Ederson - 2018/2019 performances

[Barcon]

Anyone else remember when it was routine for keepers to dive full stretch and catch the ball

Yep, when the balls weighed a ton and came at you at 4mph.

That's right, the old leather ones with laces

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

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.

And the 10 each game from De Gea surely ?

 

[taleofbluehalves]

He is world class and the future of goalkeeping.

Re-defined goal keeping.

Re-defined goal keeping.

That’s what I was alluding to. ;-)

Anyone else remember when it was routine for keepers to dive full stretch and catch the ball

Yep, the balls were orange and I wore short trousers.

 

[RandomJ]

Thought he had another great game today. Passing perfect as always and making some important saves.

 

[Sergio<3]

Absolutely love this lad

Melchester United?

Melchester United?

What was the name of the goalie in Roys legendary team?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Don’t think he ever has a bad game. His passing isn’t normal for a keeper.

Tubby Morton in my day. Although Billy the fish at Fulchester gave him a run for his money.

Don’t think he ever has a bad game. His passing isn’t normal for a keeper.

He’s had a few poor performances (Liverpool away last season comes to mind) but they are all far in the past in my opinion, during his bedding in period. He has developed in to the next generation, world class keeper. He is revolutionising (along with Pep, of course) what people understand the keeping role to be (and/or what is possible).

Beyond that, though, I really do think he deserves heaps of praise for that early low, diving save yesterday. That is a save he could have easily not made and few would have faulted him, but he got there decisively.

It’s the sort of save that impacts the game, as it turns the chance in to a wake up call to his outfield teammates (“stop allowing these sorts of chances and finish ours at the other end”) and engages the crowd to get behind the team. That’s beyond just avoiding conceding, of course.

We’re extremely lucky to have him and we need to start paying the witch doctors a monthly retainer to ensure he stays fit all season, as I think the drop off from him to Muric, as talented as he is, would significantly impact our play if he was forced play for an extended amount of time.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He hit yet another pass yesterday, whch Bobby Charlton at his peak would have been proud of.

He actually prefers not to touch the ball with his hands, unless he has no better option.

Thats it Tubby!

I knew it was something fatist.

 

[Divino da Guia]

These passes in the middle through the lines all the time to start counters. Those tactics are brilliant when you have a keeper able to do that. Everybody should play that style. Its the best football to watch when even the goalkeeper is recicling possession.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Ederson looks the bargain of the century when you compare him to the clown the Dippers bought for £70m

 

[typicalcity...]

Can’t beleive I heard people moaning that he can’t save penalties yesterday. Believe an attacker has to score from a penalty it’s your best chance of a goal.

But that ping about 10 mins before end straight onto Mahrez’s foot was a thing of beauty

It was an amazing ball yeah.

By the way, only watched it live buy looked a stonewall penalty in injury time with his knee taking the strikers foot. Did anyone see a replay of it?

 

[cityzens]

I'm starting to doubt Ederson. He is great with his feet, sure, just like Bravo. Ederson has around 30 shots in total this season, with 13 of them conceded. Sure, three were penalties. But it's still not good enough. What kind of save percentage is that? I hope he doesn't turn into another Bravo, because he is letting in too many goals he SHOULD be able to save. That first goal from Crystal yesterday is a clear examples of lousy positioning. De Gea or Alisson could have caught that in their sleep.
