Shukes Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Still our biggest asset though. And these players aren’t kids, or shouldn’t be. If they can’t galvanise after a missed penalty… then they shouldn’t be in the professional game. Onana can be so annoying to watch. He has moments when he strides forward and looks like a Vierra…. And then spends the rest of the game looking likes he’s scared to go forward. But he has more good moments than bad for me and we would be a weaker team without him.

It's not even close, the weird fact is that Onana seems to be valued at a similar cost. Onana could be sold and replaced for less, Barkley and Garner were the best midfielders on the pitch yesterday. I'd have Barkley back in a heartbeat and said this a while ago. StevO and Matt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Going to be wildly unpopular here, but I’m changing my mind and thinking let’s cash in. I know he scored last night, but was it just me that thought he just slowed us down? He will only ever play a safe pass, never tries to thread it through. He is just so safe it slows our impetus down. If we could get 70 for him, I would snap there hands off. And now we have Garner. I think Garner is going to be Gana’s replacement, or could be if we cashed in on Onana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the numbers being thrown out there, I'd have expected to see more from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 It would have been nice if he had put a tackle in to prevent their goal. Generally he doesn’t do enough for me in all games, apart from waving his arms at the crowd. dunlopp9987 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Garner is going to be Gana’s replacement, or could be if we cashed in on Onana. I thought the complete opposite, I thought Garner was forever playing sideways and backwards all night and we lost control of the midfield Then Onana came on and did start moving us forwards and picking the right passes and we then started winning the midfield back and controlling the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the general feeling he doesn't give a shit - him and chermitti laughing their bollocks off at garners free kick wasn't a good look either.

I can’t see the bench from where I sit, but that’s not the sign of a team player, and I agree he always seems more concerned at pimping himself up over putting in POM performances, which I don’t think he’s ever won on TT.

I agree the midfield were ineffective a lot of the time, particularly Garner and McNeil who were imo very negative when in possession, never seemingly looking to play forward constantly playing back or sideway balls at best. But the long balls from Pickford and Tarkowski are starting to really irritate me, most of the time they just end up giving away cheap possession, we’ve forgotten the basics of football and how to play out from the back, it saddens me to say that we are the closest team I’ve seen to the Wimbledon of the 80s and early 90s.

I'm surprised how many fans missed out on him doing fuck all for their goal. When we conceded it - it boiled my piss having watched him laugh at James Garner. I'm not sure Garner will be happy about that. a few things have pissed me off with Onana, not even arsed about his wantaway interview..... he came off the subs bench after final whistle in the derby to laugh and joke with klopp and Nunez at the final whistle when we had been shit on by the officials. Loads of talent but generally he doesn't give a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 His Pickford impersonation wound me up. We worked out of defence fast and had momentum, the ball came to Onana and he completely killed it and sent it right back. A few players had a moan and he held his hands up and said calm down…. Becoming a proper scouse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
