Manchester City fans have been slamming goalkeeper Ederson Moraes after their 3-2 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid yesterday. With most agreeing that the Brazilian did not provide any comfort.
City were held to a home draw in the first leg of the Champions League play-offs. Having made some great saves early on, but in the final moments of the game. With the score 2-1 up, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย they made a mistake in their cross. Which allowed former boy Brahim Diaz to level the score at 2-2.
Not only that, ‘Eddie’ also made a mistake and rushe out of the line when Vinicius Jr. broke away in injury time. So he was tricked and flick the ball up front for Jude Bellingham to follow. And poke the ball into the goal, causing the ‘Sky Blues’ to lose 2-3.
From the manager’s perspective, Josep Guardiola doesn’t blame the 31-year-old goalkeeper, saying they have to take collective responsibility.
“This is the fourth consecutive season that we have played against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium, and in the previous three we were better than them,” he said at a press conference.
“But last night, it was a close game, a crucial moment when they had their chances, Ederson is still our best player.”
“Sometimes the results of the game don’t favor the better team.”
It’s a different story with the ‘Cityzens’ fans who are completely slamming the Brazilian players.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Ederson doesn’t have any problems, but he has too many shortcomings,” one fan commented.
“He can make world-class saves, but his overall performance is terrible. I never feel comfortable when he is the last line of defense.”
Another fan added: “Ederson and Pep were the main villains of last night’s game.”
“The Champions League has slipped away from us.”
“Next up would be the FA Cup. If we end up facing Aston Villa or Newcastle next round – this season is over.”
Finally, one fan urged him to use Stefan Ortega Moreno regularly.
“Even God can make mistakes…but overall Ortega is better.”
“How many times has Ederson been inconsistent and we’ve lost, how many times has he made mistakes, how many times has he made bad decisions and in the end, he couldn’t control the situation?”
“I’m so distracted by Saudi Pro League that it’s been repeatedly flawed – I’m telling you!”
Sport Mail deducted Ederson 5- out of -10 points despite some fine saves from Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe, but it’s hard to deny the two late goals that cost him.
