Well, having seen Carlos pass to him, I don't think he covers himself in glory, as he's not on his toes and hasn't the quickest reactions and said this about positioning in previous games.
Carlos pass came up short. Onana doesn't react though. 
 
Also, his act of petulance being annoyed being subbed and hitting his fist down isn't someone who understands yet the squad system.

I would prefer a player to be angry at himself for being subbed.

Blaming Onana for the wolves goal is a very odd take

Onana did nothing wrong , the pass to him was woefully short , Emery will be furious with Carlos

The error was the pass from Carlos, pretty obvious. These things happen, we move on. Stop trying to over scrutinise everything.

Most definitely Carlos's fault. He nearly did it again in the second half. Onana was not to blame in the slightest.

Carlos needed to take 2 touches, not to try and play it with 1 at that angle. It was really poor. Blaming the guy who made himself available for the pass is laughable.

The pass was short and misdirected. It was a good idea as Onana was well positioned to break the press and get us away up the pitch.

There's absolutely no blame on Onana whatsoever. It's a shocker of a pass, and then to further compound his error, Carlos hardly busts a gut to get back and cover. Just terrible defending from start to finish. He rightly looked deeply embarrassed afterwards.

You must have been watching a different game.That goal was all down to a piss poor pass from Carlos. His poor distribution skills are the reason we will ship him out when the right offer comes in. He's a solid defender but our playing system requires defenders to be good on the ball too.

Lots of reason to criticise our lack of balance with him in the team and his lack of composure on the ball but I wouldn’t blame him for the goal.

We’ve looked so much better in recent games with Barkley in the team instead of Onana.

At times maybe but I thought Onana had a really strong game against Young Boys. Surely the whole point of having a deeper squad is to give the manager options both in the starting 11 and from the bench.

I thought Onana was one of the better players yesterday before he went off, but quite right to sacrifice him for a more attacking player and nice that we have so many options to do so. Much better than a few years ago when our attacking change was always bring on whichever of Trezeguet/El Ghazi didn't start the game in place of the one that did.
