Fantastic, one of his best.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Great game. He seems to play better when he's kept busy than when he's facing the odd counter attack now and again. I also think Ederson feels assured when Dias is in front of him barking out instructions and instilling confidence and belief into our back line.

More of that please Mr Ederson

 

[Keeper!]

We can do better than Ederson, but I don't think it is that big of a deal. GK is probably the position Pep will touch the least. Valdes was not that great either (although he was incredible in 1v1). FFS, Pep won national cups and leagues with Pinto who is a below average GK. I don't rate Ederson that high, but a Pep team is so good in every way that you could put a CB (almost any CB is better with their feet than a GK) and be an extremely competitive team.

But still, some people here seem like Ederson's family with how hard they defend him. I remembered a year ago I had a discussion criticizing his abysmal strategy in 1v1, and a lot of people saying he was good, and now a year later someone just posts an analysis stating exactly what I said, and that Ederson has improved his 1v1 thanks to changing his approach. Honestly, the way you attack a 1v1 is basic GK. Still, it's an improvement and any of us is happy that Eddie has improved in those.

I still think his agility, elasticity are abysmal for an elite GK, and I hope he works on that. I still think this is by far his worst season (and pretty much any stats confirm that). I still think some of his defenders are delusional (someone literally said Ederson with his sweeping ability save us 2/3 1v1 per match that none other GK would make, it cannot get more ridiculous than that). And you know what? It barely matters, Pep teams can win with almost any shot-stopper.

That aged well you top hat

This is the level of performance he should strive for every week .His saves were the difference,the match was even .

How is that possible when he normally only has to save one or two shots a game? Or are you saying you’d prefer it if we were less dominant in games and gave the opposition more chances?

Don’t think you’ve really thought this through.

Like I said previously, some City fans just don’t get it when it comes to Ederson. Fortunately, Pep does.

 

[merz]

he was very bad for a couple of weeks but (like most of our players this year), seems to be at the top again when it counts. happy for him and us. if he plays like he did recently im all for it.

 

[FantasyIreland]

[BlueTG]

That save down to his left was cracking. Get in there.

Did great last night.Kept his game simple,maintained his focus,and bossed his area.

Fair play,please maintain.

Looked pretty clearly like the whole team had been told to get it clear quicker and earlier last night.

Probably a good insight into how much of Ederson's usual intricacy is instructed
