    I was told that cause he made it to the CL final last year we shouldn't judge him on his start for Man U (guess by who).

    Not sure at what point we're allowed to point out what a dud buy he is.

    That would be me mate <ok>

    Am starting to lose a little faith since i believe a keepers fist job is to keep the ball out of the net not dribble past attackers.
    Hey Ho, it's a long season ahead :(

    Serious question, not a dig.
    What do you think is going wrong? You looked way better last season (a handful of big losses apart).

    Not really sure but have you seen the injury list so far this season?
    No left backs long term, two CBs out long term, Antony sorting his problems out for 4 games, primary RB missing long term and a new keeper that can't keep.
    A much needed and maybe game changing holding mid brought in on loan and playing LB, an emergency LB brought in on loan to cover the long term injurys who is now out long term injured after 1 game.
    Rashford in a sulk because we bought a striker and he thinks he could/should playt there.

    To top it all off we now have ETH sounding very much like Van Gaal with his "we have to folow the system" (Van Gaal was "the process")

    Other than that not much has gone wrong apart from results <laugh>

    Wasn’t great for the 3rd was 10 yards behind the rest of his defence playing the CF onside!

    Then Onana is almost sitting down again by time player scores. Managed to chip him lifting the ball about 4 foot off the ground.

    One thing Notice with Ali is that he he stands up so long in those 1v1s to force forward to do something but Onana already seems so keen to get down low and try anticipate shots into corners that any dummy or chip is past him

    Yeah, he wasn't so good in the second half. But he played the ball forward (and gave it away) so didn't have time to catch up with the rest of the line. Like I said, it was the organisation that was poor. As an individual I think he looks decent, but a team is more than a collection of individuals, as we know.
    Ali is great at one v ones. He's a top-class keeper, Onana is nowhere near.

    We got little sympathy for an extensive list of injuries recently, so you probably won't get much either.
    Your starting X1 didn't look too shabby on paper, but the organisation at the back was poor.

    Pep was moaning about an injury crisis as well - even though they could field two full teams equal to anything in the Prem.

    when 75mil players who were the only one bothering to track back and work under ogs is not worth mentioning it says it all.

    you.chased him

    you bought him for way over his value

    you broke him

    then you appointed a manager who's treated him like dirt first. all sancho did was say hang on that a load of ****. Once.

    I was worried when utd were linked with Maignan who I rate as a top top keeper. Luckily they were put off by his price tag and settled for Onana, who I thought was poor, but didn't think he'd start this badly.

    Amrabat was fine against Tete who was poor for Gala, but Yilmaz changed the game for them and exposed him playing out of position.

    I didn't watch the World Cup, where everyone said he looked good, so I'm basically seeing him for the first time.
    I'm just commenting that he looks a decent player, but so far nothing special.
    Man U are a mess atm, so it's hard to tell whether he's anything near the player he was touted to be.

    I think he will turn it around once the whole squad get back available
    It is a horrendous injury list tbf
    Give it time and we will all be eating our words - they will have a good squad when everyone is back
