31 | Ederson - 2021/22 Performances

[ArdwickBlue_M12]

We would have to completely change our system if we got rid of eddy because he is a pivotal part of it. I think once pep leaves then eddy might lose his place as he just isn't a top keeper. yes he is good with his feet (his distribution levels has dropped in my opinion) but he just isn't a top keeper. that's just my opinion

 

[ArdwickBlue_M12]

If Bazunu is as good as we think he is, time to give him some action. Klopp has given Kelleher time and it keeps Alisson on his toes. De Gea has Henderson on his toes. Steffen is no threat to Eddie.

spot on mate. he is too comfortable

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Not sure he was really there either leg to be honest. Hopefully this is a blip in his City career (I expect it is)

Think I agree with those that are saying we need a better backup keeper to push him. It just seems to have the feel of a guy whose taken his foot off the gas a bit, but long live Eddie

Crucial tie. Everyone needs to be on their game

I think coutois made a few world class saves last night to keep madrid in the game .

would Eddie have made those saves, I just don’t think so.

 

[Plain Speaking]

And he did make a save last night , the attackers did fuck all and the defence parted like the red sea

TBF our attackers had twice as many shots on goal as they had, Courtois and a goal line clearance kept them in it. We also missed Walker being fully fit, fine margins! ;-(

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I just went back and watched an Ederson saves compilation from his last season at Benfica and he has definitely regressed since then. I don't think he was ever absolutely top-tier in terms of shot-stopping, but there are a number of saves from 16/17 that I really doubt he would have made for us this season

Similar with Bravo. I watched him live playing for Chile at the Copa America in 2016 and he was absolutely immense, I was delighted when City signed him. We all know how that played out

I'm really think @domalino is on to something with our goalkeeping coaching setup being deficient

 

[nellyonthewing]

Both Ederson and Courteois were poor in the home tie. Last night Courtois was outstanding repeatedly keeping RM in the game whilst Ederson was poor again and had no impact in either denying them goals or launching great counter attacks. He is too heavy ,not agile and not tall enough. When we are playing keep ball with an opponent not harassing our defence its all very well pinging it around the defence but save some shots that aren't just rebounding off you and maybe save a penalty occasionally...

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

We have a potential top class keeper in Bazunu not sure if he's the sweeper keeper pep wants but he's a shot stopper

 

[RandomJ]

It's great distributing well from the back but his shot stopping affords the team no mistakes.

Key point there and I think it makes our defenders nervous as they know if they make a fuck up it's most likely going to result in a goal.

 

[mancityscot]

be interesting to see what our 'shots on target against vs goals conceded' ratio is this season?

There cant be much between the two.
