Onana has been terrible this season. There I just did. Ner ner na ner ner!You can't even say that Onana has been terrible this season. Agreed with the rest of your post. It's the truth. Don't let them silence you.
Fairly mainstream opinion : Onana isn’t Fabrice Ondoa, or very good

Yes he has. He was worse than terrible - atrocious, abysmal, comical in our Champions league campaign.You can't even say that Onana has been terrible this season. Agreed with the rest of your post. It's the truth. Don't let them silence you.
The situations are not comparable either; one came here as a youngster (in goalkeeping terms) and went on to be player of the season how many times? Took our breath away with amazing saves time and time again, making saves that literally won us points and then yeah went to shit in his last season.
Onana has come here for big money, as an international at the peak of his game with a self confidence to boot. He won't be player of the season ever here and with any luck the new manager/ineos stato's and boffins will move him on ASAP. He's a comedy keeper and I dont fall for the nonsense of him making a couple of standard saves somehow absolves him of letting so many saveable shots in.
Since I started supporting United around 96 I can only think of a few keepers I'd rate lower than him and none of them were regular starters/number 1. Absolute. BOBBINS.
Yeah, not true and you haven't. Consistently in this thread you have blamed him for goals that he couldn't have done much about and go very quiet when you can't.Not at all, I have praised him when due - but across the season he has conceded a lot of unnecessary goals, dropped a lot of points for us, and it’s fair that that is discussed too.
What’s weird is how personally you take anyone posting badly about him. He isn’t going to shag you mate!
Pointing out this is a poor thread and questioning you if I think you're talking rubbish isn't taking anything personally. But it's clear judgement isn't your strongest quality.
A real shame as seems a decent character but nowhere near the quality needed, will cost more points then he saves in my opinion, be interesting to see how he is when /if he has long periods in games with nothing to do, always a crucial point for a keeper in a top team or one aiming to be
Try again, I literally tagged you in one of them!
Credit where it’s due, he was good when called upon today. Nothing spectacular but solid enough. Well done Andre!
(see @sebsheep, I can be fair!)
Onana is the new Barthez.
To be fair, Onana made more mistakes in a year than Barthez made in 3 years with us.

This thread is a joke and abit of a stain on the fanbase. Should be locked to stop idiots spewing nonsense mid game.
Just seen the first goal on the highlights. Still not entirely convinced sometimes but there have been some positives from him this season too.
I would like to see the club get a good second keeper next season, just as some competition.

You got me, should've said rarely!
Maybe while you're already looking you could find all your negative posts and then check the ratios of positive and negative posts for good and bad games. I'm sure that would really help you make your point.
How many goals are on him now? How many mistakes does he have compared to other GK across the top 5 Leagues?

Any luck on the job hunting Dave?
My old boss once told me, "If you're going to f*ck up, f*ck up big, because it's the stupid little mistakes that drive me nuts". For me, this is exactly what Onana has done this year. He's made big mistakes. These aren't little mistakes that he will make over and over. They are a one off that aren't something to really worry about unless they are more than a one off. He was horrible in the Champions League. No doubt. He may have single handedly cost us from advancing to the knock out stage or even getting into Europa. He had some howlers. With that being said, in the EPL I will go as far as to say he has been a top 3 keeper in the league. In fact, he has made the 2nd most saves in the league. The only keeper to make more saves plays for Luton. And the rest of the top 10 for saves all play for bottom half of the table teams other than West Ham.

Such a horrible toxic and childish thread, desperately bumped with glee when he makes any sort of error. Imagine being so desperate to be right on a forum that you seem happy when a member of the team you support messes up?
Can never trust him, with him in goal, opponents have always got a chance
Casemiro and Eriksen decided to faff about with the ball (because they're as slow as molasses), and then Casemiro had to pass it back to Onana from a dodgy angle. Onana took a dodgy touch and got a bit jittery, so he rushed the pass to Dalot without even bothering to look. It's one of those things, really. Seems like everything that could possibly go tits up at the back, will go tits up. Can't say I'm expecting anything different from our third-choice defence and non-existent defensive midfield, to be honest.
The mistake tonight is excusable, it's the sort of mistake that will happen with this style of keeping and football. It didn't really bother me? The more basic goalkeeping errors are far more annoying and troublesome, the geninue howlers.
He needs replacing ASAP.
Like, it should be out biggest priority.
He was never good enough to begin with, but I am sure some fans will be happy with his: 'doing-noting-above-what-is-expected-approach'.
The fan base of this club is becoming a joke; seriously content with absolute mediocrity.
Jesus Christ. I almost feel like giving up.

I understand the sentiment, but why do people constantly compare De Gea's first season with Onana's? De Gea was 20-years-old when he joined United. Onana was 27. It's not an apt comparison at all.
Yeah he did but unfortunately the mistake for their first goal is still the abiding memory
He is a good goalkeeper but not a great one.
He has been much improved but today is a reminder he has an error in him at any minute
Definitley needs replacing but I don't think we should spend 50m plus on a replacement eg: Costa. He's a massive risk though every time we step on the field.
Agreed. He has his distribution qualities but when it comes to shot stopping, not in the same league as de gear or van der saar.
His blooper reel from this season must be enormous. Also gets beaten on his near post consistently. Feels like we should be doing a lot better than him.
Yeah it doesn't take too long because he's a shambles and will constantly make these sort of howlers as he has displayed throughout his short time here.
Lads, I get it, my user name is De Gea, it's hilarious. But if you're biggest defense of Onana is go go after DDG and his wages then I think that says it all. Particularly when even his biggest fans (like me) agreed it was time for him to move on. I just don't think Onono and his comedy goalkeeping should have been the answer.
He's always going to be a weakness for this team knowing he can drop an absolute clanger at any minute with a penchant for doing it in the biggest moments. Then just look at his basics and the amount of saveable shots he just let's by him.
I'd take any of Barthez, Bosnich, Howard, Kusczak, Van der Gouw, Foster or Lindegaard over this clown.
Who is toxically and childishly, gleeful? Or you are not able to handle a performance thread mentioning a player having a brainfart.
Your old boss sounds like fecking idiot
You ruined it by including Bosnich
Not only am I not able to handle it I’m literally crying my eyes out.
First time I heard the word clown being associated with a goalkeeper came from Brian Clough after Jan Tomiszweski's heroic performance against England 1973. Resulted in England not going to World Cup in Brazil.
I now see on this forum the same word being used to describe Onana. Also he seems to be yet another player who splits the caf in two. Clown or hero??
More of a clown I would say and I've enough to back that up!

Sorry about that. This too shall pass.
He's lucky he did that at home against the worst side in the league. In any other game it probably would have cost us points.
Clearly he's made too many mistakes this season, and I still have doubts over his agility and saving technique to get down towards low shots. Still think he could improve next season if he builds his confidence and settles in. We also don't really have the luxury of finding another keeper, so there's that.

That metric doesn’t make him a top keeper though, that just shows how poor the midfield and defence have been. That’s why City Arseand Liverpool goalies will never make most saves top 10. I would start bringing in the U18 goalie in as backup, everyone who watches the youth on tv rate him.
He has great games and is capable of genuinely great saves. But he never seems too far from a big mistake.
He's not got enough for this league, at this club and will not improve significantly enough to be considered so, in my opinion.
I don't even think he's THAT good with the ball tbh.

I like what I have seen, but I'm not sure him sitting on the bench as back up is a particularly good move for him.
He needs games to develop. He also needs a solid line in front of him for me. I wouldn't want any young keeper behind this absolute car crash.
In the league, he has been pretty good for the most part. I doubt he has made more mistakes than the average keeper. In the CL for some reason he was terrible this season, but I doubt we will see that again.
He has definitely changed the level of confidence at the back with the ball at his feet, even if his distribution is not always good.
Overall, I think we are ok with him going forward.

Every top keeper in the world playing out from the back has bloopers of that exact mistake.
We can and should do better than him. The whole "playing from the back" thing has turned into a cult thing. Yes it's important for a modern keeper to be able to play with his feet but it's not as important as stopping the ball from going into the net with your hands.
But I disagree with the bit about replacing him being our biggest priority. We have big needs across the length and breadth of the pitch and a lot of deadwood that we hopefully can start shedding. We need a lot of players and we won't get all of them in a window or even two.
We can survive with Onana until we have a better squad and the market gives us an opportunity. Any promising keepers in our youth teams?
