How would you rate Onana's performance yesterday?
I didn’t see the game yesterday but i have seen every other game this season either live or on TV and most of the games he’s played, he’s been very good. So a joke about rarely being a bad idea talikg him off on the back of fairly regularly slating him over the months, is a bit misplaced.

He has played a key role since coming back into the team. He bossed the Man City game.
Him and Kamara and even McGinn in first half were way below par. A weeks rest should do them good. Yourri looked the freshesy understandably.

McGinn set up our first goal and was far from average. Kamara was average for sure but Onana was just shite. Just cruising at little or no intensity. Same as his performance in Basel. With Tielemans in there I'm expecting us to have far too much for West Ham in there but that didn't happen. Not until Tielemans dropped back anyway. Can't remember what poster said it on match thread but they were worried about taking Onana off for defending set pieces. Valid but a 50m midfielder should be expected to do a lot more between both boxes.
Onana did have a very good game v Man City, arguably his best for the club. Did ok v Arsenal too, despite losing possession for their goal. But it's a different kind of pressure against those teams where you have to sit in at times, even Diego Carlos shone in similar circumstances. On days when he's required to step up and dominate weaker opposition he rarely does.
