Imo looks very promising, some neat skills needs to avoid stupid yellow cards for kicking the ball away after the ref 's whistle. Physically has a way to go.

He needs to watch the video of the last 35 minutes of that game, with Pep, and discuss the chances of playing for the first team if he does pirouettes on the edge of his own penalty at 3 - 1 up.

It's a stat. that proves nothing. The nature of the goals are the only things that are relevant in judging the keeper. A tap in, a 35yard screamer, a deflection, in off a post, through a crowded area, one on one etc can all be shots on target, whether the shots on target are saveable is unique...

Maroon is brownish crimson, nothing like that. That's more like Burgundy or a Koppites post drenching pyjamas.

I don't think any heads went down until their second goal at which stage our energy levels had dropped. Absolutely arrogant to think we can roll over "a team like" Palace even with 11 players. If Pep or our players ever adopt that entitled attitude we will end mid table or worse, because that's...

Good players playing well together bring out the best in each other. Their combination is greater than their individual impact, imo so yes and yes.

A DM with "fitness issues, "his age" and with "his injury record" imo is about the last thing we need, the positives you refer to would be far better utilised elsewhere.

A £100m investment is intended to provide long term returns, not instant gratification, a gamble is what you are talking about, City don't usually do that.

Not true, Pep stated last week Phil could play in 4/5 different positions, that usually means he will play him in 4/5 different positions, though not necessarily in a single game.

A sharp lesson for these lads, 20+ passes in/near the opponents area without a goal attempt and the ball ending back on the edge of our own box is not the way to retain a 1-0 lead at this level. Trying to play exhibition football in the second half as if they were 3/4 goals up, a major...

Thank you very much for this link, very interesting.

Tim Krul made a string of saves v. Chelsea yet conceded 7, most scored when his defence left him exposed, save percentages don't show the full picture. Ederson's concessions mainly come when he is exposed not because of shot stopping errors.

Maybe if you are bored then it is an angle you should consider. Ederson conceded a penalty and miskicked twice today, on the other hand he saved more shots on goal today than we have conceded in the previous 8 games, not his best day, not his worst. Imo there is no other keeper I would prefer to...

Imo you are totally incorrect apart from "he suits our style". You must think goalkeeping is easy or missed a lot of games he's played. I have no wish to see Alisson start for City, he makes more mistakes than Ederson over a season, as for being "miles better", that's OTT rhetoric like the stuff...

More involved in the second half than most games so more opportunities to make a mistake, one of which he took. Still 4 goals conceded in 9 PL games, not really time for the glass half empty brigade to reach for the panic button.

I tend to agree, obviously he has gained experience and the other players have adapted to his presence as he has to them. I'm a little meaner and tend to wait to close to a player's career end before using the "great" word but he was a very good player before he arrived (probably why we bought...

He always gave decent fans a sense of pride in our club. Yet so many show such scant appreciation for so much. 3 trophies in 3 years taken for granted like we were winning 1/2 trophies every season since 1894. Also worked wonders at Villarreal, thanks Manuel, more than just "an average manager"...

"in the old days we were too poor to have filling" !!!!

It is a thing of beauty when it is working.

The top slice of a sandwich might be twice the bottom slice, but it's only the combination that makes it a sandwich and comparisons are only really valuable when you compare identical items.
