He's not known for his pace anyway. Vardy is only compounding that fact today.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ederson is really good at reading the game, suits Pep style really well as keeper-sweeper.
Another CB who had the reputation of being better than what Utd have. See Keane, Maguire, Van Dyjk etc. Not so easy when you are watched closely.
I remember seeing a clip on here where he appeared from nowhere to clear a ball that looked a certain goal in a la liga game, that was before the injury. Now it seems he was having his neck saved by Yeray and Nunez at Bilbao since the injury, so it must have really slowed him down.
Just not in Dave's class though as an actual goalkeeper.
Apparently his recovery pace is dust since he broke his leg.
So Dragovic plays for Leicester, I remember when we used to be linked to him.
That Silva chap for Leicester is off the pace a bit.
To be fair as long as he’s decent in that regard I think he fits in there better than De Gea but not based on his actual goalkeeping skills. That’s one of the main weaknesses of Dave as well, he loves being on the line a bit too much.
Our players have bad reputations which overshadows their actual ability, people spent years laughing at Phil Jones now refuse to accept that he's become a cracking defender.
For a top club distribution and sweeping is just as important as shot stopping for a GK.
i wonder how liverpool fans feel watching sterling. he is a very dangerous player
He's the player who missed the transfer deadline by 13 secs in the summer. He didn't play for months. It will take a while for him to gain form. I wouldn't play him in games like this.
Or when people want us to sign Varane because Jones is a "sick note".
Looks like Peps campaign is working, this ref is giving them everything.
Hardly surprising, he's barely played since last May. He's the chap they signed 12 seconds after deadline & couldn't register.
Surprised D Silva isn't playing.
I’m still purplexed as to how the etihad constantly has blocks of empy seats all around the ground, even the lower sections and half way line. Just embarrassing really, a Premier league game against a decent side and they have so much empty seats.
I know this has been spoken about time and time again but is this basically rich arabs buying the seats and only going to big games so real City fans cant get the decent seats or just they don’t have enough fans in Manchester who want to go watch city at home?

Their shot stopping ability are equal, but Ederson is superior compared to DDG in other aspects of the game.
Not just a GK, but as an all-round footballer.
Indeed, 99% of the time defensive organisation is every bit as important as your defenders' individual talent too, you could stick a number of defenders in our team and they'd do themselves justice as our manager is capable of organising a defence.
I agree, of which Dave is pretty good at those as well.
Ederson is a good keeper, just not in Dave's all round ability level, but that is nothing to be ashamed of, as there are not too many that are.
Their shot stopping quality are not equal, stop it.
I know that. It's up to the manager to sort that out. He missed the summer transfer, not the winter registration. That ought to have been enough at this level.
ffsNo it's not.
I don't think he was ever that fast. Mostly has great positioning
Shot stopping the same?? Come on now, lets be fair here, Ederson is good, but overall, he is no where near as good as Dave.
bugger off.It’s not even close.
Well, obviously they didn't want him to go, but were massively paid for him, back when £50m got you more than just a John Stones, or 3rd rate striker.
Really? The explenation at the start of the season was that it was too expensive. I agree it's not very interesting.
Ridiculous.
DDG is by far the better shot stopper and overall GK, distribution and reading of the game is the only thing Ederson is better at
No-one is in DDG's class but Ederson is a very good shot stopper himself. He's made some crucial saves for City to win them points. If you take away those crucial stops you end up with Bravo from last season. He was also good with the ball at his feet but didn't make actual saves when the team needed.
So what are your predictions, when will their winning goal come in the second half ?
That’s just nonsense, no one comes close to dave when it comes to shot-stopping and actually caching the ball without giving away any chances for rebound opportunities.
One bad game against Spurs and his excellence over the season is cast aside. Amazes me that people think it would be easy to replace Smalling and Jones with significantly better players, teams throwing massive money around are finding it a struggle.
Vardy with the winner in the 80th minute
Edersons tattos annoy me
Laporte was bad for Vardy's goal.
Agüero looks so average these days. Sad stuff.
Also Gündogan has been complete trash every time I have seen him this season.
