Errr....no it isn’t.

Ha. I agree with you mate, but some might not.

My effusiveness about the article is more to do with the historical and tactical context in which it is written, rather than the veracity of whether he agrees that Ederson is the best at both long and short passes.

"The huge advantage Ederson has is his long-range passing which, as Tottenham found at the Etihad last season, means an opponent cannot simply push men high on the full-backs and think that will thwart City, because they can then simply play accurately to players high up the pitch."

This is where he really is outstanding amongst the current crop of "sweeper-keepers".

But FTR I think he is the best all-round keeper, certainly in the PL and probably the world. I wouldn't want anyone else and I hope I'm still watching him in 2030.

He’s probably the best keeper in terms of passing in the history of the sport. Who’s better?

Ederson’s passing is better than most midfielders in the league.

Ederson with Pep revolutionialized the goal keeper position.

After Eddy’s success. Both Chelsea and Liverpool went out and brought two keepers good with their feet for DOUBLE the price of the previous world record. Says it all really and both Kepa and Alisson aren’t even close to Ederson in terms of ability on the ball, passing and calmness under pressure. Watched Alisson hoof it countless times against Burnley.

Good thing for us Eddy is only 25 years old and on a long contract. Scary to think about how good he will become.
 
I think he's great with the ball at his feet but as a shot stopper he's got some improving to do. Whether the ball took a deflection or not he shouldn't be letting it roll out. He should be picking it up and starting an attack.

A few errors have started to creep into his game since Bravo got injured. Signing this MLS goalkeeper might give him a kick up the arse.

He's fantastic. One of the few goalkeepers in the world you'd actually pay to watch. Just needs reminding that he's not invincible.

Spot on, keep it in play. Also the corner for the second goal he pushes Gundogan, leaving them both out of position, great with his feet but keeping needs attention.

It might, if Eddie needed one and the MLS goalkeeper could get a work permit.

He's not going to be worries about that one bit. But like I've said he does need to improve his shot stopping. I don't see him making crucial save in the way that Alisson has done for Liverpool this season.

He made a huge save at Watford. And whilst Allison is being made a hero he has been caught overplaying several times this season including when Leicester scored. Ederson meanwhile has set up many a goal and attack for us and is always good on the ball. It is his decision making this seaaon that has been an issue. Twice gifting penalties with poorly timed tackles. His shot stopping is generally excellent and he comes out and makes some crunching tackles putting his body on the line.
 
Yeah that save was world class. Doubt anyone will make a much better save all season, except for Allison that does saves like that every game.
