Werner misses a simple 1 on 1.

How is Ugarte doing?

How is Ugarte doing?

Brilliant.

 

[Bounce]

Why is Hojlund not playing? Injured?

He’s on the bench so can’t be injured

 

[Robbo]

Onana going all Gordon Banks

 

[Converge]

Onana is really playing well. What a set of saves.

 

[Droolinggimp]

I said it before, Onana is proving to be a good keeper now. Still passing needs working on though lol.

We not defending well then

 

[explicit4u]

He really has quietly turned into a very decent keeper

 

[adam cool dude]

He has always been good. It doesn't help when he has a gazillion different back 4's in front of him though.

We are essentially playing with 10 men with Mazraoui in the no10.

True - but he almost single handedly got us knocked out the CL last season. De Gea wasn't so hot in his first season so Onana gets a pass from me. More concerned about how poor Zirkzee looks.
I wonder if we can get to half time without conceding?

I’ve been quite negative of Onana from the outset but I did temper that a bit last season as figured he was bound to be ‘shell shocked’ with the amount of shots coming his way. So I’m pleasantly surprised to see him improving so much - still think he’s prone to dropping a clanger but then what keeper isn’t.

 

[Thekwango]

More concerned about how poor Zirkzee looks.

He looks very raw I think.

Edit: or rather I hope he’s just very raw.

 

[Robbo]

We spent the majority of that half defending, under a lot of pressure, need to try and get some more control in the second half or we'll almost certainly concede.

Not great really.

 

[adam cool dude]

Not even surprised anymore.

 

[Robbo]

Didn't last long then. Aside from the goal we've been on the back foot all game. Poor.

 

[Bounce]

Terrible defending not even challenged

 

[Nate75]

Way too easy

 

[Calpol]

Poor defending that. That's why Lindelof should have been sold. To think we'd all prefer to see 37yo Evans there!

 

[Calpol]

He looks very raw I think.

Edit: or rather I hope he’s just very raw.

His touch and passing have been way off aside from his lay off assist. Thats at least three great opportunities wasted because he has overhit a pass by miles.
