how would you feel if you were aaron ramsdale?

:picard:
Raya makes me feel calm because when Ramsdale is the keeper you get nervous about him messing up an easy save. I think Raya is also more vocal which is why there is less chaos. I know it's just been 2 games, but he seems to be much better at positioning and set pieces, so I feel Ramsdale days will be numbered soon. I would start Raya for NLD

Just saw the City highlights. Ederson gonna give Pep a heart attack one of these day. Pep's face when he rushed out of goal and did a Cruyff turn against the attacking player :laff:

onana needs to be more nimble.

he needs to be able to shuffle his feet and move around the goal / 6 yard box when crouching or in other uncentered positions.

the fact that it seems that he can't do this must lead to questions for ETH.

anyway early days. man needs to lose that weight. and he needs to grow them t-rex "pickford" arms.

These top reds need to keep the same smoke for Bruno that they had for Pogba. Straight up trash footballer. And he won't get dropped vs Burnley. So sick of this rodent faced fakkit :camby:

Musiala showed us what a real 10 does, breh got ridiculous close control :whew:
United will never play expensive football as long as Bruno is in the starting line up in any midfield role. it's too integral of a position

People forgetting DDG’s first season at United. Man could barely hit the ground quick enough. Put it on the floor and it was a problem.

What helped him was the acrobatic highlight reel saves.

But IMO, Onana wasn’t a necessary buy. His shot stopping isn’t that much better than Henderson’s. If we got him on a free, cool. But for £50M, I think that money is better spent on a proper midfielder that can control the ball and has LEGS to run. MacAllister would have been a great addition.

I think in reality we needed to change DDG this summer.. He needed a new contract, was the highest paid player at the club and was in decline. Whether Onana was the right option is a different conversation. We needed a steady keeper who was commanding and good with the ball at his feet. Spectacular saves would be a bonus. Just dont chuck that damn ball in your own net. :francis:
