2022/23 Amadou Onana

[blueblood]

Early in the season he looked to drive forwards with the ball. He’s stopped doing that now. Don’t know if he’s been told not to do it or if he’s lacking in confidence, but it was potentially a real strength that he seems to have lost.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

What is his role?

That is a big concern for me - we paid a fortune for him and he's no clear role that I can tell?

The fella is a massive talent too, so it's a reflection on Lampard.

This.

First few games he was everywhere, involved, driving forward, everyone was buzzing.

Now the poor lad has had the life sucked out of him. I reckon after he made that error that led to the goal a while back management told him not to go forward. Either that, the Everton curse, or he just can’t be arsed all of a sudden.

I doubt it’s the latter. I think he’s a great talent, and cares.

He is playing in a team with no direction, without leaderships.

Biggest disappointment for me out of the recent signings, ok that should be Maupay, however, we knew he was Shyte and Brighton pretty much mugged us. Onana came with a reputation as a no nonsense midfielder that would drive box to box with the ability to split defences and create. He's as good as a very poor Dacoure and yet again the board have managed to spunk much needed funds on another player void of talent.

 

[MACCA75]

Hasn’t offered a lot has he

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Would like to see him under a manager that knows what they're doing.

Poor blokes been stuck between El Loco for Belgium and Lampard here.

 

[Number_25]

I don't know what he does. I think he's a very skilful player, but I don't think anyone knows where his role is.

Been put into the deep end here.

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

He can sack that cheerleading [Poor language removed] off for a start the big dope

He hardly played for lille last season. And previously was in the 2nd division in germany.
He could be a talent. But im not sure why he's already got that tag. Its like people think it was guarenteed when he hasnt done anything really of note before coming here.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I've said for a long time that that £30m / whatever it was could have been used so, so much smarter.

 

[Axlswhk]

I hate the way he points at the direction he feels the ball should be played. Non of that fingering points to a forward pass. It’s all sideways and backwards. Useless coward player.

Lampard said the other week he was still trying to work out what role suits him. Made a lot of sense, it’s looked like Lampard hasn’t really known where or how to play him since he signed him.

Also have to wonder why you sign someone if you don’t know what their best role is or how you want them to fit into your team.

 

[JimmyToffee]

This lad has the ability, have to remember he’s in a new league and hasn’t really had a relatively consistent role nailed down for him. Not one to write off just yet
