If he is then we are dropping a clanger because sure as hell he is going in the summer and then we are fuck Ortega about so he will leave and then we are in a position where we have to buy 2 top keepers .Still our first choice for the rest of the season. Ortega hasn't convinced me he is, even with Ederson's patchy form. Next season is a different situation but that is not down to his ability.
Eddie will not be sold through us wanting him out but he won’t stay either .He's been that good of a goalkeeper over the years that he's changed how goalkeepers play.
He's changed the role of what a goalkeeper can be. Not just a shot stopper.
They all want to be like him now. All trying to be good passers of the ball and cool under pressure.
And if you think that's easy, look how many fuck things up often.
Doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves. He's been bloody brilliant!

Looks like a player who has lost the fire and isn't really that bothered..... and he's in such an important role we can't afford him to be like this
Maybe the Saudi money turned his head, maybe it's because he's won it all, or maybe its because those infront are so out of form they are offering him no outlets
Either way, his passing has been wayward & predictable and when his passing is like that his shot stopping/decision making gets exposed
The club need to plan for his departure, whether its this summer or in a future summer because I can't see him staying TOO long

Yes. Eddie’s been revolutionary and very much part of what Pep’s about: innovative, attractive football. Average shot stopping plus world class distribution plus a touch of madness and a decent defence in front of him = entertaining footballer who’s pretty effective on balance.
Against that, his penalty saving record is dire. You just know they will score.
He was actually playing quite well earlier this season but has indeed looked a bit shit recently, like everyone else. We are no longer playing attractive football and are committing howlers all over the pitch. He isn’t covering himself with glory but neither is he the main cause of our woes.

How many penalty kicks is a goalkeeper expected to make ?
No, im pretty sure that Neuer was the one who started that change.Ederson maybe got his passing to a higher lvl than him , but overall he isnt close to Neuers abilitys as a goalkeeper.He's been that good of a goalkeeper over the years that he's changed how goalkeepers play.

If xG is accurate, around 1 in 5.How many penalty kicks is a goalkeeper expected to make ?
In reality, it’s much less than that, especially at the top level.
