Starting to regret spending so much on him. Just never  fit. For 50m and at his young age you would think he would have better fitness  record.

Very frustrating

Would Juve be interested? Swap him for the Doug.

He's played 44% of minutes available this season. Rubbish.

Is he injured again?

Could be illness. Emery didn't mention him missing in the presser, and whilst it doesn't rule out an injury picked up yesterday it could just be a bug or other personal reason.

Totally forgot about Onana for today’s game. Says it all.

Quite a bit, it seems.

Yeah I mean it happens. It’s funny that we win in the FA Cup, play really well but some have to seek out a player to criticise.

I don't think on the pitch he's been as bad as portrayed.

However for 50m he should be actually on the pitch far more than he is.

Think it's been said he's completed just seven games for us so that's not good and I can think of at least four games when he hasn't even made a second half.

Hopefully it's just teething problems but I felt much better tonight with McGinn back centrally. He can do stuff with his back to goal that is currently beyond Onana.

The fee is hardly Onana's fault and he's struggled with injuries. Seems to be the latest player to attract the doubters.

I don't think he's been bad on the pitch.  In fact I think he's actually exactly the type of player we need as he wins the ball back for us quickly and high up the pitch. 

The injuries are mounting up now though, and although they may not be his fault, it is getting a bit frustrating, especially with Kamara and Bogarde having to deputise at the back.

He's tall and still quite young. I wonder if his body hasn't quite settled down yet.

The criticism he gets is so unjustified. I’m sure he doesn’t plan to get hurt.
