Hope his save makes it to MOTD.

The only thing stopping him being rated as one of the best in the world is lack of exposure.
 
Does anyone else reckon him coming to us after bravo rather than after hart has really benefitted him. Bravo had a lot more pressure on his shoulders and we, as fans, weren't used to the playing out from the back brand of football and it was considered rash and stupid, especially by older fans.
Replacing one of the worst keepers in premier league history rather than a city legend really lowers expectations and takes a lot of pressure away from him.Added to this he has had a settled back four in front of him all season rather than the stupid rotations we saw last season which also helps.
As lucky as I think he has been, the man is the coolest and calmest keeper I've ever seen and think he would have done just fine last season, although he couldn't have picked a better season to join the mighty blues.

I think this can be true.
Another thing is, Bravo was not in his best moment of form. He commited some mistakes in the last rounds of South American qualifies too.
Now the EPL fans will probably alway see Bravo as a flop but in fact, when in form, hes a high level keeper.

You've taken it the wrong way. I'm not upset with Ederson at all, just the fact that we conceded.

Same - the lack of clean sheets does a disservice to our defence, and stops them getting the credit they deserve.

This is the best defence (including Ederson) in the league by some distance, and yet we have a habit of conceding silly goals while Stones has been out.

Also gives teams a glimmer of hope with the sound bites from the pundits "You can score against them". Having said that is teams having no hope a good thing or would they then just go full park the bus mode instead of trying to come at us at all?
 
Low down to his left.......mmmmmmmmm........
