Micah Richards has admitted he has not witnessed a goalkeeper in the Premier League era comparable to Manchester City star Ederson Moraes.
The pundit recently expressed his thoughts on The Rest Is Football podcast that, praising Ederson's exceptional distribution skills, and highlighting the confidence displayed by home fans at the Etihad Stadium when he takes calculated risks with the ball.
Garth Crooks also praised Ederson's performance in Manchester City's 1-1 draw against Liverpool, stating that he has elevated the standards of goalkeeping in recent years.
Zack Steffen, who has trained with Ederson at City, acknowledged the Brazilian international's "unbelievable technique." Even Sam Allardyce went so far as to declare Ederson as "Man City's best long passer."
In summary, Micah Richards acknowledged that, in his view, Ederson stands out as a unique goalkeeper in the history of the Premier League.
“Ederson’s composure on the ball is like nothing I’ve ever seen in the Premier League. It’s just amazing to watch. And you know what’s strange about the whole thing now?”, he said, via Manchester City News.
“Normally, when it goes back to the ‘keeper, the crowd are like, ‘Kick it long and what not.’ When the ball goes back to Ederson now and you can hear it at the game, the crowd’s just really calm like, ‘Okay, he knows what he’s doing. We know how they’re playing. He’s going to get us out of danger," the pundit added.
