31 | Ederson - 2024/25

My friend I don't think you understand the HUGE difference between 78% (the expected percentage of converting a penalty) and 97% (the expected percentage of converting a penalty against ederson). you are talking saving 1 out of 33 and saving 7 out of 33.
Majorly flawed way of looking at it. Ederson has no influence on what the takers do, he can't make them put it off target or hit it poorly. All that stat shoes is he and we have had no fortune with penalties.

You think their keeper last night had anything to do with haaland smashing the bar? If penalties are trickling under his body then there would be a case to make about him not saving penalties, they're not, so there isn't.

Think people just don’t understand goalkeeping at the highest level and how clinical the finishing is.
 
A keeper cannot be expected to save a penalty. If he does, great, it's a bonus. He can be expected, and is expected, to make in-match saves, and by God, Ed's been doing some of that brilliantly, in recent games.
The team is being turned over on the break with ridiculous, and repetitive, ease these days. The fault lies there.
 
Anyone and I mean anyone that questions Ederson , his abilities and his contribution to our history is a wanker, a %uking wanker.

And the ones going on about saving penalties......well I will leave it because I will be getting banned, there are some serious idiots on here.
 
Not quite. You've not accounted for shots off target.
That's the frustrating thing that actually isn't his fault but that blows my mind anyway, that 32/33 went in!! Not a single penalty against us in the last 7 years has missed the target with ederson in goal! How is that even possible I don't get it.

That would be meaningful if you did a systematic comparison with other PL keepers. And particularly Allison, who has been considered, rightly I think, to be the other best keeper in the league over the last few years. By the way, off the top of my head, it seems to me he saved a last-minute penalty against Palace, at the very least. Haven't checked the others, and I can't quite be bothered. It is normal for a penalty to be scored. That goal is huge when you're facing a top PL striker hitting a dead ball from a distance of twelve yards.
What is abnormal is how shit City players have been at taking them, and I mean by that not even putting them on target, or hitting posts or the bar.
