Id prefer if neither got abused but Onana is wrongfully targeted, he can play well and have a decent game and still get called out, it doesn't make sense to me. Week in/week out shouts from the stands 'you're effin shi you' etc when the lads done nothing wrong, this has been going on far before the pen miss btw.

I don't disagree, the hatred towards him is bizarre to the extent posters making stuff up to have a pop. I have a hard time believing anyone can be so stupid to objectively accuse him of 'going missing' or 'being lazy' on Saturday and thats without even going into the stats, but like I said they are predisposed opinions. Garner (like everyone apart from Onana) on Saturday just couldn't get the errors on the ball out of his game, he kept going though and is clearly a good footballer. Fingers crossed they both play well tonight.

We seem to jag wins when least expected so I'm actually confident for this one. So 7-0 Fulham it is

Other than the 'cos he's white' shout which I admit is a reactionary statement. where am I wrong? Garner can do nowt wrong in some fans eyes whereas Onana gets absolutely abused at the game and online for putting in better performances, bit hypocritical no?

It is just the racism statement, I think it's very harsh and unsubstantiated. I think that Onana and Garner are both young and are learning each others games, and both can have off days as well as good games.

i think the whole team look jaded at the minute. I will retract the finger.

This is exactly what happened to Ross Barkley though

Barkley left years ago, i'm talking about two players who play together. one gets fairly treated and one doesn't, just wondering why that is, still not had a answer

Onana has had more bad games, cost a lot more, and has a perceived higher ceiling = higher expectations for me. Garner gets slated too let's not act like he doesn't. Just in the last game he was called crap by loads of posters.

I think because Onana is seen as some world class player in the making who isn't up to that standard yet and that frustrates people, wrongly but I reckon that is a reason, whereas Garner is just Jimmy from the Wirral lad lol rightly or wrongly the price tag will have an affect with some fans as well.

I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE GET OFF ON ABUSING PLAYERS BUT THAT IS THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN AT THE MINUTE

Oh ffs caps, not typing it again.
