Not for me. No one was mentioning the “one shot one goal” usual comment for Ederson when Ortega conceded last night.
He had a great game, but Ederson is miles better on the ball and that’s integral to the way we play.

Decent back up keeper but shouldn't displace Eddy once he gets his fitness back. I've confidence in both

I'd say we currently have the best first and second choice keepers. Ortega is a better shot stopper but his delay in and overall distribution is not at Ed's level - which can be said of anyone out there to be fair. Can see us losing Ortega soon he is too good a keeper to be 2nd choice but Ed comes straight back in whwn he's fit

I think he is super reliable and that is very rare in this game.
Can't say we are missing Ed with him in goal.

Hopefully he signs an extension because, imho, he is a top 6 gk. And not as a back-up.

Missed Ed big time on Sunday in my opinion as he was so painfully slow with his distribution and when we're playing a team who defended as well as Arsenal did that could have made all the difference.

A quality goalkeeper and as a second choice is a rare breed, in that if called upon to be number one for whatever reason, you barely miss the first choice

Let’s not forget big Ed’s massive contribution in the Champions League final.

He’s made some cracking saves this season as well. People seem to have a hard on for him not saving every single shot that’s thrown at him. He’s class

You can't find in today's football what Ed brings. I was looking at Onana last night. Row Z merchant.
After him our game will be quite different.

I am very happy we have got two excellent keepers, with very little drop off when Eddie is not available.

Sign a deal, Stefan. It doesn’t get any better than this.

Top class keeper

Ederson is world class if not the best in the world

Here's hoping that we have the younger keepers being schooled in Ed^s ways

Looks like he will be gone in the summer. Can't blame him, he is way too good to be a 'decent backup'.
Well definitely need to look at our keepers this summer, is Carson good enough to be our no 3. We might need 2.

Absolutely outstanding. Not as good as Ed with his feet but no slouch. The rest of their game not much between them but I'd have more faith in Ortega in a penalty shootout.

Extending his contract should be an absolute must this summer.

I think giving him more game time will make Eddie better.

Seen so many giving Son shit for a Miss.

It wasn't a miss ffs.

That was an exceptional save,,one of the best you will ever see.

Right Leg fully extended outwards to stop Son tucking it in the bottom corner.Rightly getting all the plaudits..

Quite possibly it will be remembered as a season defining save.
