We said it once and twice, the primary job of a GK is to save goals.

Modern Football fans throw on us their football masturbation ideas like a GK must play good with his feet, makes long passes, build up the play as if he is Toni Kross or Pirlo.

Again little boys, a GK who can't save goals is useless. A GK who dive and save like Onana does is shit. Onana is just clown who had the chance to play for a great club like Man U. Zero responsability, Zero Commitment, Zero focus, Zero everything.

Onana literally costed Man U this easy group stage (Every Game a major mistake or two) but it is fine since he makes some funny dives and has 99% pass accuracy.

You know there are not many real class keepers right? Who do you think they should have brought instead?

[–] Ok_Muffin2888@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Should have kept DDG instead. The transfer of Mount was another waste of money.

[–] FearlessPeanut9076@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Everyone was moaning about DDG last season as well

[–] Good_March_3033@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yann Sommer

David Raya

Kepa

[–] FearlessPeanut9076@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Now we're talking. Has Raya been much better for Arsenal tho? I don't think Kepa would have come but at least you're giving options

easy group stage

This is the part I don't agree with; this is what most online Man Utd fans say everytime they lose or draw:

"We're so crap, this was such an easy match to win, it was x player fault, Glazers out!". It's all they can say...

I mean, how about respecting your rival for once. Ever since they announced the group stage, they thought they were in the round of 16 already. Some clowns like Mark Goldbridge even tipped them as favorites to win this UCL.

Seriously, if you never saw any danger in a team with Ziyech, Icardi, Torreira, Zaha, Muslera, etc, is because you're either a delusional or an arrogant fan. And now look, you might not even go to Europa League.

Your group stage with your budget is piss easy compared to Dortmund

Pathetic

[–] Appropriate_Elk_6113@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ziyech, Icardi, Torreira, Zaha, Muslera, etc,

Theyre fine?

If you have anything close to the budget United have you should be walking over them. And theyre not because utd are wank from top to bottom

[–] Miserable-Lunch-8208@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not only that, the defenders from the other team are slow as a snail, and the decisions in the final third were shocking from united.

[–] Miserable-Lunch-8208@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That is an easy group?? What are you on about, mate?? The defense from Galatasaray was shocking, and there were no midfielders tracking back and so much space between mid and defense back line and behind them as well. They should have thumped them 6 or 7 goals with the amount of chances they had and the 3v3, 4v4 they had. This deflecting the blame from the players by making it seem like they played against tougher opposition is pretty poor. Even the attack was disjointed by Galatasaray, and onana had one of the worst gk performances this season. That is inexcusable, and they should be rightly criticized.

Never liked Onana, never thought he was a top GK, but I am finding it fun to see he is being so bad at united that he will probably get stuck there for a long time, as no club will pay for him and his high wages after a disaster season like this.

[–] l-isqof@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This. Which ManU players are heads and shoulders above their direct opponent? No one is really doing great and saving themselves.

[–] CreativeOrder2119@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Onana is dross perfect punishment for united for Ferguson years 🤣

[–] Futlord@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If you observe, Onana doesn't have a good backline at man utd to give support, so he fumbles most of the times, nevertheless he's a good gk and I wish he gets back into his form

[–] freebaconcheesburger@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's funny how everyone who joins Manchester United immidiately becomes a worse player. Onana was the best GK in the UCL last season, but I guess it has nothing to do with having a proper defense and team in front of him. Di Maria, Pogba, Alexis Sanchez, Varane, Casemiro, even Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone who joins this shitty club suddenly becomes the worst version of themselves. Ever wondered why? That's some good food for thought.

I'm not saying Onana hasn't made his mistakes, but all your fanbase can do for the past decade is to find scapegoats, hate them 24/7 and blame them for every single thing. Onana is the only reason you even have one win in the groups, without that penalty save you'd be eliminated from both UCL and UEL right now.

[–] ThorIsMighty@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You haven't enlightened anyone with that. The structure of the club and the damage it has done to players' careers the past decade is talked about ALL THE TIME on the Utd subs.

We have the most fans in the world and it's not even close. Of course there will be many reactionary morons who probably only support the club because it was the only one they knew. Surely fans of other teams, being so much smarter of course, would realise this. In short, your comment of "all your fanbase" basically means "a small group of people on social media".
