I agree, that performance v PSG by him was on par with Joey Hart in the Nou Camp.to watch Allison do what he did vs PSG, single-handedly saved the whole tie for dippers and then this goal from Ederson...
I do think we will replace him this summer but not with Ortega.
The brilliant save counts for precisely nothing. It earned us nothing.Will always support him for what he brings but Christ that was a shit goal to let in. One brilliant save undone by one abysmal bit of keeping
Maybe we should’ve kept Hart, not played Pep’s philosophy and not won everything there is to win then?As a keeper of the goal, he will never get in the bracket of Trautmann, Corrigan and Hart for me.
Time for a change next season.
Do you honestly think he’s a better keeper then, I mean at saving efforts on goal? Hart v Dortmund & Barca was incredible and prevented thrashings … we’ve been spanked so many times already this season as it is?Maybe we should’ve kept Hart, not played Pep’s philosophy and not won everything there is to win then?
And in the time he’s been here won everything, some things multiple times and we wouldn’t have if he wasn’t part of the team. That’s a fact, not an opinion.Do you honestly think he’s a better keeper then, I mean at saving efforts on goal?

He also made a mistake when havertz scored in 2021, and a few errors in other games vs Madrid. So saying we would not have a UCL if Ederson wasn’t our goalkeeper is stupid. If Ederson wasn’t at Man City, we’d probably have Courtois or Alison, I guarantee you we’d have at least one CL if they were our goalkeeper over the last 8 years.Them’s the deals.
Everyone can and will make mistakes.
No Ederson = no CL - fact.
Ederson today made a gaff and we go home empty handed.
And he’s gone down hill from being a decent shot stopper to a poor one. Same as lots of players have gone down hill this season and in past seasons.And in the time he’s been here won everything, some things multiple times and we wouldn’t have if he wasn’t part of the team. That’s a fact, not an opinion.
Also the mythic save in the CL final hit him. Now was that fortunate, was it great positioning or was a terrible finish? The answer is immaterial but to think that no other keeper could have done it is beyond stupid.He also made a mistake when havertz scored in 2021, and a few errors in other games vs Madrid.

So; are you saying we should hold onto him because of what he's done in the past, not for what he might do for us in the future (which is certainly up for debate right now)?And in the time he’s been here won everything, some things multiple times and we wouldn’t have if he wasn’t part of the team.

This “never dare to criticize a player” style of posting is so tedious. It’s plain to see that Eddie was an integral part of an incredible winning side. Nobody in their right mind denies that. But there’s equally plenty of evidence over his career that his shot stopping is a weakness & is below the bar set by our previous greats, and plenty of arguments to be made that this season is revealing the weakness more than before. Is that because he is on the wane, because his head was turned by Saudi money, because the overall team is struggling, because the tactics have been sussed out … I don’t know, but that’s fertile ground for conversation.Maybe we should’ve kept Hart, not played Pep’s philosophy and not won everything there is to win then?
Not at all. When the club believe, or Ederson himself for that matter, that it’s time to move on then that’s what is best for the team. But the fact is Ederson has contributed to our success playing Pep’s game.So; are you saying we should hold onto him because of what he's done in the past, not for what he might do for us in the future (which is certainly up for debate right now)?
We'd have won multiple CLs if we had a keeper the quality of Alisson, Neuer or Courtois.Them’s the deals.

And he's making too many of them.Not at all. When the club believe, or Ederson himself for that matter, that it’s time to move on then that’s what is best for the team. But the fact is Ederson has contributed to our success playing Pep’s game.
Also, there is only one position on the pitch where mistakes can and are highlighted, and that’s the keeper.
