He is the " real modern" keeper.
Anyone as old as me can recall how the keeper rules have changed.
The days of a keeper being barged by a burly forward, being allowed to pick up a backpass and having to kick a ball outside their penalty area directly are all gone.
Edersons attributes are his ball skills and reading of a game, coming off his line, never seems to get " fussed" plus his ability to pass the ball as good as most outfield players.
His ability at crosses and shot stopping may not be as good as some of the very best keepers and his penalty saves are certainly not good enough but I doubt there is any keeper in the world that would fit in better to a " Pep" team.
It might be a different story if he were playing with Luton or Sheffield United where shots are raining down on him with little chance of him using his footballing skills.
Fortunately he is playing with us and we should appreciate the madness, entertainment and skill that he brings.
We've had the likes of Seaman, James, Schmeichel and Hart, all world class keepers and probably ranked higher as keepers but Pep wouldnt swap anyone of them for Ederson.
