[Kamaro011]

Ortega is great last night, but never forget he just as capable making a great mistake as seen with Southampton games.

 

[the old abbey]

He was brilliant last night, kept us in the game. Fact. Well done stefan.

Excellent shot stopper but every long kick out was to arses player , just needs to get better at that if we are not going to give up possession , i like him a lot

Fine back-up keeper. Much better than Bravo and Steffen.

He did make some decent passes through their offensive line when he kept it low. I thought some of his kicking was quite good but we are like watching 11 tortoises at times and just not quick enough to exploit this. He did do some poor ones too though.

Started finding walker up by the halfway a lot too in the last 10. Took a lot of pressure off.

thought he was excellent in every facet of his game last night.

Utterly untrue that his long balls were all aimless or straight to Arse players. Stats show he succeeded in over half of his attempts and we were obviously trying a different tactic last night that the team wouldn't have been used to, so it's perfectly normal that he wouldn't hit the target with every pass.

For the sake of comparison, Eddie has a 52% success rate in long balls this season. There isn't a keeper in the world who succeeds with every long ball or even every 3 in 4. Anything over 50% is decent, frankly. (De Gea is around 35% lol).

For a backup keeper to come in against England's most in-form team and succeed with a decent amount of long balls, while also making a couple of solid stops and looking pretty cool under pressure, is impressive.

Southampton was a blip. He's the best backup we've had in quite a while. Not saying he should become first choice but, for me, his shot stopping is solid, his passing range is definitely there and can be improved, and I feel comfortable watching the team with him in net.

That's not an attack on Ederson, I love the guy and feel fine with him in goal too, just happy to have two great keepers for a change.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Who was?

He is definitely a better all round keeper than the clown.

Who is the clown ?

Other than the Southampton game, there has been nothing between them really. I don’t think there is a perfect keeper.
