difficult. Look at Neuer vs Dalot

Talking about GK basics and then writing that.
He's one on one about 5 metres away, of course he's going to guess a side.
If you want to slate him pick the moments where he literally cost us the group.

Can we sue this cnut? Or Inter? He's singlehandedly knocked us out in the Champions League.

Not at fault tonight but must be among the worst performances ever by a player in UCL.

Can't blame him for tonight. Weird to do so tbh.

Can however blame our exit on him entirely. We had done more than enough in games to have been through prior to tonight only for some of the worst goalkeeping I've ever seen to be the deciding factor.

It was an observation/expression as to how unlikely it is to be saved in that scenario. You know it was, it’s evidently not an XGS calculation is it. Stop being silly.

Not inclined to be overly-critical for the goal as a lot went wrong prior to that, but if De Gea had conceded while rooted to the line like that he would definitely have been criticised for it. Though in fairness to Onana, in his case that isn't as typical a fault.

Where in the goalkeeping fundamentals does it say you should guess?

He'd have probably scored anyway, but Onana basically gave him a guaranteed goal. Shite keeping.

Of course it’s possible to simultaneously believe that:

1) he probably would have never saved that regardless.

2) it was truly bizarre decision-making to stay on his line, and he should have rushed out and given himself a small chance of saving it.

How did we recruit him is the biggest question ?
He is worse than Kepa ..maybe the worst goalkeeper in the PL...
Doesn't have the fundamentals .. cannot dive properly.. we could have easily got a better goalkeeper than him for 20M

He looks like somebody who plays up front all the time .. but is asked to play back ..
So uses his feet.. weird punches ..

:lol: What is there a manual you're reading from?
It's common sense, if someone is that close what are you going to do? You can't wait and react - you choose a side or stay still, it's no different to a peno. More important, though you seem less bothered, is how can a player get that much space and time in the box.

First instinct a goalkeeper should have when someone is put through on goal is to rush out. He doesn't have it. He either freezes or backpedals.

It's a major flaw in his game. He's either shit scared or just a very bad goalkeeper. I'm guessing it's the first one. Not sure he has the mentality to play for Untied. Most of our current players don't, to be fair.

Thankfully some sanity

In a play where the typical reflex is to rush towards the shooter, Onana still finds a way to make a mess out of that.

I hope this is his last ever European match for us.

I have to agree with Chinchy98.

It didn't look good technically. He should have rushed forward, instead he stay rooted to the line (I think he even backpedaled). Coman just had to pick a corner and score.

Of course it’s heavily edited. It’s the equivalent of a season summary for a striker showing only the shots they put wide. Haaland would look like a pub footballer if someone ever made that edit.

Showing a compilation of shots flying past a goalkeeper makes any keeper look bad. As they look incapable of saving the football. Throw in some legitimate howlers and a few saves where he could have done better and it’s a train wreck. And let’s not pretend he’s the only keeper who’s let in soft goals this season.

He may or may not be good enough for us. He’s had a poor start to his United career. But a compilation like that is a dog shit way to analyse any goalkeeper.
I'm not pretending that he's the only keeper making mistakes, but that's a pretty ridiculous roll-call of soft-to-catastrophic goals in a half season of football. And unlike most Youtube comps, which are about players we're trying to learn more about (ie. we haven't seen them actually play,) we've seen Onana, so we know that he hasn't been making up for it with other qualities (ie. his distribution.) Disasterous signing whom we can only hope will start to perform a dramatic u-turn in performances.

Shit keeper. Hopefully he leaves before his value plummets too much and we get someone else in

Out of his depth. ETH should not be allowed to buy even a cigarette in the supermarket because he is likely to screw it up

Everyone here is so toxic. It's a one on one from 5 yards out with no pressure on him. That is never on him! People just love to moan about everything! Apparently he offered nothing at all. Well i think his passing was decent today. He put through dalot with a great pass.

Havign said that, we are out of the Cl cause of him. But how about we have some patience and give a player more than a few months before completely claiming we need to sell. That's just not sustainable! It's like people don't live in the real world in this forum!

His distribution was good tonight. And has been in plenty of games this season. Goes without saying it will get a lot better in the unlikely event we ever a) play some defenders who are more comfortable on the ball than Maguire + 1 and b) play the same back four for more than one or two games in a row!
