18 | Stefan Ortega - 2023/24

Incredible tonight, top 6 goalkeeper EASILY !!!

The difference between our no 2 keeper and Luton no 2 keeper was critical in last night's match.
Ortega made some great saves whereas Krul looked like a rabbit in headlights when ever Haaland came within shooting distance

He is possibly the best number 2 I've ever seen. Surely he will want to be number one somewhere else in the summer.

If I was Pep I'd have him close out league games more often than not. And the same with Ederson in the cup. Truely make this a double team.

 

[SWPISHOME]

No surprise really.

He's far too good to be sitting on the bench. He would walk into most teams in Europe no problem.

 

[Kamaro011]

Hopefully he have sense of not going to the swamp.

Hopefully he have sense of not going to the swamp.

We could get DeGea in as his replacement.
I see he's stil looking for a team.
Jokes aside, Ortega is too good to be a sub keeper.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Best backup keeper in the league and arguably in the top five, full stop.

Would absolutely not blame him if he wanted to leave in the summer to be a number one elsewhere. If he does depart, he’ll go with my respect and best wishes.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Way to good for the bench

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Maybe he's played himself into the first team.

Yes he is not perfect but he's not stupid either! Never thought I'd be saying that's a benefit.. but there was no reason for Eddie to give up a pen!

It's the heat of the moment, but for me he should be starting after today. When he was in the pitch I felt at ease, and he's just quicker than Ederson and better mentally with his decision making.

 

[sh249]

Really is just about as good as it gets as a no. 2.

He's no worse at actual goalkeeping than Ederson. But it's Ederson's distribution that gets him into the team. He's crucial to the way Pep wants to play out and build up from the back. It's tough on Ortega. He deserves to be a number 1 keeper at a major club.

 

[WestGorton]

A very good goalkeeper. I sincerely hope he stays but would not blame him for seeking first team football.

 

[alexmcity]

Did brilliantly today. Having a quality 2nd choice keeper like Ortega was a big reason why we won the Treble.

 

[Paul1970]

As someone posted earlier when he came on he looked a lot calmer and better than ederson and who is a top keeper

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

A very capable stand-in and would have no qualms about him playing until the end of the season , he has never let us down , Ederson is first choice only because of his distibution apart from that there is nothing between them and both of them are better than the Dipper clown Allison.

Have you not heard that they’ve claimed Kelleher as the world‘s best ever number 2 goalie?

Best goalkeepers , full backs , centre backs and front three but only one league title during Clubshops decade long reign , he must be a shit manager to have all those world class players and only win five trophies.

If only he could get his players to play better because it meant more to them. He could win the lot then.

He's a far better pure goalkeeper than Ederson. Far better. Ederson doesn't have the basics.
