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?

    I think we shouldn’t read too deeply into preseason games. Players are regaining fitness, getting their head back in the game, the stakes are different, etc.

    Regarding DDG… yeah It’s only natural that we’ll be drawing lots of positive and negative comparisons to him as he was our keeper for so long, but as long as it’s a net positive we’re good.

    Edit: a few typos

      I remember one pre season under Sir Alex. We lost every game. It didn’t look good. We proceeded to win the Premier League the same season. Never cared about results in pre season since.

      Last year defensive record is good. Goal scoring is the problem. If Onana distribution and Hojlund goal scoring can compensate for more goal conceded, the team should be okay.

      I hope we do not go back to pre Ten Hag defensive record.
