Amadou Onana

[Brazilian Villain]

One of his best performances in a Villa shirt today.

Fast becoming one of my favourite players with a man bun.

Before you know it he'll be signing for Leeds .

Perhaps if Onana and Mings had played against Palace things could well have turned out different? Crazy that neither player got a single minute on the pitch at Wembley. Amadoj was immense today.

Henri Lansbury is sat home weeping at this.

[Aldridge Villa]

Yet again failed to step up to the mark and grab a game by the scruff of its neck. Really not sure if he’s any good. However I said the same about Youri back in the day and that didn’t turn out too badly.

[LeonW]

I think it’s fair to say there are question marks over him and the £50m we paid currently looks quite over priced.

[brontebilly]

Makes George Boateng seem like prime Pirlo in comparison. At least George had plenty of heart too. 50m on this utter fraud!

[pauliewalnuts]

He's been ok, but he's not been 50m ok.

And I don't like that routine with the crowd after we won, either, because when things go bad, it looks really shit.

[eamonn]

Really not sure on how technically good he is on the ball. I dont think he's in the class of Youri, Bouba or Doug before him. He does offer other things that they don't - athleticism, pace and aerial ability but when a game is won and lost in midfield, we might need better.

[aj2k77]

We don't miss him when he's out and for a £50m player that's a damning indictment. Big season for him next year because this one has been very stop start and poor.

some impressive games that catch the eye but largely poor

[Deano's Mullet]

Hes been average for much of when he has played - pretty much summed up on his home debut vs Everton when he was bundled over pathetically for their 1st goal and he was trying to claim a foul.

I said as much last summer. I had watched a lot of him at Everton & Belgium and I thought he was underwhelming. I thought he was oh=k and taht we weere overpaying for him.

One year on, I have seen nothing to change my mind. He could be anything and everything as a midfield general in the mould of Patrick Viera but I think he is a mile off it. He is brittle/a bit pussy and is happy to lope around making too many safe square balls. He is a modern day stat padder.

We paid £5m for Barkley and whilst he’s obviously much older, they’ve probably had equal seasons in terms of performances and outcomes.

Some of these hot takes are ridiculous. Onana is really young and had been having his best form of the season in the past few weeks. He wasn't great today, but none of them were. He is only going to get better and better.
