His positioning is questionable at times, which as a goalkeeper makes your job heck of a lot easier.

I don’t know if it’s from his nature of effectively playing as an outfielder at times, and he is here and there so loses that extra moment or sense of where the posts are.

HIs positioning is generally good - but when he comes out for the ball - and subsequently this looks like the wrong thing to do and he then retreats back into goal - then at these times, I agree, his positioning can be off.

Yet, charging aggressively out-of-goal is Ederson's style. Often it works out - sometimes it results in a penalty; sometimes Ederson is out-of-position when he subsequently retreats.

I am in the small and ridiculed minority that are not convinced that Ederson is the best goalkeeper bestowed on the beautiful game in its long history.

However I cannot see any reason to blame him for the last two defeats. The second today was unsavable as was Townsends on Saturday, just good finishes. The others were down to defensive fuck ups leaving him right in the shit.
 
He is a great footballer not sure he is a great goalkeeper. (Yet)
 
Thought Ederson was one of our few decent displays today. Kept out what he could (we'd have gone in at HT 3-1 down were it not for him), good on the ball as always. Just badly exposed for their 1st goal and the 2nd was unstoppable.
 
I thought he could have maybe come out for the first one as the Cross was obviously going to their man once Delph went awol in the box. It was virtually 6 yard box so he had the time. Keepers don’t seem to like doing that though.

That goal was so easy it was almost unbelievable.
 
Everyone seems to have forgotten the series of great saves he made at the end of the first half just to keep us in the match with 45 minutes to play.

Very odd to come away from the Leicester league match thinking it was an example of him being a “poor shotstopper”; he was beaten by another worldy and could not have done much to stop the header (he could have been more aggressive and come out to hurry Albrighton but, then, people would say he should have stayed on his line to make the save and it was another instance of him being “overly zealous”).

Only the outfield players (more specifically, Stones, Sane and Delph, unfortunately) could be considered at fault for either of Leicester’s goals.
 
I love how calm he is with the ball at his feet, but is no one else bothered that he could easily have given them a crucial goal at 1-1 when he dribbled past their striker within a yard of the goal line? That was pretty reckless if you ask me, and I hope Pep has a word. If we'd gone 2-1 down again after taking the lead, that could have ended very differently.
 
Pep has always said he wants us to play that way, if he makes a mistake it happens. Best keeper in the Prem
