Love Onana. Just the way he makes himself available, talks to those around,  pragmatically dirty when necessary. Something we've been missing.


Good to read.  Where are people watching it?

I have to ask. What did Pablo see in Gauchi that convinced him we were signing one of the worst keepers ever? He’s looked very good. Distribution needs a little work. Decent positioning and very good shot stopper.

I saw him making several mistakes across two or three seasons & his distribution was poor.

I did say that he was a decent shot stopper though.

Although I never said he was one of the "worst keepers ever."

I just said that I didn't rate him overall, didn't want us to sign him & that he was a disaster waiting to happen.

Despite it being 1-1 it’s been a really excellent first half. We were much the better side. Should be 3 or 4-1. And the goal by Morgan Rogers should have counted as he was onside. All in all very positive.

Defence still looks a bit dodgy especial Torres.

Of course, when the season starts, for the players still being given time off and, having played for a good hour in the Euros, people will be saying, ah yes but, he needs a few games to get him up to speed!!

At a glance you would think Dougie is still there when the camera pans to the security dude.

Zych, Nedeljkovic and Philogene replace Gauci, Cash and Ramsey.

Yes, an overrated defender imo. I hope Mings and, importantly, Kamara come back as good as ever... and soon!

When he's good he's very good but he had a poor finish to the season and hasn't looked convincing pre-season.

Onana loves a tackle
