31 | Ederson - 2021/22 Performances

[kismet]

Their keeper Olsen is claiming anything in the air within 12 yards of their box

Corrigan used to do that, but why not Ederson

 

[NQCitizen]

3 golden gloves in a row, how is anyone arguing he's bad? Probably the best keeper in history with his feet and he saves equal to the xg he faces. Integral to the greatest era the club has known, City legend.

 

[Revolver]

I think we have to accept that Edersons ability to pass the ball outweighs his ability to make world class saves. For a Pep team this is more important.

 

[Fatjohn]

Edison is the man

 

[Cityinmyheart]

Needs to improve on his shot stopping and one on one's for the next season. Penalties saving too

 

[Trojan1962]

Hopefully just a dip in form. He didn’t look happy during the celebrations.

Is today really the day for criticism?

 

[Shaffer92]

Really don't think any keeper is saving the first. It was point blank range.

I still back him all the way.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Probably in pain after the injury?

I’m guessing you didn’t see Pope in midweek, some of the saves he made he had no right to make.

But he can’t play out from the back so wouldn’t fit our team.

I just wish Ederson would improve his shot stopping to previous levels. He’s conceded 4 of the last 5 shots on target he’s faced.

I agree he's had a down year but I still personally trust him to make the necessary saves.

Let's hope he bounces back next season.

Villa 2 chances 2 goals . I don’t think having Laporte in front of him helps.

Whoever plays as goalkeeper in a Pep team is going to be left exposed and Ederson often is. I'm not sure a better spot-stopping goalkeeper could have saved either of todays goals. For the first one, he is covering the near post and a driven cross but the cross is a good one out of his reach and Cash gets a run on Cancelo, giving him a free header that he directed with power into the far post - Ederson had no chance of getting across. The second - Coutinho's first touch puts him in on goal, he can go either way and drills it with power and precision as a player of his ability should - a goalkeepers only chance there is a poor shot.

But what Ederson gives us is so many more attacking options - did you see Villa's attempts to play out from the back with a keeper who cant pass? Have you seen Allison play for Liverpool? he can be pressured into mistakes. We could not play the way we play without Ederson - and that means we need to accept that too often shots on target will result in goals against.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I don’t know what’s gone on but the last month or so his mind is somewhere else

 

[vmsuhail]

A great goalkeeper is worth 8-10 points a season. Ederson is not saving enough shots.

 

[Sir peace frog]

Fuck off with the player slagging, everyone of that squad is a fucking hero, give it a fucking rest, just for a day or two

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

A weird corner of our fanbase always need a player to relentlessly slag off for some bizarre reason.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t see the next one being Ederson coming.

There’s some strange people about.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Christ on a bike. We have just won the PL under the most amazing circumstances and some want to slag off Eddie.
He is a goalkeeper not a magician and had no chance with either villa goals.

don’t talk shite mate ,
He got a hand to the header and a not fingertips a full hand he should be saving that.

Whilst I agree about the way we play and the impact how can you say he had no chance of getting across for the first goal. He literally got a hand to it - the problem was it wasn't strong enough. And the second one he assumed Coutinho was putting it to his left so was flat footed. He fits our team perfectly with the way he plays but as a shot stopper he is in my opinion less than average. He commands his area well, and reads the through balls (usually) well, but he couldn't save if he was put in a bank
