I’m not having any keeper getting stick for not saving pens. I expect us to score every pen we have and we should expect the opposition to do the same.He should have saved Nunez goal and the penalty. He gets worse with every passing game.

As for the Nunez goal…it started with shit control from Bernie, followed by Kyle ball-watching and finished by our CBs not bothering.
There’s very few instances where I would say it’s on the keeper for not saving it. They are usually where they guess the right way, the pen isn’t well struck and it basically goes right through the keeper. The Aguero v Kepa in the CC final shootout springs to mind. It wasn’t like that today.Yeah no doubt it started with Bernie & was followed by ball watching but he should have saved that lets be honest.
Ridiculous post!He should have saved Nunez goal and the penalty. He gets worse with every passing game.
At what fucking point does he save that? He’s not in the Matrix, slowing time down so he can move faster than other people… there’s no fucking way he’s saving thatYeah no doubt it started with Bernie & was followed by ball watching but he should have saved that lets be honest.
I can only think that he had a preconceived idea that Ederson was going to be shit and stuck to it, whatever he did.At what fucking point does he save that? He’s not in the Matrix, slowing time down so he can move faster than other people… there’s no fucking way he’s saving that
It's a wonder we've had the success we've had with all these players that apparently aren't good enough for us.
A save for me is when the ball is going to the side of the keeper and he either uses either his limbs to stop the ball. That shot hit him plumb in the face and frankly a corpse would have stopped it.Saved a 1 on 1 with Nunez and had no chance with any of the goals.
If you think Eddie was culpable for the goals yesterday you really do live up to your username. 1st. Deflection takes it away from him 2nd. Salah hits it hard just inside the post 3rd. if you really, really think Eddie should have done better, then at least be consistent and slate Walker for not keeping the defensive line and Dias for watching Nunes. I mean fucking hell mate.The penalty is debatable but his consistency at failing to stop them, even when he goes the right way must bring into question his reflex speed. He is a big lump however and naturally will be slower to react. Pep has to balance whether what he brings as effectively an extra sweeper compensates his limited ability to shot stop?

Mad isn’t it? Courtois had a worldie in the CL final and some people lost their minds over goalkeeping. Ederson became the worst keeper overnight, despite not playing since.
Then, when he finally does play, he saves a one on one and had no chance with the goals and he’s confirmed their already made up minds that he’s shit.
Then the one on one save doesn’t count as it didn’t hit a limb!
Also it would seem that views on Ederson do seem to tip the balance from good to bad & its not just because of yesterday. Sometimes you have to accept that people have different opinions from yourself & that you wont be able to change their minds by forcing your opinion on people & insulting them.
Ederson can stand on the edge of the box sprint 20 yards out and beat the attacker to the ball and prevent a one on oneA save for me is when the ball is going to the side of the keeper and he either uses either his limbs to stop the ball.

I still think he provides a level of composure and reassurance to a defence playing out that I've never seen any other keeper come near, but conversely he seldom fills me with any confidence when a save is required, and that in a nutshell is the dilemma the manager faces; does what he gives the team negate what his limitations are, and results in the 5 years he's been here suggests it does.....for now!
