‘Love our Eddie but…’ – Man City fans disagrees with Legendary keeper bold claim on why Ederson is superior to Liverpool keeper Alisson

Peter Schmeichel boldly claimed that he feels more assured watching Ederson in between the sticks over Liverpool’s Alisson Becker.

For Brazil boss Tite, it’s Alisson who is the number one between the sticks and he has donned the gloves for two of his nation’s World Cup games in Qatar.

On the Premier League stage, the duo have been outstanding and set the tone for the rest, especially with some of the title tussles their two sides have been involved in.

Whilst someone like Alisson is the best at one v one situations, not many, if anyone, can match his fellow countryman when it comes to distribution.

Either way, when Manchester United treble-winner Schmeichel was talking about the duo, this is what he had to say, as he told beIN SPORTS (03/12/22 at 9:05 pm).

“I like the way Ederson plays,” said Schmeichel. “I like his style. I like how good he is with his feet and people question him.

On if he would take Ederson over Alisson: “I like Ederson. I like the way he plays. When people say ‘yeah, he’s good with his feet’. He’s very, very good as a goalkeeper as well. He makes big saves. Crucial saves.

“He fits into that Manchester City team so well. Therefore, I can’t say I prefer one to the other because I don’t know how he (Ederson) would fit into the Brazil team. I think the goalkeeper that you pick for your team has to fit into the way you play.

“If you can point anything towards Alisson. Everything (he has) is the traditional goalkeeping saving. One v One. all of that. Coming for crosses, he’s very good. But there is always a mistake. It’s like he is overestimating the time on the ball he has. There is always something where you are a little bit worried. I never have that with the other one.”

These Peter Schmeichel’s comments shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.

“He’s not even saying 1 is better than the other
He’s spittin facts. Alisson is more error-prone with the ball at his feet than Ederson. Better overall of course.”

“What Alison and Eddy both have is the ability to not let any mistakes phase them. Other goalies make mistakes and let it throw them off their game, but Alison and Eddy just let it go and get back to work. It’s what makes them two of the best goalkeepers in the world”
