31 | Ederson - 2022/23 Performances

[NQCitizen]

Think its worth remembering he's played in multiple formations since Christmas and he's lost the default out-ball to Cancelo, which was our go to. He distributes instantly to areas, but those areas are in flux at the moment.

It's pretty telling he's never once been on the chopping block for us and no one ever names a viable, definitely better, as capable in all areas, replacement.

I'm not sure there'd even be many better shot stoppers for the one man completely on his own, whole goal to aim at, no pressure chances we give up, everyone would concede most of those.

distribution was shockling but he seemed calm and in control of his backline. last two games were much improved in this regard.

Just a reminder for Ederson haters

He becomes the third-fastest goalkeeper to 100 Premier League clean sheets.

 

[WNRH]

i don't blame you with stats like this

Ederson - 90.4%

Manuel Neuer - 86%

Marc-Andre ter Stegen - 85.4%

last week it was his saving ability, this week because he didn't let a goal in its his kicking , people on this thread are starting to look a bit scapegoaty

Where am I scapegoating him or even mentioning his passing success rate?

I’ve said the calmness I had has turned into nerves recently. The same opinion applies whether he has a 40% passing success rate or a 100% success rate.

Having a fucking opinion that is not all roses doesn’t mean he’s being scapegoated ffs.

 

[its a Barm]

Can't really think of a better keeper than Eddie for this team, also didn't realise he was 29 thought he was in his early 20s

 

[supercity88]

He's allowed the odd poor game with the ball at feet. Ultimately he was excellent at the goalkeeping elements of his game on Saturday, working very hard to keep a clean sheet.

You can't move for the media coverage of Ederson's 100 cleans sheets. BBC with how he reached it, The Mail with a focus on his showstopper stopping, and the MUEN with a double page piece. Can't wait to see a history of Ederson's tattoos in Tattooist Weekly.

I think by his standards, he's had a below par season , but so have a few other players. However You look through all the other keepers in the Premier league and I wouldn't swap him for anyone, you could maybe put an argument in for Alison at Liverpool. I think that shows how good he's been for us over the past few seasons.

1st or 2nd in the league for clean sheets every year he's been here.

An arguement for allisson? Lol, he is terrible at distribution and has made many more mistakes than eddie and he is not capable of the pinpoint long balls/passes

I don't know if it's me expecting certain things from him but his kicking has been a bit shit all season. In my (humble, probably controversial) opinion anyway.

It's been nowhere near the standard it has been since he came here in 2017 and considering that's the main reason he starts in this team then questions are absolutely right to be asked of him. Again, IMO.

Whenever Ortega plays he seems quicker with his passing and seems to be braver with it too (the actual pass that is) in terms of finding the two 8s. His shot stopping is obviously better as well.

But for some reason I have some sort of blind alliance to Ederson in the sense I don't think he should be dropped yet. But I don't think should be as set in stone in the team as he seems to be.

It's not an argument from me I prefer Ederson, but Liverpool fans will tell you Alison has been excellent this season and they wouldn't swap him, alot of general football fans I've heard say they prefer Alison and the Brazilian team boss prefers Alison. I wouldn't swap Ederson myself!

Early 20’s having played the last 6 season? :)

His short distribution is far far worse than Ederson but I'd say his long distribution is pretty similar. It might be that he uses it far more in their system, though.

Alisson is a far superior shot stopper IMO but I reckon Pep still picks Ederson due to the short stuff and the risk reward that it gives us IF teams press high.

Little known fact... During his first season with us, Ederson used to run to training after he'd finished his paper round.

That is true but he earned enough from the paper round to buy a bike so could cycle to training in his second season.
A Raleigh Chopper, I believe.

Time to bin him off for good the blokes a complete liability. He’ll come flying out one game & it’ll cost us big time
