That's the straightforward truth of it. Probably same goes for most of our squad.

Those debates were relevant at that time, they were mostly centred on the shape and balance of the team, at least the intelligent ones were. There will always be a few knee jerkers who claim he should be left out because he wasn't good enough, that had no place in the geniune debates. Yes he has...

Love hurts !!!

They need to replace the Carpenters.

No longer the plants they used to be.

Sergio left, Torres sold, Alvarez and Erland in, numbers back up to where they were, no need to sell him especially with possibility still of Raheem &/or Riyadh moving on. If he goes I hope it is his choice.

Yes the same "expert" referenced by Carragher and quoted in DM after Vinicius Jr. goal, though DM tried to make it another negative post the guy did actually say the 1v1 was 'uncharacteristically weak' for Eddie. The headline of course said Ederson was "badly at fault", needless to say they...

The PL is not the Bundesliga where the title is "ring fenced", this is the sort of thinking that has left the Red Failures desperately trying to squeeze into the EUFA Conference. Why bother being a fan of a club whose success is "ring fenced", City supporters want to challenge and compete for...

Wrong. Read what I said, Ederson is the topic, I believe our teamwork is why we conceded so few and Ederson's shot stopping was one of his many contributions to that, all the games can be rewatched, the proof is there.

You are indeed, but now you have accepted it things will be better.

The sum of his positive qualities is substantially greater than that of his weaknesses. I disagree about his shot stopping ability, it is well above PL average. Problem is humans forget the shots he stops and focus on the on the app. 25% he doesn't stop even though we have only conceded 21 this...

That would be great.

Yes an elite keeper with all of Ederson's qualities, who is an "actual shot stopper" (Pickford/Kasper ??) who won't mind staying awake for 90 minutes to miraculously save a shot/header from 5 yards out, who will cut off attacks before they develop, who will dive on every ball that is flashed...

It's entirely possible Burnley/Utd might not be "always under pressure" if he played for them. It's also entirely false to assume that, since his first appearance, there have not been periods in games where we have been under intense pressure, where his contribution to our defending has been...

You clearly have a lot of time on your hands, 58 posts since 27.4.2022. I have time to go back and read all your posts, 27.4.2022 a City positive post, every post/reply since then negative, many arrogant and rude. How many have you slagged off ?, a small sample, Zinchenko, Laporte, Dias...

How often is a game "clearly won", 89 minutes ?

Imagine Pogba, Rodri and Bernie in midfield, like Twin Peaks starring Mickey Mouse.

Yes if Pep believed he could make it work,why not, hopefully without the sideshow off field antics.

I agree if we played our normal possession game that is ideal, but we have played Liverpool and Real Madrid in 4 of those recent games and their playbook was to play long over the top of our high line. We also have to factor in that retaining possession against that calibre of opponent is...

Great post, you epitomise the true meaning of a "supporter", following the club through good bad and indifferent, hope you enjoy it when it comes, and every game in between.
