31 | Ederson - 2022/23 Performances

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Some viewers may have been watching this game. On Onefootball.com, now, headline "Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez happy with Man City clean sheet" followed by a brief quote from him "not easy to go one down. Some posters must have been at the 0-0 game.

Fortunately for him, saving shots is more relevant to his life and pay packet, than counting goals conceded.

 

[Keeper!]

If anyone genuinely thinks ederson could have saved the goal today then football really isn’t for you.

Amazing how people just seem to jump on a bandwagon and sadly now it seems the usual sheep have decided ederson is the target. We couldn’t have a better keeper for what pep wants.

It was a magnificent strike and goal, some people just can't accept that.

Ederson was quality today, great save from Watkins, brave and alert.

 

[Keeper!]

his passing is extremely overrated and he constantly gives it away under the slightest bit of pressure

WOW some amazing crap on here but, just wow

 

[eversince 76]

No way Ederson was able to save the shot that got their equaliser. It was simply beautifully struck.

Ederson is simply Ederson. Not the best goalkeeper in the world but perfectly fitting our system.

Did you catch any with that one?

 

[SWP's back]

I don't know if this is just me seeing what I want to see, but he seems to be doing better on 1v1's this season by waiting a bit longer before coming out.

Yes. Better at 1 on 1’s but either he’s been unlucky (likely) or he’s dropping off elsewhere as he’s down to below 50% save ratio at present after 6 games.

Played 6, made 6 saves and conceded 6 though none could be classed as errors exactly.

 

[SWP's back]

He's not. You need to get your facts straight.

He’s close though, second bottom. 45.5% save percentage.



Worth noting that the above doesn’t tell the whole story, he’s right in the middle of the pack for post shot expected goals (basically meaning his low save percentage is accounted for in the quality of shots he’s faced - he’s only two goals over what would be expected.



Pope and Pickford currently performing best and making saves they wouldn’t be expected to make.

But Ederson’s not been terrible by any measure but there’s some room for improvement over the season no doubt. Same with quite a few of our players.

 

[SWP's back]

his passing is extremely overrated and he constantly gives it away under the slightest bit of pressure

That’s not even remotely true. He’s the best passer of any keeper in the world under pressure.

 

[bluemoon32]

Do i think he should keep working on his basic keeping skills ?
Yes, i do, would i swap him for any other keeper ?
Nope

 

[Withnail]

Ederson had a good game yesterday, did well in the 1 on 1 against Ramsay. Ridiculous to blame him for their goal, the sheer pace of the shot would have beaten most keepers.
