31 | Ederson - 2024/25

[meeesh]

Agreed. But some keepers seem to have an okay record at them. That guy who played for Newcastle (can't remember his name, sorry; was he Czech?). And Paul Cooper back in prehistoric times. Martinez, at Villa. Coton, back in the day? It can't be just down to luck (though it does play a part, obviously).

Srnicheck

He often dives too early, rushing himself by deciding on a side before the penalty taker. Most takers are aware of this and wait for him to move first then send the ball in the opposite direction.

Srnicheck

That's him. Damn, but you're good.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Always feel like a penalty taker prefers to pull the ball to the opposite side of his kicking foot…or simply, keeper should dive to same side as kicker’s foot!

Right footed shooter? Dive to your right as hard as you can, with your left hand and foot elevated!

If you KNOW a Player prefers one side, play the percentages, but otherwise, bet on the pull!!

 

[nellyonthewing]

Do we have a goalkeeping coach who works on saving penalties. I'm guessing not!

 

[samuelyeboah]

I believe today makes ederson's penalty record (excluding shootouts) for city to be 1 save in the last 31 penalties faced. ALL other 30 went in - not even a single one missed the target/hit the post. This stat stretches back 7 years

 

[TonyM]

I thought he was very good today. I don't mind a keepkeeper giving a penalty away or nor being able to save them providing that they are brave which he was.

I think its the same guy who does the corners

 

[Saddleworth2]

I have noticed Eddie always commits before the ball is struck. Penalty takers know that. They watch which direction and simply put the ball in the opposite. He would save more if he waited until the ball was struck. I can’t understand why the coaches haven’t helped him with that.
Still wouldn’t swap him for anyone else though the mad bastard.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Saved us a few times today.

 

[kaz7]

Excellent game , cant ask for more

 

[Chak19]

Owned that bastard Traore.

 

[city warrior]

Traore is crap, but I said last season and I'll say it again. His 1v1 went from awful (2 seasons ago) to excellent last year. MotM performance and the type that defines titles at the end of the season. Well done Eddie.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Outstanding today. Two massive saves and was the direct ball to Haalands knockdown for Dokus goal

 

[skillman]

Fantastic today. Saved our arse twice.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Another game where we don't get 3 points without him. He's been phenomenal so far.

Same against west ham, Brentford and Newcastle, all 4 games he earned us points yet there's genuinely people suggesting he hasn't had a good start to the season....

The ones who say he can’t save anything are frankly barmy

 

[its a Barm]

Eddie is a great one on one shot stopper but rubbish at penalties

 

[red 2 hats]

My man of the match yesterday, couple of great one on one saves, his booking for time wasting was a joke, when you consider what other keepers have got away with, two tiered refereeing.
