Fair enough. Chances are he wasn’t going to instantly be starting for us anyway. He clearly does have the potential to our regular keeper thoughI’m judging the club more than him. He looks a decent shot-stopper and that will come in handy, because he will be facing a lot of shots in this current City side. However, he wouldn’t be number 1 at any other top side. He shouldn’t be number 1 here (yet). Again, not his fault but it does show the current state of the club.
I think most, me included, were on board with that scenario. Eddie number 1 this season, Trafford getting the cup games and see how it goes. Hes on a hiding to nothing trying to find his feet in this current City side.Fair enough. Chances are he wasn’t going to instantly be starting for us anyway.

If we show some patience and properly develop him, he could be our keeper for the next ten years.
I agree, especially with the midfield and defence falling apart with any sign of pressure.I think most, me included, were on board with that scenario.

I liked what I saw today though and thought he was excellent. This one was genuinely world class
It is was. Pity the shit for brains defence allowed us to concede less than a minute later!
maybe all those that said last week 'he's shit' could come on and say 'he's not shit. he's actually a very good shot stopper'. I wont hold my breath.
I thought he did fine playing out from the back today. Not as confident as Ederson is but then who else is? After last week he did really well and showed real character. To do that behind a back 4 who have never played together does him real credit. I think he is an excellent buy and will prove that over the next decade.Couple of smart saves but nowhere near the standard we need to play out from the back. We just can't consistently get up the pitch with him in net, if pep doesnt entirely rip up the plan we are fucked. And donnarumma makes us even worse in that regard.
Its clear as day he can't do it so now it is down to pep to stop asking him to do something he can't do and find a way of making it work with what we have.
I’m here!!
I don’t think he’s up to being a league winning keeper - but seen as though the rest of the team isn’t then we might as well run with him.
We have project midfielder players, project wingers and project defenders so why not a project keeper??
We ain’t going to win anything playing like we are so might as well blood them now and get games under their belt

It's not neccesarily him and his own performance, Its what we lose not having Ederson. The team was noticeably more reluctant to give him the ball and it often ends with a big boot up to an isolated Haaland if we are lucky but more often nobody, and then a turnover of possession.I thought he did fine playing out from the back today.

Not a single comment about his failure to save the well taken penalty? Stick ederson in net and there's 6 pages of comments on him not saving it.

If he'd dived the right way, he wasn't saving that.Not a single comment about his failure to save the well taken penalty? Stick ederson in net and there's 6 pages of comments on him not saving it.
