I didn't watch all the preseason matches.

But recent two lobbed goals in Real Madrid and Lens games make me anxious.

De Gea was defensive and rarely go out. I don't remember such kind of goals conceded.

I hope Onana is good enough and will learn from these kinds of goals. What is your opinion?

Preseason is the warm-up they'll get better

I'm not worried about the lobbed goals. Yesterday's was caused by a missed pass in the defense. To me he looks solid and he is so commanding in the box. Ddg was kind of bullied by attackers on corners and free kicks but Onana is a totally different story. And his distribution is leaps ahead of Ddg.

We will probably say "DDG would've saved that one!" for quite some time. Because he was insane on the line. Other than that he didn't contribute a lot though. Onana will concede a lot that DDG would've saved. But he will also put the team in so many good positions that DDG never would've.

They are so vastly different we shouldn't really compare them at all. But we will.

Was absolutely amazing in every game. The goals scored were not his fault, also they were friendlies and our competitive games should be different ..
