31 | Ederson - 2022/23 Performances

[samarasra]

Ederson is the Felix of today.
Felix was the Brazil keeper in that fantastic Brazil World Cup Winning team of Mexico 1970. Rarely called upon. Knew his teammates would always score more goals than he would concede.
Who remembers goalkeepers in great sides?? Apart from Bert Trautman.

Lev Yashin.

 

[Cotontoquinn]

Lev Yashin.

Did not play in a great side. Constantly busy.
Bit like Nicky Weaver.

 

[blueparrot]

He's not the only one.

Why would that be, we will eventually repkace Pep with a coach that plays a similatpr way, why would we change any players that fit that system.

 

[dickie davies]

He was never Hoddle-esque. We adopt different tactics for different games as decided by Pep, so speculative to suggest "we don't play that way anymore" after 4 games.
So average that top level keepers reference him as a role model and many teams have changed their style to copy the City style, how is it possible that top managers recognise the modern role that keeper's fulfil and your discussion group cannot recognise this and appear to remain in the "stick the fat guy between the jumpers to fill the space" mindset. All that money spent on season cards and not appreciating or enjoying the team we have put together seems pretty pointless.

Is that modern role "dont bother with actual shot stopping?"
And where have I ever said I do not appreciate and enjoy the team that has been put together?

 

[Bluesince1979]

Where as he is the perfect goaly for us he is far from a great goaly. Hes just great for us.

I see this thread is rinse/repeat from last season.

Well … its true

Maybe the part when you said you and your cohort agreed he doesn’t contribute anything, which is plainly wrong and therefore you don’t appreciate what is in front of you?

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Good goalie for our system and that's fine with me. If we wanted a blockbuster "action packed" goalie, Martinez would be my preferred choice.

Think you need to move seats.

Just be thankful you don't sit there.
