2022/23 Amadou Onana

All of Onana’s potential relates directly to his physical attributes. He is quick, strong and tall. A good midfield player that does not always make.

I have not seen a single performance which has been above a 7/10. But I have seen lots of performances of 5/10. That is not surprising for a young player in a new team (and a very poor one) but it does raise concerns.

On this evidence, if we had our chance again would we have spent so much money on him? Or just left him to West Ham?

Look at my 2 posts above yours...all point to him being a top anchor for midfield in the making.
 
I think the midfield is actually being harshly done by. I don't think any of them had a bad game.

The drastic state of the attack means whenever they do something good, nothings coming of it so it just gets forgotten and then snowball's into isolating their mistakes

Prime example Gana winning the ball driving forward and putting it on a plate for Gordon, who misses because he's just not got the minerals imo

If Gordon scores that, people are raving over Gana
 

"Terrible player, not worth the money" etc etc

lol
You take out his stats for the first 4 games and compare them with the last 4 games and tell us the difference

This is what we are complaining about. The intensity and the energy level drop. As if he believes he can be world class without putting in yards.

Btw McNeil says hi.
 

Would rather stick him up top than play maupay to be honest, like we’d do with fellaini on occasion. At least we’d have a target to aim for if we’re lumping it long.
Why not think outside the box and put Keane up front? The way he put the Palace defence to task in the second half of that game last season showed he can make more impact, and score more goals, than Maupay ever will. Of course, Lampard does not think expansively. Most of his substitutions are like for like.
 
No, I’ll dig it up later, but I do remember his stats was extraordinary in the rs game. If that is what he is capable of, then I think his recent performances were mediocre.

Im just going off the sky sports stats posted in the article. They point at him being very effective from a defensive standpoint.

Ive not seen Gana's stats but I would imagine that his arent close to Onana's. If anything I'd be looking at Gana's performances as underwhelming.

Having said that, were talking about a 21 year old who will have ups/downs and who I think should be playing alongside Gana as an anchor.

Were yet to see the best of him but as a 'diamond' i think Pickford, Coady, Tarkowski, Onana looks impressive.
