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.
Sort of summed him up today. Commanding first half, then shaky second half and an absolutely daft decision to go for the ball in that situation. Very silly goal to give away
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.
