To be honest he's prone to sweeping even when its not needed. Laporte having to roll the ball all to the sideline because Eddie came charging out to sweep up Laporte and the ball for no reason was comical if it didn't nearly see us throw the title away.

haha so true. If he was playing with united defence in front of him, im pretty sure he will concede 3 x more goals than DDG
perhaps he need a master class training from DDG in shot stopping and he can teach DDG how to sweep and have better distribution.
I know he's not a typical keeper and has some drawbacks, but seeing a keeper pinging a scholes-like ball (even further) to an attacker in space so often is a thing of beauty.
What City require from their goalkeeper simply has less to do with shot-stopping than it does at other clubs, because their goalkeeper faces far fewer shots. Horses for courses.
I mean it's easy to say "if he wasn't at a side as dominant" but he is at that dominant side and his skillset is part of what makes them so. The fact that he'd let in more goals at a weaker side he was less suited to is hardly relevant, as you're supposed to have players who suit your team's specific needs. He'd do worse in lesser teams just as most of the goalkeepers who stand out at lesser teams would do worse at City. It is what it is.
Alisson is indeed obviously the better goalkeeper though.

Reminds me of the criticisms people used to level at Valdez for similar reasons. There are far less keepers who can function as a proper player like Ederson or Valdez than those who can block shots all day, and for teams like City and Barcelona the former is far more important than the latter.
Alisson is much, much better and Ederson won’t get a sniff at the World Cup.
For all the supposedly modern keeping skills he has, I find his constant need to run forward absolutely pointless and backfiring. Many of the goals he concedes can be saved if he stays around his line, including those from the West Ham game.
Have a feeling Bazunu will oust him in a year or two. He is excellent on the ball but is also very much a keeper who can do everything a keeper is supposed to do on top of that.
Really? Very surprised to hear this, Alisson for me in the best keeper in the world!

Feels like he's been taken off due to collisions with players several times this season.
Apparently he's dragging his feet signing a new deal with City, with Saudi offering him likely 3 times what he can earn at City. I know a lot of people here don't rate him as a GK but his distribution and footwork is the best I've seen from a keeper. Pretty instrumental in the way City play. Go get that Saudi money Edi.
