Does anyone think he’s a good shot stopper but shit with his feet?
i don't blame you with stats like thisThe ultimate confidence I had whenever the ball was played back to him has turned into nervousness in the last month or so.
City won 2-0If his distribution is this poor, what exactly does he bring? It’s surely not shot stopping. So what is it that he can do better than Ortega at the moment?
OkIf Eddie continues on his current trajectory and Ortega performs well against Burnley it gives Pep a decision to make for the run in.
He might have credit in the bank but that doesn’t last forever.
I don't think so in the main mate. I think folk just reflect what they see. He did some good stuff yesterday (his save in the lat minute, a couple of really dominant punches, and lets not forget he kept a clean sheet) however there was some pretty strange distribution and not helped by the fact that the back four found it impossible to play an out ball for the first 20 mins. Personally I have gone from total confidence in him to a lot less than that this season just because of what I see in front of me.i don't blame you with stats like this
Ederson - 90.4%
Manuel Neuer - 86%
Marc-Andre ter Stegen - 85.4%
last week it was his saving ability, this week because he didn't let a goal in its his kicking , people on this thread are starting to look a bit scapegoaty
Exactly. Not sure why some people seem to think that because he’s been great since he came we can’t comment on his sub-par current form when it comes to distribution. Maybe he needs a month or two off like Pellegrini did with Hart in 2013/14 when he lost his form to give him a chance to get back to his best. It worked.I don't think so in the main mate.

Yesterday was pretty poor for him - 77%, and a surprising number of balls straight into touch when he wasn't really under much pressure. It didn't even look like Newcastle had a particularly good press either. I think he was just having one of those days.i don't blame you with stats like this
