2022/23 Amadou Onana

[witchdoc187]

No we need him to dribble through players as if they're standing still and slot in the top corner.

its absolutely this isnt it. If people dont see him doing this over and over again hes doing nothing.

I think he plays the game his manager tells him to. The reason the results have improved since Dyche took over is that we now play as a team and follow a plan. The days of Onana being told, under Lampard, to just go out and play, have long gone. I think that now Doucoure will miss a few games, we will see Onana given licence to make his surging runs forward again. Hopefully Garner will be given the sitting role for a while, mind you, he may even go with Iwobi or Davies,I hope not though.

Onana has been doing his job. Lampard gave him freedom to 'express himself' but that didn't get us points.

What is his job in your opinion because I can’t make out what he is supposed to be doing ambling and wandering around the field marking space, that‘s when he comes back into the game after going missing for minutes on end, is he an attacking midfielder or a defensive one? Can you enlighten me I’m honestly bemused by what his job is although I do know he isn’t very good at whatever he is being asked to do.

I hope he's more composed than the last time he was getting chances.

Actually curious if people have his stats handy from the Dyche games? Heat map, tackles, passes, etc…

"I haven't the faintest what he does but he's really bad at it" lol

So what do you expect him to do, honestly?

A lot bleedin‘ more than he does at the moment because he does next to nothing, I thought he was a box to box player up and down the pitch playing with vigour and bossing his opponents, instead he goes down in a heap too often for the least thing, I saw Keane get up, ten seconds after a very bad tackle the other night on his right foot, then not long after smash a cracking goal with the same foot, Onana would have been still on the floor minutes after that tackl, I think we will miss Doucoure a lot more than Onana in the next three games that’s for sure.

So you just imagine what players would do based on no information and are disappointed when they don't play that way, makes sense.

I've also seen players stay down for ages, the fact Keane got up means literally nothing at all and he's still a terrible footballer.

We'll miss Doucure but only because Dyche will play Tom Davies in his position and we'll essentially be playing with a player short for 78 minutes until he subs him off.

Depends what task is given him by Dyche. Should we warn all the interested clubs in Onana that he is not cracked up to what you expect him to be. The lad is talented and it is up to the manager to bring that talent to the fore even more

Some of his headers have been wayward too.

Well if all those clubs supposedly interested in Onana have got their scouts watching him they will know how good he is and switch their attention elsewhere,I’m still waiting to see that talent, haven’t had much luck in seeing it, maybe he is holding it back!!

Come on though, talk of £70m based on what we've seen so far? If that's the bid coming in then we need to say good luck and goodbye. Even if he was to reach the peak of his potential I can't believe there would be a bid that much higher at any stage of his career.

its what the potential buyers have seen that counts…..not some fans on a forum ……I think he’s done ok……anyone buying him now is buying more for his potential and whilst £70m may seem overvalued, it may be because we wont see that potential at Everton with the players he plays with, where at Arsenal and Chelsea they see that as cheap given the players he may get to play with - I think £70m feels about right on those terms

Given some of the crazy fees I've seen, I think he could have a ceiling a lot higher than that.

But yes, we should take 70m.

All the bedwetters here slaughtering Onana would say exactly the same thing about Paul Bracewell.
I watched Bracewell control many, many games and still went unnoticed, which is exactly the player we need right now.
Stop doing comparisons, he is who he is.

Bracewell was absolutely brilliant but suffered that injury and that took a bit out of him….I’ll always remember that pass to Steven in the 4-1 win vs Sunderland at home
