As least Sterling is happy that Ederson is now the boo boy :-D

In terms of shot stopping? About a dozen in the PL alone. In terms of also being able to use his feet and save shots then just Alisson in the PL.

You're not actually claiming Alisson is a better passer, are you?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

His shot stopping hasn't been as good recently but to say there are around 12 other keepers better at that is just crazy. There's been many times when he's saved us in one on one situations.
As for Allison how man times as he fucked up playing out from the back.
I wouldn't swap Ederson for anyone.

I keep posting that I just like him to 'get in the way' a bit more, but I wouldn't swap him for anyone. He fits into our team like his hands fit into his gloves. And I await a long drawn out pen shoot out so he can rip the net off its anchors.

No he's claiming when you combine passing and shot stopping Alisson is better.

Which may be true, but he's still vastly overestimating Alisson's passing ability relative to Ederson's.

Normal fan: “Ederson can improve his shot stopping, hopefully back to previous levels”

Weird Fan: “wHy Are YOu HatInG oN hIM?”

Build your strawman wherever you want pal, I’ll be over here talking with the adults. I’ve made no such claim, I responded to someone (two actually) claiming he’s a walking disaster with ball at feet, likely based on a ten minute brain fart he had against us 18 months ago.

The stats don’t back it up. I was certainly surprised that Alisson makes more passes per game than Ederson, were you?

Don't be so fucking cringe.

Your awkwardly worded comment has already been explained to me.

:-D

He can improve his shot stopping, absolutely agree - never stand still.

Some stuff I've seen the last few days have bordered on the ridiculous - one example on Facebook was suggesting we should get one of the keepers from the relegated teams to give him some competition - so i asked whether they felt Angus Gunn was a better keeper and they said "Yes he is"!!!

But Liverpool is not losing goals so frequently in an important games during Champions League like us :(

They conceded 5 against Villarreal and Benfica.

 

[Plain Speaking]

No, it says I’m not full of blue bias. It also says it’s unlikely you watched many of Liverpool’s games this season.

You’re remembering one bad game that Alisson had against City in the season prior to the one just ended.

Alisson made more saves, had more touches, had a higher save percentage, completed more passes and had the same amount of unsuccessful short passes and virtually the same pass completion percentage. Opta also rated him substantially higher

That doesn’t mean I want Ederson to leave, it means that he can improve.

By the way, for context, neither get anywhere near the top 30 PL all time save percentages on record (Cezh at 90% in 2005 holes the record), and to make the top 30, a save percentage of 80% is needed.

Ederson shared the golden glove, although he made 60 saves (20th highest) in 38 games, compared with 148 for the Leeds keeper.

There are a great many better shot stoppers in the PL, none (or perhaps only one) of whom could do the job City require of their keepers.

That's a well balanced post. I love Ederson but sometimes he's a little flat footed. We must look at constantly improving and minimising areas of weakness.
