That's unfair. Ederson last season against Brighton had just as bad of a match distribution wise. Brighton are tough for any GK, including Ederson. If Ederson is 10 with his feet, Ortega is a 9 easily.Worst we've seen from him in terms of distribution today. Was all over the shop and just highlights how much ederson gives us. We are comparing him to the best though. He is still a very capable stand in.
His long balls were shite….That's unfair. Ederson last season against Brighton had just as bad of a match distribution wise. Brighton are tough for any GK, including Ederson. If Ederson is 10 with his feet, Ortega is a 9 easily.
If Ederson gets injured, I would be conpletely relaxed.
Majority of his errors weren't anything to do with Brighton, they were just poor execution and decision making. His kicking of anything over 30 yards today was awful.That's unfair.

I agree with Mitoma's save. I still think that his level has been so incredible, that a not so good match is not reason to be worried at all.Majority of his errors weren't anything to do with Brighton, they were just poor execution and decision making.

I'm very happy with him as our backup, the best we've had and I don't see anybody better out there as a no.2 but that doesn't mean we can't say he was poor today.
He also got very lucky with that save from mitoma, he was completely out in no man's land. He shouldn't have come out, It was a very simple dink and an easy goal for Brighton, he was very fortunate Brighton messed that up.
Ortega had better stats in literally everything last season. Better passing %, better save %(by a very significant margin), much better xG, better defensive actions outside the box and interceptions...Definitely will never be first choice for us , his kicking was poor today and put us under pressure several times , Ederson was apparently rested because he didnt get back to Manchester until late in the week , Ortega is a good back-up keeper and that is all.
Brighton are one of the hardest teams to beat their press and Ortega did it far more times than his few clipped longer balls that didn’t reach their target.Ortega had better stats in literally everything last season.

Literally, staff has said Ortega would be starter this season if it was not for Ederson form improving at the latest stages of last season.
I am not criticizing Ederson, just showing you how wrong the statement of he will never be first choice or he is just a good back-up keeper is. I can link you to all those stats if you want.
