31 | Ederson - 2021/22 Performances

[city warrior]

I think it was a very poor match by Ederson. Not only for the stupid penalty, but he was slow for some Brighton’s shots, and he barely deflected them

 

[leo_city]

By the way, I really liked Brighton’s GK. Good shot-stopper, good sweeper, very good and confident with his feet, and has as much power as Eddie. There were some long balls that were like Eddie’s.

Robert Sanchez, David Raya and now Aaron Ramsdale are all more or less copies of Ederson's blueprint. Over the course of this season we will keep hearing about them

Yeah not sure everything is fine with him. Something looks off. Some of the saves were simple, but there was this hit from Troussard early in second half that he almost fumbled, went under his arm, and luckily the bounce was good enough to see it over. Two other occasions where his handling from shots straight at him was a bit odd. He hasn't looked himself. Same goes for the Liverpool game

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Wasn’t his finest game but he is still a really integral part of our offensive game.

 

[samuelyeboah]

bizarre decision to dive in with that penalty. could have saved it as well.

 

[Long Slow Goodbye]

A lot of this is explainable by the fact that long shots are generally easier to save, and City concede very few long shots because they have so much possession, with long shots usually being taken by teams that are trying to break through a deep block.

Conversely someone like Mendy faces a lot of shots from players like Dybala or Morata that are just speculative efforts in an attempt to break down Chelsea's thick defence.

Not to say Mendy isn't a brilliant 'keeper but that's a big chunk of the reason why Ederson's save percentage is so low. Most of the chances we concede are trickier saves than average.

Bellingham’s goal last season, and Messi’s this were shots from distance that were very saveable - Joe Hart loved them.

He’s like Victor Valdes, who also looked adequate in possession-dominant Guardiola teams, but I’d be willing to compromise some of the flair with his feet for a keeper with the capacity to make saves that you wouldn’t expect them to - I think that would be the difference in the Champions League, and also in the increasingly competitive title races.

Ffs how many times has he saved us. Who would you rather have ?

Apart from the fact they can’t pinpoint pass like Eddie can

Not particularly often. Hugely overrated due to his phenomenal left peg and nonchalance. Yes he suits our style but as a shot stopper he’s very average. The scouse keeper is miles better for a start.

I think he's better than Allison, he just seems to get excited and rssh when he has a bit to do....tbf it's probably boredom!

has he "saved" us all that often, really? don't know if that's the angle i'd take. also, you don't have to retreat to this response of "WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE??" every time a player receives criticism. it's boring.

 

[samarasra]

More involved in the second half than most games so more opportunities to make a mistake, one of which he took.
Still 4 goals conceded in 9 PL games, not really time for the glass half empty brigade to reach for the panic button.

Imo you are totally incorrect apart from "he suits our style". You must think goalkeeping is easy or missed a lot of games he's played. I have no wish to see Alisson start for City, he makes more mistakes than Ederson over a season, as for being "miles better", that's OTT rhetoric like the stuff failed politicians inflict on those willing to listen.

Maybe if you are bored then it is an angle you should consider. Ederson conceded a penalty and miskicked twice today, on the other hand he saved more shots on goal today than we have conceded in the previous 8 games, not his best day, not his worst. Imo there is no other keeper I would prefer to have right now and I didn't need any effort to courteously answer bluemick1' s question and share his reaction.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

There has never been a keeper in the history of football who didn’t concede goals, or make mistakes. Ive seen countless keepers over the years “star” for shite teams, diving here, there and fucking everywhere to make worldie saves, only to look absolute shite when they play for a better team and face fewer shots. Look at Pickford.

We might be able to find a better shot-stopper, but what use is that when we rarely face any shots? It is far more important that our keeper is able to get involved in the play and he does that perfectly. Eddie is the best keeper in the world for this City side.

If you think Ederson makes too many errors, watch Alisson for a full season, you'll be shocked.

 

[Nihilist]

Ederson has been good and he really fits our game. Wouldn't want any other gk at the moment

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Alisson would fundamentally change the way we play for the worse. I know people seem to have it stuck in their heads that shot stopping is the only important quality in a keeper but we use ours as the first point of attack. Alisson's shite at that.

I wouldn't mind but we've had four seasons of it working a charm and it's been the same so far this time around.

I get that he has areas for improvement and I get that a superior shot stopper would have been a better fit in the Mancini days.

But we're way better than that these days for a whole load of reasons. Ederson is one of them.

I wouldn’t be he had a dodgy spell last season other than that he’s been world class consistently. Every keeper makes mistakes prime Schmeichel did for the scum. Difference between Ederson and someone like Alisson is he rarely makes top saves and has chocolate wrists. Alisson and the real top keepers are also much better in one on ones. Great passer though and a great watch out Eddie just nowhere near world class as a shot stopper.

What a load of nonsense.

"Rarely makes saves and chocolate wrists."

Ive read somethings on this forum in the years ive been here but that is right up there.
