Personally, I feel he is a better shot stopper than Eddie but his footwork still needs working upon and our playing style is heavily reliant on playing out from the back so it's 50-50 for me.
What do others think?

No and it’s more like 75/25
nah eddie all day in my opinion
Too slow to get us out from the back, inviting unnecessary pressure and mistakes
No
No, good distribution is more valuable to us than good shot stopping
no
How bad was Reyes though, his long balls were absolutely shit.
Nope. Eddie essentially serves as an additional outfield player and is key to how we play. I also don’t think there’s that much of a difference between them in terms of shot stopping – Eddie sometimes makes errors but it’s kinda a vice you accept as a result of your goalkeeper often acting as a centre-back.
Ortega is a fantastic keeper though, fully adore him as a second choice.
I feel he commands his area better… I feel more comfortable with him during 1v1’s, corners, and being a better judge of coming off his line, but I much prefer Edersons distribution.
Stefan is great, but would prefer eddie
We have bigger problems than debating Ederson’s position. Eddy is the least of our problems right now
Ederson is well experienced for City. Seeing todays match, Ortega was kinda slow & looked confused during the goal kicks. Ederson would have done much better and faster.
As a normal GK for most teams he’s an easy pick, but because it’s pep and he needs everyone to do things a certain way nope.
No
There’s a possibility, but I don’t think he will.
It’s wild to think that we have Edersons elite distribution and Ortegas great shot stopping mixed into 1 keeper in Scott Carson and he’s not playing, is Pep stupid?!!
NO
Ortega is class. Ederson is ICE COLD. Ederson any given day. His expressionless face and composure is priceless lol.
no
No but I’d like to see him play more
If a game *SPECIFICALLY* calls for a better shot-stopper, I would consider starting Ortega.
Fuck me state of this sub sometimes
Bring back his adult braces and Ederson will return to his Elite level
Ederson is way better but ortega is clear of that crappy Zack Steffen
I’m with you. He doesn’t provide the same kind of build up threat. He’s no slouch and probably second best keeper with his feet in the league (think he’s better than Allison) but Eddie has some much more range and deception.
Also think He’s pushed Eddie to be a much better shot stopper, so I lean Eddie
Dumbest post I’ve seen, and I’m a Pool supporter
Nope.
A better shot stopper? Did you watch the champions league final FFS? Ederson is so insanely disrespected by everyone. He literally won us the champions league and you’re trying to say Ortega could take his position. Like seriously fuck off
No
Ederson is a very good shot stopper but he is FAR better with the ball at his feet. If city expect to play out of the back regularly and or pass back to the keeper vs high press regularly then ederson certainly brings more to the table.
Yes
The reason Ederson got the job is *because* of his footwork. He is not losing the job to someone with worse footwork than him. Besides, Ederson is a solid keeper between the sticks. Not worth the headache
No, not even close.
I like Ortega, but the distribution is noticeably worse, he lacks the composure that Ederson has, and there’s this weird myth that he’s lightyears ahead as a shot stopper which is untrue.
Hes a great GK and should probably be starting somewhere. It’s just the starter we have is better.
