The 'idiot' you're referring to is a pro coach/analyst that writes for konzeptfussballberlin.de, guess he knows his stuff.

I don't think he's actually watched Ederson then tbh, if he goes for goal there the keeper has 2 or 3 seconds to get back on his line and have his feet set. That's without even considering the scenario that in a fair contest, outside the box for the ball, from the same starting position a goalkeeper is going to be in serious trouble against most outfield players.

Can you score from a goal kick?

Because if yes, Ed could just score. If not, if anyone really put their keeper there, you'd have Sané move closer to the keeper, and Ederson can definitely knock it into the opposition box, and no keeper in the world is going to outpace Sané who gets a single touch on the ball and it's a goal.

The actual answer is simple - you give up and drop deep, allowing us to get to half way before trying to press. Burnley did that and it genuinely caused us trouble before the penalty.

Technically no, I was talking about putting him in a footrace where the striker just has to force a touch off him or the keeper. However, you can't score directly from a throw in or corner either, which the referees don't seem aware of. See Rory Delap.

I bet if the Spurs keeper was that high up the pitch, Ederson could play a 1-2 with a CB or fernandinho from the goal kick, and still get it over his head and into goal before Lloris got back.

Another option, yep. The whole idea of having a sweeper keeper that leaves the box before the initial pass is just plain stupid tbh, as the costs involved outweigh the benefits, they absolutely have to win and control the pass in that scenario as any layoff leaves an open goal. The keeper would be better off staying near his line and getting ready in case Ederson overhits the pass.
 
So glad he's ours, I reckon a few clubs will be kicking themselves after seeing how good he's doing for us.
 
Watching the dippers game and the Mignolet error, you really appreciate what a top keeper we have.

Law 16
A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents if the ball left the penalty area.

You can also score directly from a corner btw :)

Law 17

A goal may be scored directly from a corner kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents.

Sorry to be a pedant :)

Ah OK, always thought they were indirect set pieces. In that case Eddie could just shoot.
