Never gonna be back against the wall all game with this team. The sign of a good stopper is coming up with the goods when needed. Ederson does that. In addition he contributes to our possession game.
And the main thing for me, he has a fucking presence.

That throw out to set Sane away was a thing of beauty or the kick from his hands with the really low trajectory, thought he'd messed it up at first and then I see Aguero latching on to it in space out wide, excellent distribution.

First thing comes into mind is the save he had against Salah at 1-0 and while with equal players.
Also good save in the last minutes vs Bournemouth.

I'm skeptical because of the last one, but he's got me warming pretty bloody quickly.
Tracking back is overrated.

moving on.
has he actually been tested? im trying to recall all of our matches and we've had the ball for most of them so im wondering if we actually know about Emerson yet. he obviously had the huge gaffe vs United in preseason and a few whiffs on corners but he's made basically every save and has been quick off his line. but he hasn't faced a barrage of shots from quality players yet i dont think. he still feels a little untested thus far.
Untested?? In a team that tends to have around 70% of the possession your not going to get him touching the ball and making saves every few minutes. What you want is a keeper that is switched on all of the time and that can hold his concentration. On Saturday I don't recall him touching the ball until the very last minute of the first half when the ball was played through to the Palace forward, Ederson was on him in a flash and slid out and got the ball. That is just as important as a flying save.
He was clearly tested last night and came through with flying colours. He's aggressive and constantly on the front foot, he can also distribute with both his feet and hands and clearly oozes confidence which has spread throughout the team. I am not really sure what more you want him to do, maybe do the samba or the Poznan? He is a huge upgrade and I love just how unflashy he is. Any young goalkeeper should watch him. He is top class.

cheers. i dont remember these at all. poor memory and all.

1 be available to recycle from the back
2 rush off his line if necessary
3 keep his concentration up even if he only faces one shot on goal all game
I'd say he's done pretty damn well with every one of those. Plus, his throws and kicks into our breaking speedsters yesterday were sublime. Fantastic accuracy and range.
that is true. good stuff.
i guess im just thinking about "the unknown" which i guess is him withstanding a barrage of shots on goal throughout the match but, like you said, thats probably not going to be a situation he finds himself in since what we've seen so far this season is likely going to be the environment he's in all year. and as we both said, he's done well.
Plain Speaking wrote:I thought he was tested last night and was excellent. I voted him MoTM. Great distribution, confident with the ball at his feet, quick off his line, commands his area plus quick reactions for diving saves. He gives our defence much more confidence. I loved Joe Hart but Ederson genuinely seems an upgrade in all departments.
thanks mate. i didnt really great to watch the majority of the match yesterday with it not being televised and being unable to use streams at work so i didnt know any of this, but none of it is really surprising given his form so far this season
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

From the OS:
John Stones has hailed the impact of Ederson since the goalkeeper's move from Benfica in the summer.
City have kept five clean sheets so far this season and the Brazilian hasn’t conceded a goal for over a month since Charlie Daniels' unstoppable opener in City’s 2-1 win away at Bournemouth.
Stones says that kind of solidity was one of the team's prime targets ahead of the new campaign and believes Ederson’s arrival has been vital in strengthening City's backline.
“It’s credit to him,” Stones said after City’s 2-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
“It’s not easy coming from another country. I wouldn’t know that but from speaking to the boys in the past who have come over to the Premier League, it’s a different culture, different language, and he’s settled quickly.
“He’s speaking to us on the pitch - he’s a vocal presence and a presence as a person, which is credit to him.”

This is how people know you're just provoking people on here and/or are a special kind of stupid.
How would you know what form he is in unless he has been tested? And if you know that he is in good form, why are you asking if he has been tested?
You are an absolute melt.

I concur fully with you there Sis'. This guy oozes confidence, class and all the components of a world class keeper and he's only 23. When Claudio the clown is in goal, the defence really goes to pieces. Watch the WBA cup game in the second half. Nuff said!

I'm quite impressed so far for all of the reasons mentioned.
He has all of the tools to become considered one of best keepers in the world.
phips, I'd send you a PM with info on a place you can watch full replays of games, but seems you have that feature turned off.

I've spoken my delight at Eddie several times since Pep's very fine capture.
Now that even the word of our very own resident kepper has been, so eloquently, spoken, I think we might well close the thread and enjoy the luxury of having such a key role, covered with a world class, for more than a decade, imho.
well, perhaps not... always worth to have a space where to sign the praise of a special lad, isn't it?

my awareness of the Club's "not existing" History is improving by the day, Mate.
but, not, among the many screws and fuckups by mr. Pete, that is one I didn't know.
still, my friend, I can tell You that my nick swoop has been carefully evaluated and proven righteous, if You think of that a man of immense qualities like Khaldoon took 4 years to realize and start fixing.
edit: also, on a personal note, if happened to have look on how pitiful my descent to baldiness looks, when I take to much to get to the barber... you might well wanna revise your ranking on hairstyle shames.

What's this strange, alien and obscure concept of a 'barber' all about ??
It sounds like a most painful, testing and unnecessary ordeal to have to undergo.
