macandally Posted Sunday at 10:14 Share Posted Sunday at 10:14 I think Onana loves it here, but important he doesn’t suddenly think that this is it. He needs the same work ethic and drive that has seen Emery transform other players in this team. He is by no means the finished article and experience suggests we will see the best of him next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just don't have that vision Tielemans has, doesn't matter how much time they have they will never be able to play forward passes like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted Tuesday at 20:55 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:55 I hope he has a Tielemans style resurgence once he gets used to Emery's training, but he's not been very good this season to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted Tuesday at 21:00 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:00 Awful this evening, second time he has appeared disinterested. My cousin is a ST holder at Everton and he told me he goes missing when he feels like it. Thought it was sour grapes. Not so sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted Wednesday at 02:10 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:10 I think its getting clearer that he should play the tougher matches. Away from home (well this was away but a league 1 team). I’m not sure about Ipswich approach but I assume they play good football, if that was the case then he starts. For tough home games he starts as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Bailey or Barkley looked that up for it either, tbh. I think there's an element of preserving energy levels in games like last night's. And if you don't play at the right tempo then you won't pull a packed defence - even if it's a just a League One team - out of position. Also, are we really expecting Onana to be more than just tidy on the ball? He's not going to play incisive passes (at least not at this stage of his career), that's more the role of Barkley/Tielemans. And his physicality alone isn't going to make things happen in the midfield if there's no forward momentum/space being created by the passing and movement of the other central midfielder or the centre backs, who (esp. Torres) are integral to how we progress the ball in our methodical build-up. Edited Wednesday at 06:24 by oishiiniku_uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he played for that reason. Started the season well but having a bit of a blip. With how Emery treated Rodger’s I see the same with Onana, he’s playing him and including last night to continue to drill him in exactly what he wants. I have full faith he will become consistently good but he’s in for a fight when Kamara gets fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted Wednesday at 06:41 Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 06:41 The man has gone from missing piece of the jigsaw to apparently trash in the eyes of some in the space of a month. We probably want to take a good look in the mirror to establish why we tend to veer so violently between these extremes because it's more about us as fans than Onana (or anyone else) as a footballer. Is anyone above critique? No. But some of the responses here make me think you need to give your head a wobble. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted Wednesday at 06:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:48 Onana gave us something we didnt have with size and strength, i think when Bouba is back we have 4 in Youri/Onana/Kamara/Barkley that can play in the middle and can be used/mixed & matched vs our opponents - We had nothing like Onana previously and i think games last night are more for break teams down types - I was far more dissapointed with Bailey for that reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a bad game yesterday but didn't look any worse than the other senior players that started. They all seemed to be holding back.
