He'll leave if he wants to leave. Forcing him to stay would be pointless a less motivated Ortega wouldn't be as good.I was pleased when Ortega came on, I said to my family we have more chance of winning now, so it proved.
Nothing against Ederson but I think if he's in net it would have been a Son goal, 1-1, advantage Arsenal and the league likely gone? I suppose we'll never know?
Please don't let Ortega leave, we will not find as good a keeper to replace him.
I agree with the sentiment behind your post, what I would like to see from the club is to reconsider what we are offering him, so it makes it more attractive to stay at the number one club in the world.He'll leave if he wants to leave.

Personally I would be happy with that, as I think he's a better overall keeper. I like Ederson but he's just not as good as Ortega imo.What if the offer has to be that he's our number one keeper moving forward? (that's a genuine question btw)

As far as I can tell Pep has always tried to have a meritocracy, where the players are picked and rewarded for their outstanding performances, as long as they produce them. Selecting Ortega and allowing him to be genuinely considered as our number one is just an extension of that.
I agree I think there would have been a chance Eddy would hove come out to Akanji's moment and kicked Son over the stand.Personally I would be happy with that, as I think he's a better overall keeper. I like Ederson but he's just not as good as Ortega imo.

I agree with your post. I wonder if there's a case like Brazil do with Ederson and Alison of rotating the main keeper and selecting depending on the opposition and who's in the best form?Yeah, like i've always been staunchly behind Ederson and I see his distribution as such an integral part to how we play. He's transformed how i watch football tbh. But the more i see of Ortega, the more i think his shot stopping can't be ignored and his footwork isn't half bad either. When Ortega came on last night, I kind of felt like our chances of winning the game had improved, so that says a lot to me about where i'm at regarding the two.
Of course, making Ortega number one wouldn't really solve our second goalie issue, because if he's given the main slot then it would probably result in Ederson leaving in the not too distant future.
Ultimately, there's really not much between them. And i think you can sensibly make case for Ortega without being accused of disrespecting Ederson. The only thing that's certain is that they're both good enough to be number one at a top club and neither should be viewed as a back up to anyone really.
