He does need to improve though. A slide tackle and a rallying cry to the fans isn’t enough in our midfield right now.

It’s worked for Coleman for 12 years
Passing needs major improvement.
He also needs to start imposing himself much more. He's 6 foot 4 yet barely wins any headers and those he does win bounce off his 50p head in every direction but towards goal.

I'm not too impressed with him so far...but I could say that about a dozen others too since August.

There are some players that look good in poor teams and average in better teams, and some that look less impressive and poor team but quality in better teams.
I suspect Onana falls into the latter profile, but when you consider he’s 21 - young for a traditional no 8 playing role, he’s first year in to the toughest league in Europe, in an inconsistent set up with yet another change of manager, I think overall he hasn’t done too bad.
If he’d come through the youth ranks as a 21 year old, more people may have held the same view but a price tag of £33m changes perceptions. I’d also say that with his height and leg stride, he’s better against front foot footballing teams where space is not as restricted, and less effective against two deep lying, tight banks of four.
He does need to work on the more technical aspects of his game which he would have got away with on the Continent, but pace and space afforded by the PL does not allow but hopefully this will develop in time.

Well, all the biffs on here telling us how rubbish he is must be delighted with today's squad. A midfield without Doucoure or Onana today [shudder].

Yes, what's this "unavailable" stuff?
I don't really rate this guy at all. He doesn't strike me as worthy of the hype that's been blown up by some. But why is he "unavailable"? Is he suspended or on some form of compassionate leave?
No one on here knows.
I'm pretty sure I saw him in the training pictures yesterday so hopefully not anything serious
