Does Ortega deserve a run in the PL?

No, Ortega does not - until Ederson is injured or makes a run of terrible, point-costing mistakes.

At the same time - I love Ortega - we're very, very lucky to have such a good keeper - who is also great on the ball - as backup.

Horribly unlucky today (both Stefan and us).

Hope he is ok.

Was it an impact injury?

Was it an impact injury?

From the replay, looks it (either from the charging player or from his own fall). Based on the physio work they were doing, looked like possible metacarpal or wrist (or both) injury.

Hopefully taking him off was just extreme caution.

i actually feel more confident at the moment with him in net. hes a good goalie and his passing is decent Enough.

A very good game for Ortega. Not only a clean sheet and a few stops, but his passing led to a couple of our goals. He chose his passes really nicely and succeeded with a lot of long balls. Looked really calm at the back as well, even in a few high pressure moments when Burnley were closing him down.

Really like this guy. Hope he sticks around cause he's the best back-up keeper we've had in a very long time and if ever Eddie got injured I'd have absolute confidence in him to step up.

Yes.

I loved that he didn’t panic under pressure. Similar to Ederson….

That’s not easy as a goalkeeper. But he’s obviously got a good talent with his feet
