Thank You Ederson Moraes

[Axel Freed]

You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.

What memories :-)

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

he was an outstanding goalkeeper, thats why he won 3 golden gloves in 8 years. Only Peter Czech and Joe Hart won more. They both won 4 in 15 seasons!

He benefited from playing for a successful side who would average over 70% possession most games. Chances at his goal for a few years was quite minimal. That isn't to take away from his golden gloves, but lets have it right, that wasn't because he was making worldies every week.

 

[calumdown]

goodbye and good luck, you crazy man.

we will always love you for what you did for us.

Very true, and I'm missing the guy already ......

Just more to elevate his status as a City great.

I love the fact that Mourhinho would have had to walk back into the rags dressing room, drenched, stinking of milk and looking like a soft twat whilst still listing to us celebrating!

As did Schmeichel, Seaman, Czech, Grobberlaar, Allison and Van der Sar! (they all won the league and European Cup (except Seaman) and arguably played behind better defenses than Ederson ever did at City).

They are all classed as greats of the game! However, not one of them have achieved any of the below, Ederson achieved them all in 8 seasons! He also has more trophies than them all!

No GK has ever won more English league titles than him
No GK has ever won 4 English league titles in a row
No GK has ever won the English domestic Treble
No GK has ever got 100 points in the Premier League
No GK has more assists!
No GK has won the treble without loosing a game in the Champions league!

He didn't benefit form us,City benefited from him him mate!

Eddie was a new breed of goal keeper and what a fabulous goalie he turned out will always be remembered in the top 3 with Bert and Frank , thanks for the memories

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

What a mealy mouthed post. If you can’t see what he’s given the club over the last 8 years you’re either blind or stupid.

They could be both tbf.

I agree they had better defences, in terms of shots at goal though I imagine Ederson faced less, for the very simple reason of our possession game. If we have the ball for three quarters of the game then you are reducing massively how many attempts will be at your goal. It's no coincidence that when that game left us last season, Ederson had a stinker of a season.

You are going off track when the original point was about his golden gloves. Great achievement but absolutely a team achievement. United won the treble without losing a game if I remember rightly. Also you nicely tuck in the word treble when it was our back up keeper in goal who won us the fa cup, conceding one goal in the process that was a dodgy pen.

He absolutely benefited from being in our team. Put him in a relegation threatened team and he isn't a keeper that will keep you up. Put any of the keepers there you mentioned in one and they will make countless saves. We did benefit from him too though you are very right. The best goalkeeping feet in the game ever and it allowed us to be so successful too.

The bloke’s a City legend.

Loved the video he did on os

 

[TinFoilHat]

Lovely fair well from Eddie.

Wish him and his family in their new life.

That treble team slowly breaking up. 5 of the starting XI gone now, either permanently or on loan. Plus Walker, who was a sub that night.

Fair point and a very good reply mate! Maybe I was being a tad biased ha!

Either way, we both loved watching him win the lot!

 

[Ysabel 123]

Sometimes I love the little quirks that Football throws up!

In my opinion Allison and Ederson are the two best Premier League keepers ever. It's mad that Brazil's two best ever goalies play in the same era!

Probably a bit like Shilton and Clemence competing to be England nr1!

The CL final save from this angle…

Last 20 mins of that game, you could have shot a gun at him and he'd have parried the bullet. In a game where we clearly almost let the occasion get to us, he held his nerve the whole time.
