For real. The moment you saw it was on target, you knew. All you can do is laugh.
It's one those balls where if you predict the trajectory of the ball and an opponent gets a touch, you're fecked. We see those type of goals every season in every league, De Gea's let in one of those. It's however the 2nd time for Onana this season.
It's one of those ball where if the opponent gets a touch, you're fecked anyways.
Yeah, point being it's a damned if you , damned if you don't type of ball.
He could have gone and claimed it if he had better starting position and didn't hesitate. It wasn't that hard of a ball to read. Even once there wasn't a touch, he had plenty of time to get down and make the save. The ball bounced over his hands
The point is that Onana puts himself in a spot to neither save the original cross if it doesn't get touched nor react to a touch if one happens. He leans towards where the ball is initially going so he can't properly react to a touch, but he doesn't lean enough to actually get there if it doesn't.
A keeper worth that price would easily go out and protect his box. He would dominate the air and I still fear into the attackers. Onana isn’t good at anything keeping wise. Hes a worse version. Of Ederson in every way shape and form
That's the last one I remember but I'm pretty sure he's allowed another in the Premier League.
Even ignoring literally all the other mitigating factors, it being open play makes a massive difference positioning-wise
He's been good since returning from the small injury. France will get a class player from him.
Sure, most goalies have let goals like that in at some point, but that doesn't change the fact that they're massive mistakes.
The back-up keeper for the local senior team, who regularly played in out pick up games and eventually in the local summer league for us said there's two thing he hated most as keeper: crosses where no one touches the ball and it goes straight in the far corner and getting chipped/lobbed. Side note, I got a taste of the latter when in a pick-up game I stopped a low cross in front of the goal instead of one-timing it, and as he had went down anticipating a shot, I flicked it over his flailing arms. Got a decent shove from him as a reward.
