31 | Ederson - 2022/23 Performances

[Lavinda Past]

Of course you do. Don't like it when your ridiculous posts are shown up I guess. You seem incapable of actually having a conversation with anyone, just keep throwing out insults about Ederson.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy camping out in this thread and telling everyone every day how brilliant of a football mind you are and how everyone else is wrong about Ederson.

Maybe one day you will get your wish and Ederson will leave and then we can close down this thread and you can move onto the next City player who isn't as perfect as you must be.

If you actually read some of my comments in relation to Ederson, I don't think I've ever actually said that we should get rid of him.

My concern around Ederson is that he seems to have weaknesses in very basic areas of goalkeeping. He has his strengths but he needs to work on the basics.

Take some time to read some of my earlier comments where I refer to specific areas of his game, and you'll see that I simply want him to improve as a goalkeeper.

If you and others keep making these knee jerk reactions to perceived criticism, you'll overlook the fact that rather than wanting to 'get rid', most of the 'critical posters' actually want Ederson to improve and stay at City.

BM isn't just made up of happy clappers and moaners... Try to accept other opinions rather than argue for the sake of it.

Errrrr………. No

Good argument. If you think the defensive unit isn't responsible for clean sheets, you know nothing about football.

Lol calm down petal. When did I say that? It’s the ederson thread and I just think he’s perfect for us. But you crack on and hate him - it’s all about opinions. And yours is shit obviously ;)))

 

[p.taker]

And those that need to insult people for no other reason than daring to bring up weaknesses in our team and not subscribing to the happy clapper club,need to have much longer than a day off.

Ironic coming from the guy that has called Eddie a fucking clown, a joker, and a plank in this thread alone.

He's not wrong though. I've heard plenty of people in CB3 saying pretty much the same about Ederson during quite a few matches.

He certainly doesn't inspire confidence as a goalkeeper, and sometimes gives the impression that he doesn't actually give a shit.

Fuxk all to do with irony...I'm not insulting other forum users because I'm not seeing what they do.

I'm not wrong,and,like yourself,despite the attempts to shut us down with abuse,i'll speak my mind :-]

I read through a few of your last posts. Gems like these pop up "fucking hopeless at the very basics of goalkeeping."

I guess you have some sort of background in coaching professional goalkeepers which is why you can write such informative posts like that. They really do help teach us all.

 

[ninjamonkey]

So if his moment of madness resulted in a red card and we'd lost he'd still be a great keeper ?? Asking for a friend

If Ruben Dias had just straight up decked timo werner within the first minute, got himself sent off and we'd lost, he'd still be a great defender?? Asking for a hypothetical friend.

If it resulted in a red card it would indicate that the ref knew nothing about football.

So am I wrong?

His basics are hysterically poor. If he played for the rags we'd be taking the piss out of him every week.

The standard of goalkeeping coaching at City has always been high. We've had good back-up keepers and good lads through the academy.

Why Ederson is so poor at the simple things, I just can't understand. Pep trusting him doesn't make him a great, or even very good keeper.

Yes you are wrong.

Ederson has continued that standard, as all his personal and team accolades will show you.

So what does Peps trust tell you if it's not that he has confidence in Edersons ability as a footballer and as a person to deliver for his team.

He has never had a problem binning off players. So why hasn't he got rid of Ederson?

Because his view of goalkeeping is that his goalkeeper is a sweeper/playmaker, and he puts a greater value on that than actually having a decent goalkeeper who commands his area and the defence.

Just because Pep breaks with convention doesn't mean he's right. A good goalkeeper makes a world of difference. If Ederson actually works on the basics, he could be one of the best ever. As it stands, he's nowhere near it.

Is he wrong then, I’d suggest his record tells us he isn’t wrong, you are just missing the point.

Indeed - Valdes was garbage outside of Barcelona keep-ball too.

Ter Stegen might be available given Barca’s financial issues and would be an upgrade.

We don't need to sign another keeper.
IMO, Ederson just needs more work on the basics and,  if considered necessary by Pep, Ortega is more than capable of taking his place for a spell.

 

[Tevez City]

He better be careful next time

 

[Tugay One Cup]

He better be careful next time

Perfect tackle, that.

No it's you who is missing the point. Ederson could become a better goalkeeper. You seem to think that because the team is successful, there's no need in your mind for him (or presumably any other players) to improve.
That's not the case. There's huge scope for Ederson to improve his game. He has significant gaps in his basic skills.
As a professional sportsperson, he should be working on them. If he has been, we should see an improvement on his all-round game. But we haven't. He's still cautious in his six-yard box and reckless outside the penalty area. That leads me to think that he doesn't see any need to Improve his own game.
That's arrogance in a nutshell, and if Pep is prepared to accept it, Ederson will never be a truly great goalkeeper. If you and other fans are happy to accept it, that's your perogative. I just believe that Ederson should and could be a better keeper if he works on the basics.

It's the simple things that make a big difference.

He better be careful next time

Correct decision would have been a foul against him as he didn't touch the ball. If Werner had not backed out of the challenge it could have easily been a red. Just piss poor judgement from him and not for the first time. Anyway we got away with that and hopefully he will be made to watch it 100 times as punishment.
