Do we need a keeper who's good with his feet when no team ever bothers to press anymore?

We've been found out by teams just sitting back, our tactics and playstyle must evolve as the successful formula isn't so successful anymore.
Do they no longer press because they are scared that Eddy can bypass the press with pin point passes to Haaland.

When Ortega plays, teams press him. Unless the next keeper is as good with his feet, he'll get pressed.

Alisson was supposed to be just as good as Ederson with his feet when he arrived, and he can pick out a decent long ball, but teams know if you press him he panics. Ederson is the only keeper I've seen where forwards are clearly told not to press, which makes sense as you can man to man the rest of the team instead and try and restrict his options. Whenever he goes, our style will need to be tweaked even if still possession based.
 
Pep was not very clear about Ederson's availability at today's press conference. I think he said he was but it wasn't very convincing. He had the opportunity to say Ederson would be staying but he said was that Ederson had not knocked on his door and said he wanted to go.

I get the feeling Trafford will start and Ederson will be a sub. at Wolves.
 


Fabrizio Romano: "Ederson was not included in Manchester City's squad for the match this weekend. Because Galatasaray is in direct contact with Manchester City regarding Ederson. Despite some denials in the media, this is the concrete truth. Galatasaray continues negotiations with the player's agent and City. Nothing is finalized yet, but the talks have gained momentum."

I had forgotten about the embargoed press conference.

Compare the BHA coach on Baleba's future vs Pep on Ederson. Pep is coy and quiet and devious I would say. I think City are negotiating Ederson's sale but it is uncertain
 
Even if fit he shouldn’t start be like going into work on your last day he wouldn’t give a fuck
