Onana has more or less lived up to what can be expected of him this season IMO. He is still very young and can be important player for us in the future.

Completely agree.

Yep, me too.

Sometimes when we lose we really get some hyperbole comments. He’s been excellent, started very well, suffered an injury, come back and helped us try and achieve another high point tally.


Yes and along with Rogers he’s one of the few players who will drive through the centre with the ball. We need that.

I wonder if the price tag weighs heavily.  Was poor today and needs to be much more consistent next season.

Between him and Maatsen it's been a right waste of money so far last summer.
Some of Emerys signings look flawed and I'd add others to the 2 listed
McGinn, Mings, Konsa, Ramsey, Martinez, Watkins.  They are still the ones you really want on the pitch for the big games. A Dean Smith team.
Yep , they are still our best players , plus maybe Rogers though his form is off a cliff now . Not sure which players Emery has produced to advance us .

At least Tim is having a fun time, even if it’s the usual narratives.

Nice but...

Onana has been great of late, today, as with the whole set-up, it just didn't work.

Even today, I thought he had his best ten minutes immediately before he was taken off, and it was a slightly odd decision bearing in mind that, before the incident, a set piece probably looked our best chance of a goal.

I think the prolem was more with Watkins, Rogers, and to a lesser extent Marco.

Rogers overall game has dropped off a cliff - if still being in the goals and assists.  Today most things just boucned off Watkins and Marco was didnt do quite enough

Asensio hasn’t done enough in the last 5/6 games.

Watkins had a shocker, I do not think we can get away with Rogers and Assensio away from home.
Both ineffective today.

I like Asensio and he's been miles better than I thought he was going to be, but clearly the biggest issue is that he's sitting in Morgan Rogers' seat.

And we shouldn't put our now-reduced financial resources into a reason to play Rogers out of position.

Agreed - feels like a luxury we can do without.

A fantastic luxury if you can afford to and are willing to rotate with Rogers.
Sadly I think neither is true.
