[yeah whatever !!]

Worlds best in 5 years.

Worlds best in 5 months.

Edited it for you.

 

[kaz7]

He has got to be the coolest dude ever and great reflexes

 

[OB1]

Thought he could have done better of their first but you win some, you lose some when the defence lets you down. Thankfully, people won't be on his back about it.

All in all, he continues to impress.

 

[domalino]

Game winning save right there.

 

[twosips]

Game winning save right there.

Wouldn't swap him for anyone.

 

[Rolee]

Great save but has to be said if he doesn't save it he likely cops a lot of stick, as tends to happen when keepers get beat by them type of shots.

Game winning save right there.

To be fair it was a great reverse (disguised) pass by their lad to put Insigne through one on one, (where the hell Danilo was god only knows) leaving Eddy little or no time to react.

Kahn + Neuer = Ederson

 

[manimanc]

I love him he's a beast. He'll get us an extra 10pts this season easy.

Reminds me of Harry Dowd , an absolute nutter , and hard as nails , flies out at the feet of strikers with no regard for his welfare , great signing by Pep and Txiki ive not seen a better keeper this season.

I remember watching Harry Dowd. Didn't they call him 'Cement Head' or did I dream that ?

 

[kaz7]

The experience of 2 games where they hard pressed him will have done him loads of good and developed him further,he is only 23,amazing

 

[domalino]

There was one moment last night when Napoli were pressing us really heavily, and I think Delph and Otamendi were under pressure a bit trying to play out. It looked a bit dangerous, the ball eventually and scruffily went to Ederson, and like it was slow motion, he just played the coolest pass out to Fernandinho between Callejon and Mertens trying to charge him down and afterwards they both looked at each other like what they were doing was pointless.

I thought he should have automatically gone to his left rather than right with his "dive": think that would have increased his chances of blocking the shot.

 

[BlueTG]

Oh that save at 2-2. Top class.

 

[SWP's back]

I thought he should have automatically gone to his left rather than right with his "dive": think that would have increased his chances of blocking the shot.

Then he gets blamed if it goes in at his near post.

Keepers never win.

 

[Andrew___K]

lol!

 

[supercity88]

I love him he's a beast. He'll get us an extra 10pts this season easy.

Just with his shot stopping. His work with the ball is outstanding and gains us another 10. He can just play through the press leading to three opposition players being out of the game. Or if the opposition sit back and counter he will step up and play sweeper.

No they don't and that is what I was alluding to in my comments. Bravo became and instant villain and Ederson an instant hero and whilst I have no doubt Eddie is the more talented the biggest difference in their starts has been the quality of defending in front of them.

If the keeper doesn't go down too early, he is very unlikely to get beaten at his near post from that angle and strikers most frequently go for the far post.

Anyhow, I'm always on the keeper's side: I played in goal for more years than Ed has been alive.
