31 | Ederson - 2024/25

[Project]

His passing ability and confidence still blows my mind. Them low, drilled, flat balls he plays through the smallest of gaps to break lines when the recipient is out of shot and the margin for error low - my favourite thing about watching city.

 

[Gaz76]

He's been great since he came back into the team

 

[samuelyeboah]

excellent game

 

[Ric]

Really hope that we can convince him to stay this summer. Still an integral part of the team, and replacing him will be extremely difficult.

 

[Withnail]

By his high standards his level has dropped a bit this season. Last night he was very good, still our no 1 keeper.

Superb performance, for his haters, be careful what you wish, replacing this guy is the summer will be almost impossible and the likes of Costa a downgrade.

Replacing these kind of performances will be impossible, unfortunately they've been rare this season.

He was brilliant last night - if he could play this way every match everyone would be desperate to keep him im sure.

We need to be keeping him anyway, sadly I think he is off, going to be a huge task to replace him for sure.

 

[Goldust]

Had a top game to be fair.

Credit where it’s due, he was brilliant last night

 

[Mcfc_110]

I think he's referring to the dumb cunts on here that say he doesn't make saves and not the reasonable people that say he hasn't been at his usual level.

I get that and I'd like to think its in the moment hyperbolic takes that lead to the majority of comments like that but guess there's always extremes. Its more the point scoring nature of the posts where my issue is. It feels a little like he's had a good performance so I've been right all a long and he hasn't been below the required standard.

Definitely feels like better the devil you know of the back of that performance in particular. The goalkeeper market doesn't half feel a Russian roulette.

He’ll only be replaced if he wants to go.

Pep has always said if a player wants to go and the correct money is on the table they can.

I do think it explains some of his dip’s & absences this season.

A true City great and although I’d love to see him stay I hope it works out best for both parties.

If not confident on getting an established number 1 Ortega will get it with someone competing in my opinion.

I do think a lot of his issues this season are mental as opposed to being "past it" so I wouldn't be against a year or two more if his head and heart is in it. I think it would make even more sense if we get a younger no.2 with the plan for him to take over when Ederson does decide to leave.

I was going to pop on because I have been critical of him, to fairly praise him. He won't be impossible to replace though, a keeper who consistently saves shots at his goal will be a lovely sight.

I’m sure Ned Ludd said a similar thing after he’d smashed a stocking frame to pieces in the late 18th century.

 

[freshie]

Outstanding yesterday - his inconsistency this season is so frustrating

 

[Xhavenjoe]

That save from Son was superb.
The reaction from our defence was spot on too.
They are too often the type of goal we concede.
Ederson makes a save that is pushed back in around the penalty box and the opposition inverse the rebound.
First time in a while he looked confident.

 

[BlueMoonie]

Can't believe Plymouth had 1 shot on goal against Ortega and Ederson let is in yet again

Kasper gushing about Ederson. Somebody who can see the things many on here are seemingly blind to with his sweeping and then how his presence completely changes a teams entire approach to a game. Aside from Messi, Who else has such a big impact on how a team will play like Ederson? Our entire game would have to drastically change if Ederson leaves us. Pay the man whatever he wants.

What I'd counter that with is the way #ManCity have pressed has been because any ball over the top, he [Ederson] is out so he's stopped a one-vs-one before it's happened."And when you talk about adding something to the team, when they've been at their best in pressing - trust me I've been on the end of a few of these - you feel suffocated and with us [Leicester], our out-ball was [Jamie] Vardy a lot, [we] couldn't because Ederson would just chest it down and pass. So in the game, the one-vs-one wouldn't happen a lot."That's why for me, Ederson brought something slightly different in the sense he didn't even need to keep goals sometimes because he'd stop it at source and was so brave in his starting position, high; it meant he could press..."

"I remember playing against him for Leicester; #ManCity was the one team we didn't press because if you'd press Ederson, he'd just find David Silva or [Kevin] De Bruyne - he'd play these ridiculous passes..."

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Assume he’s moving on. Hope I’m wrong, but either way an amazing club servant. And we’ll definitely miss him.
