All across the country from grass roots upwards, every weekend, in almost every game, when the play is built from the back by the keeper …....it’s because of what Alison brought to the PL……..We’ve won four titles in five seasons and he’s probably the most irreplaceable to the team, yet we have wankers that are asking for a new keeper.
Think that George Wood playing for East Stirling against Queen of the South in 1971 was the man who ’turned the role of goalkeeper on its head”….As Top Cat would say……” Just ask Benny boy”.All across the country from grass roots upwards, every weekend, in almost every game, when the play is built from the back by the keeper …....it’s because of what Alison brought to the PL……..
Said no one ever !!
Ederson has changed the way teams play in the PL and across Europe. I take great pride in the fact that he plays for us, and he’s completely turned the role of goalkeeper on its head.
Not to mention Kayky and a few other Brazilians we seem interested in, he has an important role behind the scenes for our South American contingent now Ferna has left, would like to see him or Zabba brought in to possibly work with these lads on & off the pitch, certainly puts another slant on Gabby potentially leavingHe got injured at the end of the Villa game
He was same as the rest of the players at the parade
He signed a big contract he’s going nowhere
Even if Jesus leaves there are still the Portuguese speakers
True Roy. We’ve always had a minority who you’d think were supporting the opposition,We've always had a few abusive fuck knuckles following us. If social media was prevalent when Richard Edghill was playing, the poor lad would have been absolutely destroyed.
Ederson hardly ever concedes errors leading to a goal, he drops a couple of clangers every season but that is normal as he’s in a high risk position. He lets in goals that he could have done better, but that isn’t an error. Take Watford a few weeks ago, their goal was a decent strike, hard and low and people expected Ederson to save it.Videos being made of every Ederson mistake calling him overrated and shit
being compared to Joe Hart
being called a shit shot stopper
Ederson is not good enough etc
it’s disgusting, he is a vital piece to how we play
It’s just disappointing how short term people’s memories can be. The guy is pivotal to the way we play and he definitely makes up for what he has apparently cost us. There’s no one more suited to us than ederson imo. There are times when some goals let in are questionable but you’ll find in those games our attackers don’t seem to be much better anyway.
We’ve always had that element. It’s just more noticeable online.One of the downsides of being a successful club is that we attract these nobheads to support us online.
Might even get worse if Haaland fanboys grow in numbers.
The abuse Claudio Bravo received after replacing Joe Hart was an utter disgrace, and shameful from the fans, if they had issues, give the sh1t to Pep for replacing Hart.Nothing is going to change. It was the same with Willy Caballero and to some extent Claudio Bravo.
I agree with your words, Ederson was not himself at the end of the Villa game, hopefully due to the guy having almost 2 seasons of constant football and little time to relax and get back to his homeland.Like I said in a different thread, I am a little concerned about him ever since I noticed the way he reacted after the whistle was blown at the end of the Villa game. He did not seem happy, and then I noticed the same odd mood during the celebrations and in the dressing room videos. Due to past misunderstandings, I will refrain from using certain words. I also find it very strange that he had a convenient “injury” with the national team when was certain to play the next day as Allison would be given a break. Is he okay? All that and now this social media incident are concerning to me
Some of you need to stop burying your heads in the sand.
It's not just Twitter. It's not just new fans. It's not just fans who don't go to games. It's not just foreigners or non-Mancunians.
We have plenty of match-going long-term local fans on these forums that contribute to the problem just as much in many different player threads.
Yep. Look at the match threads on here. It's ludicrous, the overreaction to a "bad" result/performance. I remember the game at Palace, in particular, being a low point. I swear to God, some of these people have no idea about football, and that even the most talented of squads (which we're very fortunate to have) can have an off day, without their own fans screaming for them to be banished to the wilderness. And it's very odd that a lot of these "fans" have been seldom seen in this past amazing 6 years. It seems that they live to criticise City. Yes, freedom of speech. But does that give you the right to needlessly abuse players? The same applies to the players' social media accounts. I'm amazed that they bother with these accounts, given the idiots they attract. Look at the countless examples of racist abuse posted on these accounts. Why would you subject yourself to that?We’ve always had that element. It’s just more noticeable online.
