    I just can’t put Ederson as #1. I’m probably wrong. But I feel like he puts his team in way too much danger. He loves waitinf for the last tenth of second to pass the ball.

    He waits for the striker to press, and passes the ball at the very last moment. And as a result, the pass is not as good as it could be, and the rest of the team is pressing the defenders who have a tough first touch to make. If it wasn’t City and the defenders weren’t so good technically, it would be a disaster.
    I just don’t like that. Puts his team in way too much danger.

    I’d have Ter Stegen in the top, definitely. Very high too.

      I believe this is more Pep’s instructions, which I agree is too risky.

      Can’t take away his crucial moments though, but yeah, overall there are many better keepers than him in shot stopping, but not on his ball playing technique.

      Would’ve ranked Alisson better if Liverpool did better overall, and Thibaut Courtois maybe would be there if not for the injury.

      Respecting your views and choices ✌🏻

    Onana, Pope, sommer ahead of Ter Stagen. Truly clueless

      Andre Onana, most clean sheets in UCL last season, was absolutely a wall for Inter, would’ve ranked him even higher had he lived to the expectations at Manchester United.

      Nick Pope, top 2 clean sheets in Premier League, 2nd least goals conceded after Ederson, and a main reason why Newcastle finished 4th last season.

      Yann Sommer, performed decently for Bayern, then became the wall for Inter after Onana’s departure, and a main reason why Inter is looking absolutely solid at the back now.

      Ter Stegen was a crucial factor to why Barcelona won La Liga but couldn’t replicate these performances consistently and against tough opponents, so that’s why I ranked him lower than those, some would argue he might be ahead of Onana which would be also logical.

        Ter Stagen had the most clean sheets in Europe.

          Yet, eliminated in UEL and Copa del Rey, and hardly the unique significance compared to whoever above him, still giving him credit for La Liga (which he won times before) and that’s why he’s in the list.

        This year? No chance. I’m not even a Liverpool fan but Alisson literally kept Liverpool in games singlehandedly last season and that’s not an exaggeration. Courtois also tore his acl
