Ederson's decision making is fucking atrocious, by the way. How many goals do we concede like that where he doesn't get anywhere near the ball, but leaves himself in no mans land and gives the striker a tap in? Stay on your line and give us a fucking chance.

Nobody can doubt his importance to the way we build from the back, but in all other areas of the game he's simply not good enough for a team that wants to win the biggest prizes, and the kicker is, he's getting worse with every passing season.

Bring Ortega in for a few games. Time to show Eddy he isn't irreplaceable.

He has actually regressed in all departments. I'm not sure his ability on the ball is that important anymore as teams have it sussed. It's got to the stage where I don't trust him to save anything, I'm a nervous wreck whenever the ball comes near our box or someone has a shot. I think it's a position we need to be looking at along with the eternal elusive left back.

It seems like we don’t want it, so much domination, yet it seemed we wanted to blow it.

I thought the formation was spot on today as we knew we would have all the ball
But at 70 mins when they started to bring attacking players pep should have immediately brought ake on
Don't get me wrong the finishing was awful today and even at 2-0 the game would have been over.
But he should have reacted quicker to there subs
Even pep should know we always concede from one chance

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

what did we think of the incident where the keeper got Kev?

 

[Cricket Blue]

It wasn't Ederson’s fault today but conceding from the first shot on target happens far to often for it to be bad luck…. Very frustrating and maybe that change is worth a try…..

He never saves anything anymore

 

[WestGorton]

Very frustrating :-( I’m sure I’m not alone when I could feel a leveller coming. Only ourselves too blame I’m afraid. But 4 points this week from 2 away games isn’t too bad, I’d have taken that before the arsenal game, but still a little bit of a downer conceding that chance today and us wasting 84 chances. Typical city hey :-)

On reflection you are correct but tired of not being able to defend irrespective of our chances.

Ederson does nothing about most goals we concede.

because of the way we set up/defend there is very lttle he can do about most of them....

 

[swblue7]

A totally dominant display, but too many missed chances and Foden not squaring to Haaland for a tap in was the worst of the lot. Pep has to shoulder the blame for the equaliser, without a shadow of a doubt he should have sured up the defence last 10 minutes when Forest started to push on. If Ake would have been introduced at left back that equaliser doesn’t happen cos Bernardo sold himself which lead to the goal. We go again ‍

 

[Lavinda Past]

Was it a penalty on Haaland?

A little touch on his shoulder (probably just outside the box) and he dropped like a sack of shit rather than going for goal.
Shameful for a striker of his calibre.

Ederson gets blamed for every goal we concede whether it's his fault or not.
