Kamara could always play on the half turn, Onana can't. He's just not comfortable with the football which is a slight problem.
Yup; that's it.
I wondered before the Wulfs game whether we should be playing Onana as a 10, but in the end plumped for Luiz and Bogarde as the MF pivot and Barkley as the 10. In the event UE tried what he had been starting: Luiz and Onana, with Buendia and Sancho ahead of them.
I don't rate Onana particularly highly but he does have the physique to do more. Personally, I'd be trying to offload in the summer but we probably won't becasue we have other priorities for the exit door.

He has the physique. When focused he can use it to his advantage and did v Newcastle and Man City. In recent games, he's losing out on headers and tackles to guys a fraction of his size. Hasnt the heart, tactical awareness or technical ability.
