I'm sure eddy will go on to smash all records as a keeper at city but at the moment Joe gets my vote and thanks for being there when it all began

For that night in the champs league against Klopps lot, has to be Joe he was great that night. Talk about getting a larupping and Joe stood tall. One wink from Mario and we escaped with a 1-1 draw, Joes' finest hour IMHO.

Peak Hart shits all over Ederson in terms of ‘saves’.
Imo Ederson is pretty average when using that criteria.
However, he is exceptional as a ‘keeper sweeper’ and with his distribution. 2 things Hart was average at.
Ederson ‘fits’ this team, and Pep’s style much, much better.
But if I needed a goalkeeper to ‘save’ something it’d be peak Hart every time.
Good summary. Peak Hart was incredible as a shot stopper and one of the best there’s been at one on one. Barcelona away 1-0 loss and spurs away 0-0 (I think) were his stand out games. In the first he single handedly kept Messi out half a dozen times. Could have been a cricket score. The latter he made 4 or 5 full length Worldy saves.
Ederson is just cool as fuck.

Joe was immense back in the day and before most keepers reach their peak. He hit a bit of a downward spiral a few years back and his limitations are now there for all to see. Ed and old joe are neck and neck except off the ground and thats the key these days.Good summary. Peak Hart was incredible as a shot stopper and one of the best there’s been at one on one.

Joe is completely overrated IMO, most of the views on his contributions are led by sentiment.
He ended up having almost as many shocking performances were he cost us as he did games where he was a stand out player.
For every Barca game there is a Chelsea away
Hart was a great shot stopper and just what we needed at that time, though although Ederson has some minor flaws, Hart had a couple of major ones. His main one that irritated me was his seemingly inability to parry the ball around the post. Countless times he'd make a brilliant save but the result was the ball ricocheting back into the goal area and many times we were punished.
The question of ball skills is a no brainier and it's easy to see why Pep has such great faith in Ederson. He was a fabulous acquisition for me.
In conclusion Hart was great and what we needed back then but Ederson is a definite step up.

Emerson’s shot stopping ability and one on one performance is better this season. With the ball at feet he’s the best in the world.
Hart’s purple patch was short lived, and he went off the boil, and became very weak down to his left, eg West Ham at home amongst others. Which is surprising because normally keepers train on and improve with age.
Just now Hart edges it, but by the end of the decade on Ederson’s current trajectory it’ll be him...
