Andre Onana

He's £#%&!ing garbage, let's be honest.

Makes simple shots that I'd expect all goalkeepers to save, dramatic or even worse go through

Is the Portuguese fella still available?

Interesting article on The Athletic about his technique today.

Going to take time to settle in.

Yes they we're but he owed us those saves due to the previous #@&%!-up's.

Was the article more than two words? "It's shit."

Little excerpt….

“ The answer to that question is one that Ajax’s sporting science and analytics department tried to solve while Onana was at Ajax. Initially, they looked at his technique when it came to diving, realised it was unorthodox and wanted to change it, but Onana was adamant that he could get to the ball quicker using his technique.

Rather than standing more upright and with his legs roughly shoulder width apart, Onana’s base was slightly wider than normal, both with his feet and his arms. The wider base gave him more power and stability when attacking the ball and, when reaction time was limited, he was able to dig his feet into the ground and shoot his hands down to the ball to make the save. The technique in itself requires precise timing and a great amount of strength to execute correctly.

When done well, it can result in the goalkeeper quickly shooting their limbs down to the ball to make the save — but when executed incorrectly, it can often make the goalkeeper look horribly silly.

The sporting science department was about to tell Onana that he was doing it wrong and change his technique, but they decided to wire him up to see if it was the case. They actually found that he was the one who was right.

With his style, he could get down quicker to the ball (especially in tight and close-contact situations when a goalkeeper’s reaction time is limited) than the technique they were teaching in their academy. When implementing his technique with the other goalkeepers in the academy, the results were almost immediate: they all became faster at reacting to the ball”

Needs to lose a few pounds imo, lighten the load and sharpen him up.

Ajax’s sporting science and analytics departmet.

The lads

jokes aside it would probably help him a lot if we'd stop allowing free shots on goal from 8 yards out tbh.

It's radical, but it's worth a try..

So in conclusion, he's permanently slightly on the edge of balanced, like a Eurofighter. Or Windy.

Another player who would be better with better players around him ?????

Sums up most the squad to be fair.

It's not rocket science, I expect him to save the saveable stuff ffs & he should be passing quicker. Dawdles on the ball way too often when there are clear options on he can make without breaking sweat.

He's a lot better than he's showing of course but he needs to pull his £#%&!ing finger out as he seems fond of %@#$&!ing his defenders & then letting in something a 14 year old would get down to save.

I don't see him failing, but it's a properly £#%&! start to his time here.
