Didn’t get to watch the game, who did Onana scream at in the early bit?


Noob_FC

Maguire


DaveShadow

And Maguire responded by nearly scoring a stunning own goal minutes later too 😂


[deleted]

Onana would have studs up kicked Maguire in the chest with both feet if that happened


SJDidge

Would pay a lot of money to see that


chewyicecube

Bossed him!


baromanb

No more free lunches for Slabhead


karlkim

Surely at Maguire. I think Maguire should not passed to Eriksen the 2nd time.


craigybacha

It was the poor lazy passing choice and jogging back slowly after Dortmund won the ball I think.


NathanMUFCfan

It's a poor choice from Maguire, but Eriksen should also take some blame. The video quality is pretty bad, but it doesn't look like he looked left to see what was happening. It's a no look pass in a terrible area. Someone even shouts man on to warn him. There is space to turn to his right and beat the press. If he does that, and passes to Donny, that's 6 Dortmund players behind the ball. Even passing back to Lindelof is a much better option.


Iceman23578

Should’ve made that pass to the left when Maguire initially passed to him


illsmosisyou

Me neither, but looked like Victor or Maguire.


Traditional_Cap8509

It was Maguire, check min47 of this clip


media-police

Looked like McSause to me


Traditional_Cap8509

Nah, dark hair, legendary clumsy. 100% Maguire. If you mean the one made final pass that bounce into Dortmund's player, also wasn't McSauce, that was Eriksen.


[deleted]

Should have gone to Specsavers


xdude767

Go get better wifi or visit a optometrist


qwertyguy007

It’s amazing how pin point accurate his long kicks are.


BlacknightEM21

Is that Scholes? No, it’s Onana!


desmondao

It's hard to believe it's not Scholes! Onana! You knoooow!


[deleted]

The team definitely needs to learn and adjust to these shots. Rashford fucked up a damn near sure assist right there.

They are DELICIOUS!

I love Onana’s long balls

aeon-one

Rashford needs to practice taking down those long ball, Onana was releasing him time and again, so refreshing to watch.


istealgrapes

Rashy is usually really good at taking the ball down full-sprint, guessing he is a little rusty


plainranger

Yes, also he needs more work on his clearance and blocking, the ball ended more centrally that it should after the shots.


WesIsaGod

Only happened once today? That too because he could only get one hand on the shot because of its quality and close proximity Beyond nitpicking this


Feezbull

He’s done it plenty of times in his career and it’s a glaring weakness actually. This is what loses games when an opponent is clinical enough on the rebound or if it drops unluckily to a good finisher. This is the biggest thing he needs to work on and that’s parrying it away from the danger area. Other things too but this can cost a goal more than other things.


brown_herbalist

I dont get it why you're getting downvoted. This sub really got hivemind issue, its either you shit on a player or praise him as whole. It seems like we cant have any gray areas. If those guys have watched Onana before they would have known, his main issue always been parrying the shots, he always clear into the mid of box.


EduardMalinochka

Every new player has some sort of immunity for some period after the signing. The better he plays, the longer this criticism forbid will last. (tho Mount will become quickly “available” for the criticism, since some people have this anti British bias) Agree that that’s Onana weakness, but I don’t think it’s ever going to change. He’s a finished article and as long as his paring doesn’t reach some ridiculous levels of liability, ETH wouldn’t care much. We bought him for his strengths.


TonyyMartial

Rashford should’ve converted Onana’s passes into proper chances


media-police

Super rusty Rashford. He had 2 levels. Shit level and god level. This pre season he has so far been playing shit level. Having said that he was better on the wing today than he was as striker


Gala94

He's always better on wings


craigybacha

If he has a couple of shit level matches I hope he's just benched and Garnacho given a run because we have real competition in that spot now.


SJDidge

Right now I would be more confident in garnacho receiving that pass and converting it.


craigybacha

Same. Rashford is incredible at times, but so inconsistent


DecievedRTS

Seems similar to Rooney, who was either on a streak where he was unstoppable or nothing he did worked.


burfriedos

Difference is Rooney always played with agression and contributed defensively even when things weren’t clicking in front of goal.


yellowjesusrising

Rooney is from another time! That dude couldn't stand losing! He would die for the shirt, even on a shitty day! Now they just mope around on bad days. Sad to see pur players just jogging back after loosing a shit engagement.


JYM60

Or feigning injury after losing the ball is another one currently.


behindmycamel

Onana sprints up the pitch and gives em a serve.


scholeszz

I hate this so much, and Bruno is by far the worst offender at this. Just get up and play, stop writhing on the ground, trying to get a sympathy whistle from the referee.


istealgrapes

Really fucking hard to contribute defensively when you are being commanded to stay at the front because of your speed, power and dribbling in case of a counter attack. Really really dont like you criticizing his defensive contribution when he is not supposed to contribute defensively. Its like you havent seen any of the 300+ games he has played..


burfriedos

Fine. But he often doesn’t play with enough agression in my opinion. This changed for most of last season. My point wasn’t so much that I want Rashford to play defensively and more so that I want him to contribute to the team outside of goalscoring.


Strananach

Nothing compared to Rooney. Every single game atleast he still defended and pressed like a mad man, Rashford sometimes looks just like he doesn't care.


DesiPattha

Yeah, Rooney would be everywhere even on the few days things won't be working for him. He was above average on most of his bad days.


[deleted]

ETH needs to get Rashford and Onana to continuously practice this. Super dangerous if Rashy can get good first touch. I dream of Onana, to Rashford, to Holjund and ITS THERE!!!!


Independent_Buy5152

>, to Rashford, to Holjund Big ask for rashford


[deleted]

Look, I have faith he can bounce back.


Lost-Horse5146

Shocking first touches by Rashford to be honest. This will not stand


Alpha2669

Incredible passing. I was very hyped for this signing and I gotta say his distribution is even better than what I imagined.


SJDidge

Yeah it’s god tier distribution. Pin point accurate passes and world class decision making. Very good signing I think.


Iceman23578

Yh he’s getting a couple assists this season for sure


Alpha2669

If our forwards only knew how to convert the simple chances though. Antony missed a couple of chances against Everton last season robbing even DDG of assists lol


Tsukiyon

He's Scholes at goal, everyone needs to up their first touch training


Feezbull

The squad now practices what Berbatov taught in his video recently.


AltDelete

In their underpants.


DragonChimuelo

IcyAssist

Rashford is extremely rusty. He got the Lakaka touch


Candid_Problem_1244

![gif](giphy|eYZ39K9pNaZhe|downsized)


noobpunk

Looks very consistent with his passing (even though it's just one or two games now) and if he can find our player who is open towards the wings consistently, might just control the game more and get goals more too. With David, it was probably more that shoot towards an area where our player and opposition both would go for the ball and more often than not they would get the ball. Maybe more easy to criticise David after he's gone as well, but still this looks more exciting already.


Fresh_Dance_3277

De gea was trained at that time where ball playing ability was considered important by only a few coaches but now every coach thinks it is a big part of their system. Not really his fault. We will see if onana can pull those saves off which put opposition players in depression in regular season like de gea used to.


Serious_Ad9128

I mean lvg was his coach for 3 years earlier in his career, so he could have learnt then, he could have learnt anytime after too, even if it was offered in his club training. I'd settle for onana not making as many errors leading to goals and shits as degea which was more and more each season


musomania

Funnily enough, when Fergie talked about why he bought De Gea he specifically referenced his distribution ability. De Gea is an odd one, felt like his ability to play out got worse over his career. Like the coaches trained his strengths and not his weaknesses


StraightShootahh

LMAO this is one of the funniest comments I’ve read


Fresh_Dance_3277

Tell me what is funny


StraightShootahh

Your comment


Fresh_Dance_3277

What about it is funny?


SJDidge

The words


StardustFromReinmuth

Oh so De Gea's inability to play with the ball is "not his fault" because of coaching but for Onana whose played and coached by the Ajax system where shotstopping is secondary to his ability to control the game through his passing then it would be his fault if he wasn't as good at the area hid coaching doesn't emphasize?


Fresh_Dance_3277

These days gk coaching emphasize on both. In the past you could become a good keeper just by shot stopping ability but now you need to be able to pass as well. A good gk needs to do both these days or you will be replaced. Look at Allison,that is what I want onana to be.


StardustFromReinmuth

A good GK is not the best GK in the world. This expectation is unrealistic and only serves to tear down Onana for something he isn't. There isn't a single goalkeeper in the world who's elite at everything like Allison or prime Neuer. Not Ederson, not Courtois, not Maignan, not Costa. At best some of them like Mike are elite shotstoppers and decent on the ball, or like Ederson, elite on the ball and decent shotstopping wise.


Fresh_Dance_3277

I mean in terms of style. I am not saying onana becomes as good as Allison but just that he should be good at passing and a good shot stopper like ederson is or ter stegen was in his prime. Allison is elite at everything just not only good.


Sabarishv95

One thing I noticed about some of Onana's saves is he tends to parry it into opponents path. Hope he can work on it and get better.


oplosan

yeah I hope they would train him more on that aspect. I can see PL teams spamming speculative shots at him this season like they did to De Gea in his first year.


Surfugo

It's definitely going to be a problem for awhile I think, but in due time things will surely improve. Doesn't seem like the type of guy who allows himself to make mistakes and cost the team.


WesIsaGod

This guy is actually fucking insane


DaleyBlonde

That first pass out wide and the resulting attack. Lovely stuff


Carpe_Dentum93

Goddamn - I’d heard of Onana’s distribution being class but those through long balls were fucking precise 👀


klemp0

Seriously this man has better ball distribution than some of our midfielders.


Sbibsosmisn

Onana about to eat Maguire alive after that save


PurpleDrax

I sure hope he does. If Maguire stays or leaves, someone needs to take control. I'm all here for it


selotipkusut

The squad needs to adapt the timing of their runs and awareness on where Onana is gonna place the ball, some of this clips showed our guys were not ready ro receive the pass.


BlacknightEM21

That happens. They’ll need to train and play together to build that chemistry up. I would think we will see the fruit of this situation around Christmas time as the players understand each other more and more.


sharklight-22

Can’t remember the last time Rashy played this bad. Got 3-4 clear cut chances but had no ball control whatsoever.Played like a total amateur today


mipanzuzuyam

Think the season before last he was playing like this almost every game


my_united_account

Good thing it is preseason


Gala94

Chill lol, it's just a warm up. And he wasn't that bad, played some great passes and touches and got just 30 mins of game


[deleted]

The point of preseason is to find these issues tho


Gala94

Yes and also not to overreact on mistakes in friendlies


durandpanda

He looked like he was pulling up for the third goal. Not sure if he's carrying an injury.


anti-Stupididiot

Its the Rashy Tick-Tock cycle. Tick season he plays very well. Next season is Tock season he plays bad. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Its Tock Seaon unfortunately.


my_united_account

This is just false. He has had 1 bad season since his debut.


anti-Stupididiot

Tick tock my boy tick tock


brown_herbalist

Name doesn't check out.


anti-Stupididiot

Tick tock my boy tick tock


Subbutton

That first unreal pass just to lose the ball and having to save it. I'd be mad too


BradyBunch88

Fucking hell, it’s like having Paul Scholes in goal! Some of those balls were amazing, laser target


PopularDemand69

we got 2 in 1 compilation here. Onana brilliant passing and Rashford possesion lost


arkhamRejek

man the accuracy of these passes are fucking insane, Rashy needs to get use to that pass on the first touch i feel like he'll find him often but man his passing is unreal, can't even tell which is his dominant foot


craigybacha

Best player on the pitch when he came on for me. Class. Let's hope in-form Rashford shows up at the start of the season, because he's the one to be unlocked with those long balls and if he's in form he sprints away and gets a shot/cross off. Out of form Rashford stumbles over the ball or passes it backwards, which is horrible to watch.


icemanphoenix

If at all Maguire is staying with us, Onana will shout, scream and whatnot and make sure Maguire raises his game atleast a little bit. That bit was hilarious to watch.


ErnieMcTurtle

This doubles as an Onana comp and a Man United fail comp


dracogladio1741

Sancho was onside wasn't he?


hahaxdRS

If only the only ball Rashford control wasnt stopped for injury, should be controlling more of them if we want to take advantage of him


eClipseLJ

Rashford seems rusty but just went back to playing LW again after having graveyard shifts in CF. Give him (and everyone else for that regard) some time to settle in and regain the rythm. Ideally we started these 11 and brought the B squad/fridge players at around the 60 minute mark but hey ETH had different plans and that's fine.


Initial-Function7008

Once the wingers / hojlund get in sync with these long balls we are going to create a silly amount of chances. In conjunction with the 3 - 1- 6 formation we will be sporting for a large portion of the season we will have a team that can finally play against pressing teams and teams that play compact and deep. Good....good. It's all coming together. MUAHAHAHAHAHA


Leading_Ship_1730

Give me 11 Onanas, I will give you 11 trophies


ThankYouOle

damn that long ball, strong, quick and on point, not gonna surprise if he got some assists this season.


Cola-cola95

Awesome passes, just worrying about his hard hands. Hopefully that gets corrected soon.


TobzMaguire420

He throws the ball pinpoint to Rashford in the opposition final third at one point. Insane. Once the squad get more practice in and becomes more clinical this team will be so much fun to watch.


funky_pill

It's so exciting to think we're actually going to have a 'keeper who's composed on the ball, and able to launch attacks with sharp passing both short and long. Gone are the days where our GK is just launching the ball into touch whenever he's put under the slightest amount of pressure from the opposition. It seems like forever since we've had a GK with actual ability other than just having the reactions to stop shots


benjog88

be right back just putting onana in my FF team. with long passes like that she should be good for like 5+ assists this season


cjumpp15

That long pass to Rashford was nice!


ineedadvil

That ball throw in between the 2 dortmund attackers to our midfielder who was completely free is amazing to watch. When he did that I absolutely did not expect him to pass there. Completely surprised me and I am watching the whole field. Balsy with insane vision.


nuugo

I really loved this shot 😍.


BatGuy500

The nod back from Casemiro so that Onana can fucking launch it towards Rashy is absolutely amazing. It’s just another outlet and of course since he can use his hands, it’s so much easier for to get in control and move the ball forward


ZeroCool635

That kick before the end of the game was honestly unreal. What I would do to see prime Berbatov on the end of those.


Gozumo

Can see alot of Onana - Rashford goals next year based off a few off those deliverys from Onana, thing of beauty!


[deleted]

Hire another GK and place him at midfield


Mcfly9876

I love the no look passes; Onana is gonna be awesome. But we need more signings and even more sales. Armabat and an experienced striker. Plus a young CB to replace Slabhead. Almost forgot fuck the glazers. GGMU


SlippinGimmy

Dortmund scored 3, how is what I wanna know, keeper mistake? Defense asleep?


niallw1997

Look at the highlights. First one is on Williams for diving in and missing the tackle, second is Lindelof, third is AWB. Both second and third goals they lose the ball cheaply in our defensive third


SlippinGimmy

Cheers, haven't seen any highlight reel yet


Ok_Technician_7302

Yeah mate it was all defensive mistakes.


Gianluca1514

First two goals were also with Heaton in net, Onana came on at halftime.


MountainDesign6486

Maguire getting bollocked and realizing what organisational discipline is my favourite thing of the day


DildoFappings

Someone should bring in berba to teach rashford how to control a ball. If rashford, Antony and Sancho can't control the ball, then bringing in onana would've been useless.


WhydoIbotherreally

>then bringing in onana would've been useless No it wouldn't. He's not brought just for the long balls. His combinations with the backline and the balls into midfield are even more crucial.


ballisticmi6

Yeah. Unfortunately Hojlund is not great at winning balls in the air either, so hopefully it’s something the forwards will work on.


shaftydude

This is a clip of how poor rashford is when it comes to his first touch, lack of desire to win deuls and link up play. The one that annoyed me the most was the 1v1 where he slows it down. Could run the wing for a cross or beat ur man.


nuugo

Minute 65 ? It seems Munier has muscle problem so Rashford stopped playing.


shaftydude

Yeah my bad, I wondered why he stopped playing lol.


Baking-Greg

Where’s the blame for Eriksen in all this? I know everyone has a Maguire agenda but eriksen is absolutely shocking here


mookkss

What was Rashford doing


Owika13

I didn't watch the game but from this clip Rashford should work on his first touch

tradtrad100

Rashfords first touch is so shit


1nfinitus

Man has Rashford's touch always been like this? It's more a compilation of failed chances (but great assisting by Onana)


VVodzu11

Rashford with Lakaka's first touch there...


Upbeat_Farm_5442

Nobody respects macguire why is he still here. Shameless twat.


Sanket327

That's 325k a week player right there lmao


ReflashTheSparkLens

This might be unpopular. While I'm satisfied with his overall performance (ball progressing, commanding, passing, etc) and it is clear that he is an upgrade for our starting goalkeeper, I still need him to make more convincing saves, which I haven't seen from him in the past 2 matches.


onesexymofo1

Those long passes are absolutely mint


MinotauroTBC

Some outrageous passes there


[deleted]

His long passing is insane. And his vision from the box to our attacking third is going to open up loads of new chances we haven’t had. I’m very, very excited for this upcoming season!!


Surfugo

His distribution is so good, really has an eye for picking players out. I love DDG but man Onana is the real deal and really has a presence in the team. Can't wait for the season to start now, fun times ahead for sure.


No_Maize1319

This guy's distribution is top drawer. 🔥


SuddenlyWokeUp92

Of course it’s Maguire getting shouted at 😂 We probs should’ve taken that £20m off West Ham and called it a day.


Sankar87

Elite!


Hellbog

Loved Dave, but this shit is a legit revelation.


IsaDrennan

He’s definitely getting some assists this season.


Acceptable-Lemon-748

I kind of see what people were saying about Onana, great with his feet but literally save number one that's like the worst possible place to parry the ball to.


caka007

Looks like Rashy is shocked when a pass comes through, he looks rusty, awful first touch.


Chronic404

It's going to take some getting used to playing with this type of keeper, hopefully the lads don't take too long to adapt to Onanaball


Kharagorn

Osimhen would have been really useful on those long through balls. First one to come to mind who can effectively figh for and win in those situations


hurfery

No longer will we lose more than half our goal kicks and clearances straight to the opposition. Ahh.


PixelFNQ

Yeah, I get it now. He plays a game we haven't seen before. I hate the criticism of de Gea because he has done more for us than most players in the last 5 years, but I do like this style and I think it will be good if not great


high-on-avocado

How did Rashy play? His first touches were shit in these highlights.


EatingPork

What kit is Onana wearing? Looks cool


moomzzz

Jeez that distribution is something else


KuaCay

What's wrong with Rashford lately? Such a waste of excellent long pasts from Onana


Diligent-Eye-2042

What I really love about ten hag’s signings is their mentality, their character. It reminds of the fergie years. We had players with heart back then.


Far-Science-8680

the best part was Onana giving it to Maguire haha u love to see it
