Today there were 2 shots that a top GK would easily catch, and he barely blocked them. Another shot to the body and it almost went under his arm, a top GK deflects it to the corner with no problem.What a load of nonsense.
"Rarely makes saves and chocolate wrists."
Ive read somethings on this forum in the years ive been here but that is right up there.
The 4 saves were really routine, and he made bad choices in 3 of them. They were not goals, but they were still mistakes that could costly. So yeah he had a bad game today. No big deal.Every single week this thread continues to weed out the fucking morons.
He fucked up for the penalty, criticise that, that's more than fair but don't start this bullshit about him not making saves when he made 4 in that game and don't come out with bullshit about other keepers being better when those keepers have had more high profile errors that have cost their side in the last year alone than Ederson has in his entire city career.
"barely blocked them" So did he save them or not?Today there were 2 shots that a top GK would easily catch, and he barely blocked them. Another shot to the body and it almost went under his arm, a top GK deflects it to the corner with no problem.
Ederson is a great sweeper, a great passer and great with high balls. He is an average shot-stopper and below average on 1v1. I don’t get why people fight about this, when it’s really clear. Luckily for us, Ederson is a top 3 GK even with his limitations. But for most teams, Ederson would not be a top 10 GK, and it’s okay, the only thing that matters is that he is important for us.

Hugely overrated? He’s without a doubt the best keeper in the world if you want to play the way we playNot particularly often. Hugely overrated due to his phenomenal left peg and nonchalance. Yes he suits our style but as a shot stopper he’s very average. The scouse keeper is miles better for a start.
He made two good saves. One was unauthodox but he saved it, it's a good save. Dropping a shot he should be catching before recovering it with zero consequence isn't a mistake, it's nothing. He made a solitary error that's not cost us anything other than his clean sheet, as you say, no big deal.The 4 saves were really routine, and he made bad choices in 3 of them.

He did, but in other matches the rebound could go to the opposition and score, in another match it could be an own goal, in another match it can create doubts in the defense…his reactions have been slow this season."barely blocked them" So did he save them or not?
What difference does it make if he pulled his shinpad out and batted it away for 4 runs if the ball didn't go in the net?
Bizarre standards people are holding him up against here.
You are right in a way but you are being hyperbolic.Today there were 2 shots that a top GK would easily catch, and he barely blocked them. Another shot to the body and it almost went under his arm, a top GK deflects it to the corner with no problem.

Different players have different technique shocker.Watch a video of Ederson and Neuer and their technique in 1v1, and you can see a big difference. Of course, sometimes Ederson will save a 1v1, but his technique is not the best.

Again for me he is a top 3 GK for us, so I rate him highly, but I am not gonna say he saves us, because as a shot-stopper, we could have better. He is an integral part of the way we play, but he doesn’t save us that much.
Most GK have gotten better with their passing(Ederson natural talent is much higher still) but Ederson has barely improved in his shot-stopping abilities. And that’s a valid critic.
If you’re classing the one that went through him as the good save then it’s like saying they were good finishes by Foden. That was truly awful keeping as a routine shot luckily bounced over the bar. Wasn’t unorthodox just poor.He made two good saves. One was unauthodox but he saved it, it's a good save.

I meant great saves not as in he’s never saved a few shots. I don’t really give a fuck I like watching him play, he suits our style and thankfully rarely gets exposed due to our great side and defence. He’s almost like a cult on here though to sum as people refuse to see he’s nothing special as an actual shot stopper and on one on ones he’s nowhere near the likes of Alisson, Kasper, prime Hart and even prime De Gea.What a load of nonsense.

on reflection it was a poor choice of words on my part, I agree it wasn't great goalkeeping but you have to liken it to a shit penalty that somehow went in, doesn't matter how poor the technique was because it ended up in the net, with ederson it doesn't matter how it happened, it didn't go in thanks to him so its a good save.If you’re classing the one that went through him as the good save then it’s like saying they were good finishes by Foden.

he rarely makes top saves
