31 | Ederson - 2021/22 Performances

[decmancity]

I don’t like slagging off our own players but…

Man City Twitter account just posted a video of his top 10 saves of the season, they were all basic saves. I understand he has to be in the right position etc, but if u watch that video and compare it to any others from the premier league u will understand why a serious conversation needs to be had

Great. I reckon we should sign Townsend and Peter Crouch as they once scored worldies against us, better than any goal Sterling or Jesus have scored.

Fucking unbelievable this forum sometimes.

Ederson is best keeper in the league. End of. Back to back golden gloves, back to back titles and the rest.

Shame Alisson didn't dig out more saves and help his team get more points or we could say he's the best.

They did well finding 10.

 

[No One Understands]

I've watched every one of our matches this season along with most of liverpool's.
Eddie's distribution is unmatched. Allison is more prone to making poor passes in comparison. Alison's shot stopping is marginally better. However Eddie is excellent at sniffing out danger, and is braver than his compatriot. When Eddie charges the opposition in his box he very often gets it right when compared to allison. Unfortunately, if it does not go well, it looks bad. As a team we play a high risk high reward game when compared to others.
He is an excellent keeper, and I loved joe hart when he was here, but Eddie is more of an all rounder. The only part of his game that requires some improvement in my opinion is penalties. Saving them not scoring them.

There's no way I buy Alisson is only marginally a better shot stopper. Alisson has overperformed his xGA by 8 this season, Liverpool's whole system is reliant on him being an elite one vs one specialist. If Ederson was playing for Liverpool, there wouldn't be a title race because Ederson is pretty poor in those situations.

Allison is better one on one. I think Eddy is better at everything else and a better fit for our team.

Is there a metric that shows the quality of shots faced? I feel (just from watching, no stat behind it that I'm aware) we have the ball so much that when the opponent does create against us, it's usually a high quality chance because it's so rare and the opponent needs to be perfect to execute it. That's why we see stats like 1/2/3 shot(s) on goal, 1/2 goals conceded, etc.

I'm just wondering if that metric is out there and what the numbers looks like. "Percentage of high quality (high xG) chances saved/stopped" and that stat relative to other to goalkeepers in Europe.

 

[marc_mcfc90]

His distribution is obviously unmatched, but he doesnt actually do his job which is saving shots.

Might aswell bring Pirlo out of retirement and stick him in net

 

[Mike N]

He’s absolutely fundamental to the way we play. The problem with the injuries to our defenders couldn’t have been easy for his confidence. A nice rest this summer will do him wonders, I’m sure.

Alisson is a way better keeper than Ederson. End of the story. Anyone who is watching football will admit it. Ederson's nervousness, lack of communication, easy mistakes, and inability to make sometimes simple saves has cost us the Champions League. And he has never looked like a clever, calm guy which is very important in terms of a world-class goalkeeper.

Absolute horseshit , blue you say ...

Being a blue doesn't mean you can't critique your own players. Ederson's shot stopping is a huge issue and it's shown itself in the CL virtually every season. We can never rely on him to bail us out.

He wasn’t critiquing, he literally listed out everything a keeper needs to do and says he is horrid at all of it, some of which makes no sense when put under scrutiny.

It’s one thing to argue he is not the most gifted shot stopper or sometimes makes mistakes he shouldn’t, but to try to make out that he is shit and is the reason for us losing the Champions League is laughable.
