Yeah, but we have no idea what happened there. If Ortega called for the ball, then that was Gvardiol's fault, but we may never know.Remember the first goal in the Cup Final
He worries me, look at the cup final.Why?
I understand that he's no Eddie with the ball at his feet and he will need to improve and has since he's been with us, but Pep and the team will have to adapt also while he does.
There isn't an issue with his shot stopping, catching and control of the box and as we bought him, the club must feel that he has the ability to be our number one if needed.
We don’t however he is facing the play so he should be making that callYeah, but we have no idea what happened there. If Ortega called for the ball, then that was Gvardiol's fault, but we may never know.
But everyone makes mistakes, we've seen Eddie come charging out his goal over the years that have cost us too.
The cup final was down to two main things.He worries me, look at the cup final.
A huge difference from a no2 to playing week in week out.
Ederson is also a huge figure in the dressing room, a big personality and a player very much liked by his teammates.The cup final was down to two main things.
One, the defence weren’t as used to playing with him as they are with Ederson.
Two, the ball was a freak, insomuch as its depth meant the connection point was exactly on the line of the penalty area, meaning both Ortega and Gvardiol weren’t sure who should go for it.
We’ll never know if Ortega would have been more confident in dealing with it if he was our number 1.
He gets praise already, I don't think anybody is happy that Ederson could leave and that there will be no drop off with Ortega but the reality is, there is no one as good on the ball as Ederson and Ortega has proven himself as a goalkeeper already at City so he will get the job.I wonder if Ederson will only get the plaudits when he leaves and people realise how good and revolutionary he was/is
Remember the penalty that Ederson cost us against Liverpool who could have cost us the league or Tottenham away last season where he gifted a goal with a bad pass?Remember the first goal in the Cup Final
There was no chance that we spend the Ederson money on another keeper this close to the season. Ortega is ready to go, had a summer off, will be involved throughout pre season and has more than earnt his crack at permanent number one.
Furthermore there is a reason Ortega has played the majority of his football outside the top German division and isn’t the National keeper
It’s all opinions but for me a great number 2 and great to cover for Edersons injuries etc
However Ederson is world class and has the 10 plus trophies and international pedigree to prove it
