Injuries - 2023/24 | Ederson cleared to return to training (p 146)

[nellyonthewing]

It wasn't "vicious", it was a late and clearly poor challenge.

However, if one ours makes that tackle and gets a "red", the outrage on here would be off the scale.

I thought it was high and was a possible red

Thought it was odd De Bruyne didn't warm up at all last night.

Jack unlikely to be back until after the international break according to Pep.

Good, get him properly fit and keep him away from the waistcoat wanker.

Well we don't want him going on international duty if he's not fully right for us.

He could even use some of his rehabilitation time to nip over to New York for a bit of shopping. I'm certain Sir Mardarse Rashford will be available for a jaunt.... again

Needs Gomez to get a knock for GGG.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Ederson out up to four weeks.

I trust Ortega, he is a more than capable replacement.

 

[CityFan1970]

Yep, better shot stopper than Eddie and distribution nearly as good.

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s a blow that Eddie is out especially on build up and beating the press but Ortega is more than capable.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Not yesterday it wasn’t it was piss poor, maybe need to switch it up against high press and get it up too haaland quicker

 

[Withnail]

Certainly not ideal, Ederson's distribution is better, but Ortega won't let us down.

Don’t believe you. According to the media everyone has had injuries except us!

He’s a better shot stopper by far. Infact, Ortega gets into any PL club.

Not sure about far, Ederson was excellent in the latter part of last season

He sets the bar. Ortega gets into another first team, maybe bar Allison. When he plays for us I have to ask why Ederson gets the nod sometimes. They are both superb keepers.

I wouldn't say that Ortega is a far better shot-stopper than Ed, but he is significantly better. I agree on that. His distribution isn't bad, but Pep prefers a keeper who's distribution is basically that of a very good holding midfielder. It that sense, Ed's a freak. There's no other keeper close to him. All the keepers in the PL are now trying to do it — and often making a hash of it.
That's why Ed usually gets the nod. It's Pep's way of seeing the game, and the structure he wants to impose. Ed's got a bit of a nutcase side to him that's disturbing at times. Ortega seems calmer. Ortega would be in any other team. We are privileged to have both. I don't think we've ever had two keepers of this quality. Imagine Bravo or Pantilimon having to take this responsibility for this run-in.

 

[TinFoilHat]

No worries on the keeper score.

As long as Barcodes or Arsenal don't target him and we see out the season with Frank Carson winning the league.

Getting the ball up to Haaland. It’s like we are trying to stop that altogether.

Several times Kev tried to put one of those darting through balls along the ground to him. They were cut out. Liverpool's defence was better than I thought it would be, to be fair.
