18 | Stefan Ortega - 2022/23 Performances

Probably something to do with making 5 appearances so he can get a pl medal.

Pretty sure you don't need appearances any more, so it won't be because of this.

He looks rock solid and assured and I have 100% confidence in him.

Anyone know why Ederson didn’t play , dropped , rested etc ?

I wondered whether Pep is thinking of playing him in CL against RM? They will cause more goal threat than any other team we have played this season. I would say Ortega is a better shot stopper than Ederson, traditionally Ederson has been the best the best gk with his feet. In the CL semi finals last year, I reckon we would have gone through if Ederson had saved as well as Courtois?

We’d have gone through if Mahrez shot as well as Rodygo

Pep highlighted recently in a press conference, we have scored plenty of goals in our CL eliminations, however we should be keeping more out!
In that game we had 10 shots on target against RM, Mahrez's thunderbolt was the only one that scored. They only had 5 shots on target but scored 3 goals!

Think pep thought at Fulham he was a bit more hot headed than normal so resting him last night for him to get his head calmed down a bit before the bigger games

I think he will almost certainly play in the cup final too so needs games before then.

That would be a big call - I wonder if it's more to put a rocket up Ederson, while also keeping Ortega sharp. He's good enough to play in the FA Cup final, but there's 6 weeks between the semi and final, so kills two birds with one stone.

As for the shot stopping, Ortega is probably better, but there was quite a long analysis of both players near the start of the season, which suggested that Ederson did just as much to prevent goals as Ortega.

Wed be facing more shots just by not having ederson in net when we've got the ball. What he gives us with his feet is worth 100 shot stopping keepers
