To be fair to the poster I quoted I don't think they're a regularly Ederson basher, I just think they've got this one wrong.There seems to be a narrative to blame him for any goal conceded after the CL final that Courtois had a worldie in.
It’s scrambled a fair proportion of peoples’ brains.
Can't say the same for everyone though, there's definitely a growing few who love to try and lay blame at his feet for every single goal we concede. People even have a go at him for not saving penalties stuck in the top corner.
There was always growing calls for steffen to start over him during his spell, then Steffen would get a cup game and it would become abundantly clear exactly what Ederson brings to the table and how stupid of a shout that was. I expect the same to happen with Ortega unless we keep a clean sheet every game. whilst I like the look of ortega a lot and even this early seems to be an upgrade on Steffen, he isn't and will never be Ederson.
Ederson seems destined to be a victim of his own consistency for a vocal few and be underappreciated until he leaves and we're all pining for an Ederson clone.
