The reason he doesn't make wondersave after wondersave is twofold, one we dominate the ball and opponents don't have that many shots against us, and 2 he is ALWAYS in the absolute perfect position. Best keeper we have ever had in modern times. The amount of crosses he comes and claims easily is overlooked aswell. Then of course he is peerless with the ball at his feet.

People who wank off Joe Hart who was absolutely bang average and slag Eddy don't have a clue.

No need to slag off Joe mate. He was a great keeper for us. Eddie has let in some soft goals but when it mattered he came good and overall he’s been great, has there been a better catch of a long ball than the one at the end?
 
Never understood the criticism he often got on here. EVERY keeper lets in a few soft goals throughout the season, it comes with the job. But when you look at his overall game, considering the fact that he spends long periods with little to do which means it's more difficult to maintain concentration, I find it difficult to fault him and I don't think he gets the respect he deserves. I don't know if that save in the very last second was going in, but it said everything about him for me. Fantastic keeper and hugely underrated IMO.

I watched the game with a varied group of fans, one is a liverpool fan, but also CEO at County, he couldn’t believe it when I said there’s City fans that don’t rate him. Then right on cue one of the City fans said ‘my brother says if you watch Ederson, he doesn’t ever make a save and when you think about it, he doesn’t’. Then we had a 30 minute demonstration of why he’s the best in the world. Really smart saves, great distribution, calmness personified and charging out for crosses.

We have some odd fans..

You could change the word odd to idiot, and it wouldn't be unfair.

The ball he claimed right at the death was magnificent. A packed box and he comes and catches it clean as fuck about 15 yards from the goal.

I know its unpopular but I always thought barring a few games he was brilliant (Spurs away, Dortmund at home) he was ridiculously overrated. Was forever punching crosses he could have easily caught, let in loads of goals on his left hand side and he used to infuriate me aimlessly booting it up the pitch to nobody. Thought I was going mad when we used to sing that joey joey hart song. Felt so vindicated when it took Pep about 2 weeks to fuck him off. (We'll ignore that Bravo season)

I got a lot of stick at the time for my opinions and used to see the same people who defended him to the hilt throwing shit at Ederson for not saving 0.9 xG chances.

But yeah I get you we've just won the treble and I was being a bit weird bringing up my old bitterness about Joe Hart lol. I'll try not go to the Jack thread and ask if anyone still misses Raheem anymore aswell
 
One thing that I've always felt Ederson has been excellent at is his angles. So many times at full stretch he covers the goal to the inside of the post. Last night the one that came off the crossbar would have been kept out by his hand if it had actually been going in.

That was perhaps his finest performance for us, and to do it when it really matters shows his quality once and for all.
 
Never seen him show much emotion but after that save and the whistle he just lost it, bloody saved us a few times including the pass back chaos

You’re absolutely right about this. It’s almost an invisible skill because it’s really hard to notice but he is one of the best keepers I’ve ever seen for knowing exactly where his goal is at all times. As you say when he dives for a save his hand is often flush against the post, you saw that for the crossbar v Inter and he did the same thing to touch Kroos shot onto the bar v Real.

He also makes a lot of saves where it “just hits him” and doesn’t get credit for it. But that comes from consistently being in the perfect place. In 6 years I can’t really remember him being stood too far left or right once but I see other keepers do it all the time (De Gea was too square on for both of Gundogans goals which is why the second one went in). When do you ever see Eddie beaten at his near post? Again happens all the time to other keepers.

I hate to bring his name into it but it was something Schmeichel was also very good at. Maybe the best ever, he didn’t have to be quick because his size and positioning did all the work.

It was definitely going in !!
 
I thought he was dodgy first half. Actually looked nervous for the first time I have ever seen. Second half was immense, although the great save he made was straight at him. I was more impressed when he came out and caught it well of his box. He has been our number 1 through our everything good we have gone. Put some respect on his name
