He did ok today although I thought he could have done better on the first goal, there was absolutely nothing he could do on the 2nd goal.

He'd be one of the last players I'd replace if I were rebuilding this team. Not because he's world class, but he's probably "good enough", whereas most others in the squad aren't.
He wasn't 'at fault', but both were saveable IMO. He was too central for the first and showed too much space at his near post. I'd have to see the second again but I think he was a little slow to get down to it.
Made one or two good saves too.
Said it once, will say it again.There are many situations where he could have done better, but he has also been making great saves that have kept us afloat. When you face over 200 shots in 10 games statistics dictate some will go in. And fewer than expected have gone in. The circus in front of him bears most of the blame.
Could do nothing about either goal.....
By far our best player since January- no debate
Yes , but if he wasn't central, shouldn't Solnake choose the other side
The save at 2-1 really kept us in the game after an appalling first half from us.
He is now way down the list of our problems and we should just leave alone for next season.
I wouldn't go that far.
Should always slightly favour the near post. It's easier to score, and a smaller distance so the keeper has less time to get there. Maguire was also somewhat covering the far post with his positioning. If it was right on the post then there would have been nothing Onana could do about it, but it was two foot inside the post so I do think better positioning would have allowed him to save it.
Watching the replay, I'll take back my criticism of the second goal though. His positioning was fine there and the shot was just too hard to get down to it in time.
Maybe not but too many overreactions on here. I didnt see the goal live but when I did, I wondered whether it was the same goal.
Despite not making the saves on two savable shots, Onana had a pretty good game.
eh?
Both finishes against him were well placed. For the second one, between Kambwala and Dalot acting like the other had the lurgy, and Casemiro making one of his now patented half-hearted challenges, it's bad enough that Onana had to face a shot at all, much less one under no pressure in such a dangerous position.
He was particularly good on their set pieces. It's nice having a keeper who catches crosses. His passing was a bit inconsistent, but it's probably worth mentioning he was playing in a bog both halves.

Yup. Agree with all of that. Especially the bit about catching crosses. Warms the cockles.
Low bar, but he's not wrong.
He is not the calamity he was before but he is not good enough either. Both shots were saveable for a top class GK, he is not that unfortunately.
Been a bright spot recently.
Pretty sure his distribution will be a major asset if we start to prioritize more control in how we play(with a new manager next season hopefully).

He's doing pretty well after his horror start. No need to microanalyse his mistakes. It's only logical that he will concede goals because of the amount of shots he faces. He can release the ball quicker though and play it long instead of short passes to Maguire.
Edit:
So basically Justin Kluivert gave an post-match interview yesterday and his coach (or a former Ajax coach, not sure) instructed him to shoot in Onana's short corner.
Make of it what you will.

Clearly a weakness of his is that he's slow to get down on low shots. And everyone knows it so we're getting peppered with many of them.
He's going to have improve on that

Done well lately, especially considering the volume of shots he faces. Due to sheer volume, he gets a pass for the odd mistake here and there.
Poor bastard.

Interesting. What is meant by 'short corner'?
Also curious about that. Usually we used posts as reference for shot placement in training.
The post he's closest to at any given time, we call it the "near post" and to be honest, he's crap at covering it
Yeah totally agree, he's great at stopping the shots straight at him
You could say the same for Bournemouths keeper, or did that fact go straight over your head ?
That's some piss take
They overwatered our side of the pitch before the game and only watered our side at half time. So no, nothing went over my head.
Nah the argument still stands, unless the one haf miracualously drained at half time.
Just admit we were shit (again) and stop trying to make silly excuses.
Are you ok?
He is the new Barthez. Sometimes good, but never too far away from an embarrassing disaster.
Good enough for the 6-8th best team in PL. Not good enough for a top team.

In any other good team he’d be a priority replacement position but we are so shite that he’s probably number 7 on the list of positions going into next season.
In my opinion he’s like our version of Ramsdale or Mignolet. Passable but you should have better if you want to be a top side.

Coventry 3:3 Man Utd

Easily our best player today. Criminal how much work he had to do. Coventry managed 18 shots against us... Then 4 penalties
Loved him psyching out their lot on the shootout
Thought he played well overall but the blatant time wasting is daft as feck. Does far more harm than anything else.
Conceding shots isn’t an issue
Cost him a CL final while at Ajax and almost cost him a FA cup final now. He sure loves to waste time....
So you’re saying he’s good enough for us.
