The bad "V"
Onana has been shite at times but those trickle into the corner goals always look bad. I imagine as a goalkeeper you're unsighted and anticipating a completely different shot (because who shoots like that on purpose?).
Yep. As I said, poor footwork.Tweet

He dives like a fecking T-Rex…..He dives like an outfielder who has had to go in goal
It’s his job [/Keane]Amazing goal... not much he can do
Well you are, aren't you?I'm not overreacting
Guy is legit one of the worst keepers I have ever seen and I'm not overreacting. His reactions are painfully slow. I haven't seen a keeper who feels such slow and heavy whenever he jumps. Look at the 2nd goal, it was shot straight at him yet he took ages to jump.
Going from De Gea's inhuman reactions to this is painful.
No I'm not. I haven't actually watched any keeper that slow. So yeah, one of the worst keepers I have seen indeed. I'm talking about myself.Well you are, aren't you?
Keep laughing while he keeps on costing us games.
You're being over dramatic.Keep laughing while he keeps on costing us games.
He didn’t cost us this game, bad as he was.Keep laughing while he keeps on costing us games.
Can't believe he's caused us to lose again today. The performances from the rest of the team didn't deserve this!Keep laughing while he keeps on costing us games.
The only thing you can say is that his short passing and composure on the ball is quite a bit better. Also, he seems comfortable with either foot which helps with the short passing.Is his distribution significantly better than De Gea? I don’t really see it. His shot stopping skills on the other hand are questionable.
We aren't talking about this though? We are talking about shot stopping ability which is garbage and this is his main job, not passing the ball.He didn’t cost us this game, bad as he was.
People should start seeing how hard it is to be a ball playing keeper for this team though, our CBs in the absence of Martinez is utterly hopeless at creating angles and none of the defenders + whoever we play at 6 at the moment is comfortable receiving under pressure, so we go long regardless. It was easy to blame De Gea but the cruel fact of the matter is we have recruited very badly and precious few of of our players have the requisite fundamentals to play a possession game, and any keeper will struggle playing out with that.
Was genuinely excited to be getting a more comfortable keeper with the ball. Somehow we’ve ended up with the shot stopping and handling ability of a blind snake.The only thing you can say is that his short passing and composure on the ball is quite a bit better.

He is worse in pretty much every other department though. Awful signing.
The shot stopping (and even aerial handling, he is rooted to his line as much as Dave was) is bad, but when you buy a keeper whose main strength is ball playing, you should make use of that. Allison and Ederson made their fair shares of blunders, but their strength gave so much for the team and the team in turn helped them showcase their strengths. We expose ours with a total mismatch in recruitment and playing philosophy then wonder how they don’t perform like prime Neuer every match.We aren't talking about this though?

Ball playing is a bonus. It can't cover for awful shot stopping. That's like saying "striker is garbage at scoring goals but he passes well". If you're bad at your main job, I don't care about any bonus skills you might have.The shot stopping (and even aerial handling, he is rooted to his line as much as Dave was) is bad, but when you buy a keeper whose main strength is ball playing, you should make use of that.

Tbf, if you were a regular here when Berbatov was in the team, the bolded isn’t too far off from what his defenders would say, so it’s par for the courseBall playing is a bonus.

I had my doubts from day one. I think I posted it on a discussion related to the United hour podcast earlier on in the season. The other issue is that he has to face a lot of shots which is not down to him, but he has never experienced that.He’s done nothing to improve our style of play, he’s cost us CL qualification with his bizarre brain farts, the defense has no confidence in him and he doesn’t even seem to shout or boss his defence. A very poor transfer.
DDG usually did good on shots. That wasnt a worry indeed. My heart rate went up every time a ball was passed back to DDG though.Dave had blunders (as every gk has) but with Dave i was calm regarding shots. Dave was not just excellent shot stopper, his technique was great too. He would either catch the ball or push it away ftom goal (or above). Onana is calamity.
Also, it was nice to have a gk who can bail his team with some great save (as Alisson does for Pool).
And somehow we ended up with the one who can't save shots or pass all that well.Turns out a keeper who can't save shots is more detrimental, than one who can't pass the ball. Who'd have thought.
Has he though? We've been woeful defensively the whole competition and been wasteful in attack in some of the games, and tonight when we needed to win to have any chance we created nothing against a half assed team.He’s done nothing to improve our style of play, he’s cost us CL qualification with his bizarre brain farts, the defense has no confidence in him and he doesn’t even seem to shout or boss his defence.

He's definitely more comfortable with the ball at his feet than DDG and he can go left or right which gives him more options. With DDG, when the ball was at his feet it was heart in mouth time, you just wanted him not to try be too clever and just get f**king rid of it!The only thing you can say is that his short passing and composure on the ball is quite a bit better.

He's had plenty of dodgy moments in the league too.Just look at league where he's been fine and we're still poor.
And the people here were creaming over the prospect of a goalkeeper who could pass as for them passing ball was more important than stopping shots.Turns out a keeper who can't save shots is more detrimental, than one who can't pass the ball. Who'd have thought.
Not really. He's not been perfect but there haven't been plenty.He's had plenty of dodgy moments in the league too.
I dont disagree, but neither goals on him.BUMP he's bobbins!
