When hes on his passing is a weapon. Scary first 5 with some very risky passes but they were 100% accurate. He was very good today
He makes us so much better when his passing is on.There's just nobody else like him.
Reactionary Section, dont take it too serious.This thread. Mental
LolGet this guy signed up for another 5 years, pay him whatever. Nobody like him young or old.
It's his biggest strength and we need to keep using it. Chelsea and today showed how devastating he can be.Obviously the assist gets the attention, but the long passes into Haaland and Marmoush's feet were clinical.
I don't think there's another goalkeeper around that can do that so reliably.
The disrespect to him from certain elements of our fan base is shameful for a player that has contributed as much as anyone in the last decade of success, the same applies to Rico who like Ederson showed everyone was a talent he is yesterday.He's 31, not really that old for a keeper. He's still got a good 4 years in him.
I'd like to see him get a contract and commit to being here for a few years and stop the speculation he is off to Saudi.
If he does go to Saudi for the money then so be it. It would be a shame though. He has a lot to offer at our level.
Those who want him gone would realise what a huge loss he would be. He will excel with new players coming in, especially those that offer movement for his passing.
Don’t think it’s about a contract as I think he wants to go after winning everything here . For a time I was thinking Ortega for number one and I also believe that Eddie doesn’t make that save from son but now I do think Ortega is not a number one for us even though he is still a really good keeper but Eddie is just that bit better .Give him the contract he deserves, it would be a huge boost if he stays at our club.
For me Ortega has shown a lot of weaknesses this season, a very good back up but never a No 1, Eddie is way above his level.Don’t think it’s about a contract as I think he wants to go after winning everything here .

He's cost us three games this season with late-game idiocy: Feyenoord, Utd and latterly Madrid.The disrespect to him from certain elements of our fan base is shameful for a player that has contributed as much as anyone in the last decade of success, the same applies to Rico who like Ederson showed everyone was a talent he is yesterday.
Everyone makes mistakes but he has plenty in the bank for me during his time with us, and will always be a legend for this moment alone...He's cost us three games this season with late-game idiocy: Feyenoord, Utd and latterly Madrid.
This is the reason we're likely to head out of the CL at the play-off stage.
He has certain qualities but it's revisionist to suggest he shouldn't be criticised for some extremely poor play this season.
I always like to be wrong when it comes to city tbh but this nico signing and Mamoush really has changed everything as you can see even ederson now has more time on the ball because Nico is always closing players and it’s now not just the Viking looking for the ball . Slow build up for me is now done at city and let’s attack Madrid with paceFor me Ortega has shown a lot of weaknesses this season, a very good back up but never a No 1, Eddie is way above his level.
