To be fair, a lot of keepers do that rushing out thing and feck it up every once in a while. Hopefully he does it regularly.
Ederson Moraes
- Thread starter Manchester Dan
- Start date
He did an Almunia.
/* off to google where Almunia is these days.
edit: For anyone who cares. he retired 3 years ago when he found out he had a rare heart condition... and he is 40..

Claudio teaching him well. "the ball, ederson, you must avoid it at all costs"
The mistake on Lukaku's goal was dumb but I can't imagine he'll make that one all too often. I think how he handled Rashford was more of an issue. He let himself get caught in no man's land and didn't make himself big. He's still young though - turning 24 shortly - but hopefully he's not a fast learner.
He had a good game barring the Lukaku goal. Is it just me or does he look quite small?
Looks a good keeper (based entirely on one game). Already looks better than Calamity Bravo and Shouty Joe Hart. Hopefully the City goalkeeping coaches gets their hand on him.
He's going to make a few howlers this season in that typical sweeper keeper fashion but so far he's looked very solid. His positioning and timing has been spot on. Not seen to much of his shot stopping ability just yet.
He's an FM top quality player.
That's more or less what I know

I do wonder if, after yesterday, he'll hesitate to come out like that again.

Might be a case like Petr Cech who arguably was never the same after his head injuries.
Looks decent so far. We never really tested him properly yesterday but his distribution seemed better than Bravo's.
From what I seen of him he looks a very good buy, his instincts an speed are remarkable off the line. Don't think yesterday will bother him to much, I'm sure he's picked up a good few knocks, and it just looks superficial not like Cech's fractured skull.
He decided the game yesterday. Looks much better than Bravo.
Looks fantastic.
He looks bloody good and a massive upgrade on what they've had in recent seasons.
He looks hideous, his less than dashing looks compounded with awful and cheap looking tats. Decent keeper though.
He is better than Courtois.
Hasn't been tested but he's looking solid.
Gives their defence so much confidence.

Is Courtois even a thing anymore?
His goal kicks are ridiculous. I don't think any other keeper in the league is able to kick a ball as long as he is.
Worse tattoo than Sane.
He's very good with his feet and generally restarting attacks, has to be said.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.
We want Bravo back!
Very commanding display and sweeps up at the back very well, just what Pep likes.
Don't think so. He's a bit suspect when it comes to reaction saves from balls coming from the outside of the box.
Huge upgrade on what they had, he’s being protected from having much to do much like Valdes was at Barca though
He should let a goal in so he can be criticised as a waste of money but the stubborn swine refuses to oblige 
He will feck up a few times doing that sweeper thing, imo but is a big improvement over what they had last season there.
I really don't see how anyone can judge him yet. He's not been put under any pressure. It's only once he has that we'll get a true indication of his quality or mettle.
I'm sure he handled the ball outside the area at one point today.
That's the only reason we lost.

I actually think Ederson is better than I thought and I must say he looks better than Courtois. Even though Courtois has very good reflex but he is a bit clumsy sometime.
Impossible to say better than courtois. Having a great start though. Reckon hell be worth a few points for us on last season.
He might be incredible but feck, I'd have kept a clean sheet in goal for Man City today!
Was impressed from him the very beginning even during that Lukaku game and he's going from strength to strength at the moment. He's better than De Gea on the ball, very confident.
Still to be majorly tested but signs are he's the real deal.

Twice.
His distribution is incredible. Long passes in particular. Benfica scored a few goals thanks to him starting counters with his long kicks.
I can't think of a save he's had to make.
Saving what you're supposed to and not fecking up would stand out after everything City had to put up with.

Class keeper. Find him very very close to DDG overall. His footwork is exceptional. Nothing between him and Neuer with regard to that.
Courtois does not even come close. He is a decent stopper but the was Jesus made him change his game today shows how far behind he is when it comes it top keepers.

Just an Alexander Buttner wannabe.
