He's not known for his pace anyway. Vardy is only compounding that fact today.I don’t know whether it’s because he’s against Vardy, but Laporte looks shockingly slow.

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 don’t know whether it’s because he’s against Vardy, but Laporte looks shockingly slow.
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.It is said to be one of his weaknesses.
Not sure how that will work out in the PL, then again Citeh hardly do any defending as it is.
Just not in Dave's class though as an actual goalkeeper.Ederson is really good at reading the game, suits Pep style really well as keeper-sweeper.
Apparently his recovery pace is dust since he broke his leg.I don’t know whether it’s because he’s against Vardy, but Laporte looks shockingly slow.
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.Just not in Dave's class though as an actual goalkeeper.
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.Another CB who had the reputation of being better than what Utd have.

For a top club distribution and sweeping is just as important as shot stopping for a GK.Just not in Dave's class though as an actual goalkeeper.
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.That Silva chap for Leicester is off the pace a bit.
Or when people want us to sign Varane because Jones is a "sick note".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.
Hardly surprising, he's barely played since last May. He's the chap they signed 12 seconds after deadline & couldn't register.That Silva chap for Leicester is off the pace a bit.
Their shot stopping ability are equal, but Ederson is superior compared to DDG in other aspects of the game.Just not in Dave's class though as an actual goalkeeper.
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.Or when people want us to sign Varane because Jones is a "sick note".
I agree, of which Dave is pretty good at those as well.For a top club distribution and sweeping is just as important as shot stopping for a GK.
Their shot stopping quality are not equal, stop it.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.
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.Hardly surprising, he's barely played since last May. He's the chap they signed 12 seconds after deadline & couldn't register.

I don't think he was ever that fast. Mostly has great positioningApparently his recovery pace is dust since he broke his leg.
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.Their shot stopping ability are equal, but Ederson is superior compared to DDG in other aspects of the game.

bugger off.Their shot stopping ability are equal, but Ederson is superior compared to DDG in other aspects of the game.

It’s not even close.Their shot stopping ability are equal, but Ederson is superior compared to DDG in other aspects of the game.

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.i wonder how liverpool fans feel watching sterling. he is a very dangerous player
Really? The explenation at the start of the season was that it was too expensive. I agree it's not very interesting.Really? They give it away for free. That's how weak its appeal is.
Ridiculous.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.
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.Just not in Dave's class though as an actual goalkeeper.
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.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.
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.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.
Vardy with the winner in the 80th minuteSo what are your predictions, when will their winning goal come in the second half ?
