31 | Ederson - 2022/23 Performances

[Keeper!]

This is the problem, GK is the last place on the pitch where you can afford to have an uncomposed player.

LOL fuck me he is one of the most composed, unfazed people in the history of mankind.

Used to be. For a long while now he's been doing more and more insane nonsense that benefits nobody. Rushing out of goal and not getting there used to be once a season, now it's much more frequent. And what was that last night, getting booked for timewasting after about five warnings?

The other thing, not as major, is that when facing a penalty you never even hope that he might save it. He even told Saka where to go and then dived the other way.

His distribution improved second half, but first half it was crap. Long ball after long ball either to isolated players or defenders’ heads.

The penalty decision, whilst a joke, showed his poor decision making. Forget the contact, he ran out of goal when defenders were covering the striker on an angle, stood narrow and jumped up - easy enough for Nketiah to slip it goal-wards and he would have scored had Ake not bailed him out.

Personally, Ortega should get a run.

He is a keeper that plays on the very edge, he is our first and last line of defence, that's what makes him unique and open to fuck ups.

I love him as a keeper , a character and as a huge part of this team.

Even when trying to play mind games, Ederson even didn’t look convinced.

 

[Edwin Edwin]

Was never a penalty yesternight (can see why it was given though),but dear me,the number of rash decisions he's been making or made in the last year or so,under the guise of sweeping,is shocking.

Rarely looks like he can keep us in games in periods where we aren't playing well and just huge lapses in concentration lately

Simply put, we are winning despite/in spite of him,not because of him.

I was gobsmacked he dove the other way as well

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

I don't get all the Ederson negativity.

He has the best passing ability of any first-choice keeper in all top leagues. He has the longest range of passing too. He's not the best at stopping shots and his aggressiveness in the box sometimes doesn't pay off.

Ederson has always been this way.

Yet, due to the way we play, he's the best keeper for our system. I wouldn't trade him for any other.

Can you please explain what’s not “grown up” about that post?

I think it was the fact that he didn’t agree with what I said….! Haha!

That disjointed feel is down to not having a consistent back line, surely that’s not being discounted? The ability to play out is a shadow of itself without Dias, Laporte and stones; the others are no way near that standard, despite being solid defensively, hence the tinkering that has gone on…

I think some of our fanbase are becoming extremely entitled, expecting super human performances year on year, blind that its
Nigh on impossible to sustain; that isn’t aimed at you by the way, just the general consensus observed for a good few of our players;

We sit top, again, with a wank GK, shit defence, geriatric midfield and striker who doesn’t fit our style of play, despite scoring 30+ goals by January..

We’re doomed (:
