Conor Coady spent his entire international debut, literally from the first second, yelling at his teammates in a deserted stadium in Denmark. Jordan Pickford never stops with this stuff. He is also hardly alone in being showy with it. It is presumably part of the reason United signed him and thus something his manager explicitly wants him to do. He did it all the time at Internazionale. He likes to shout at and cajole his defenders. First, because this is just the way Onana plays.

Plus the bit about doing Rigobert Song in training was really good.Īndré Onana bellows at his defence – something he was brought in to do. But this is deep, self-referential moral satire. The word brilliant gets thrown around the place.
Just as Milton created a Satan in Paradise Lost so seductively human the reader is literally tempted into sympathy, so Carragher is “performatively” embodying the vice he seeks to expose.
This is all very knowing and super-smart, and not in any way contradictory. Very deliberately, and with an arch sense of dramatic irony, he is of course doing exactly the same thing Onana is accused of putting his hand on Maguire’s shoulder against the mob and with the other hand beckoning the mob in to have a pop at Manchester United’s goalkeeper.īe kind! Don’t blame individuals! To make this point even more powerfully I will now explicitly blame Onana, who seemed to be doing OK at his new club, but now stands accused of chronic unprofessionalism and sabotaging a senior teammate. It is bold satirical stuff from Carragher. Carragher seems convinced Onana was doing this to curry favour with United’s fans, playing to the gallery, showily distancing himself from the chief object of enmity. In the middle of which, as an example of hateful mob behaviour, he talked about Onana shouting at Maguire during a pre-season friendly.
