Simply can’t have shouted that it was his ball for their first. Very poor mistake to make in what has been a fantastic season for him when called upon.
 
im not saying Ederson has never fucked up have I?

It's not even just the goal. He had a lot of moments where he looked erratic and stuck in his decision making.

He isn't a bad keeper, and I'm happy with him as a backup, but he's the backup at best.
100%
Putting shot stopping and distribution aside, Eddie sniffs out danger much more rapidly.
 
I recall the game vs Huddersfield when Dias left it for him but Ortega never came and retreated back but managed to save the shot. Not sure whether Ortega shouted for it that time or the defence it just so used to Eddy coming out and dealing with it.
 
Awful mistake and all on him. If you're coming, you get to the ball. Otherwise you position yourself to react to what the defender does and give him the option. Ederson can make decisions where they may seem a might mental but he's decisive. He makes his mind up the instant thr ball is played and he follows through with it without hesitation. There's the difference. Playing our number 2 in the cups has cost us numerous times before, but it's the price we must pay for a quality backup. He fucked up and it has cost us today but he's shown his worth. Move on and learn from it.

Exactly. You either need to be out far earlier to guarantee you're the first to the ball, or you need to give your defender a valid option for a pass. He did neither.

The good far outweighs the bad for the season at least.
