ortega in net please. we cannot keep conceding with our first shot on target.

in the cup games v liverpool and chelsea he looked more than capable and made some fantastic saves.

Ortega
Walker, Dias, Laporte, Ake
Rodri
Bernardo, Gundogan
Foden, Haaland, Grealish

Honestly agree that we should drop Ederson. Forget the build up stuff. He’s role is to stop the ball going past him and yet he constantly concedes the only shot on target against him.

One of my main issues with ederson is that you never see him talking to the back four good keeper make themselves heard

Haha as if we’re starting Ortega and Lewis away in a CL knockout tie

We might in 2 weeks time if we win this leg 5-0.

Bollocks.
"Only shot on target" has nothing to do with the topic
if a keeper can save a ball or not.

I understand it's painful to concede from 1 shot on target,
but couldn't we all just talk about the QUALITY of a finish to discuss
if the keeper should have saved it?

Pep won't rotate keepers for fun. Finishing Ederson during the season without a very good reason won't happen. We have enough problems, we won't open a new can.

Btw, ask Pep in the pre match presser about replacing Ederson for being so constantly poor and you get the next 10 minute rant...

I’d play Ortega personally. I‘d also hazard a guess that Pep isn’t far away from dropping Eddie too.

I think Pep's about as far away from dropping Ederson today as the day he arrived.

Since Eddie’s playing out from the back is far less effective than it used to be then I highly doubt that assertion.
