oishiiniku_uk Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 1 hour ago, Wezbid said: Perhaps what Everton fans perceived as throwing his arms about in a paddy is actually him trying to orchestrate and dictate where players could/should be. I didn't see most of the 2nd half but looked good what I did see, including that early pass to Philogene that was class. Dyche's Everton don't care about dominating the ball or playing through the middle of the pitch so you're losing a lot of Onana's ability on the ball in a system like that. It was encouraging to see him pinging the ball about and being the fulcrum in possession. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The fact that Dyche had him on the bench was thing that convinced me he was bound for greatness. Similar to on our way to relegation we couldn't find a spot for Albrighton. Bad teams have a horrible time getting the best from upcoming talents. He is going to be an amazing signing for us. The one issue is he is definitely not a creative type. A Kamara and Onana double pivot may be too negative for anything other than the most elite attacking sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I haven't seen him play yet, but I've finally got around to watching the interviews and hearing him talk. He is clearly a highly intelligent and down to Earth person. This alone tells me his potential is off the charts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was doing a lot of the in possession stuff with Belgium so clearly has the capability and with coaching in our system that will be improved. He's so big and crazy long limbs he can shield the ball so we'll in taking passes under pressure because of his physical attributes. I'd expect to see him added late box crashing into his game too. He can score with later runs from crosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Nice cameo this morning, he's going to be a key player for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 seeing such a big, honking tank of a man in central midfield for us is almost orgasmic. Can pick a pass too, and when he starts running he's a bit like Marvel's Juggernaut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Great cameo last night. Displayed all the attributes you’d want from a CM—tackling, pace, strength and could pick out a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 28 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28 Thought he was very impressive last night. Can't wait to see more. Loved that bit where he lost the ball then won it back with those massive legs. Regarding the song. We are Aston Villa. I know it, you know it, we all know it. It's going to be Onana, whoa ho. Onana, whoa whoa whoa ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
