Tough times for Ederson. The Brazilian shot-stopper for Fenerbahçe is facing heavy criticism after two disastrous performances in a row.

First, a costly blunder against Çaykur Rizespor. Then, a completely missed game against Galatasaray, in a decisive derby for the title. In that match, Ederson lost his composure. Overly nervous, he picked up two yellow cards for dissent. The second came after he refused to properly position himself on the line for a penalty. The result: sent off and his team left in trouble. Down to 10 men, Fenerbahçe suffered a heavy defeat (0-3).

Arriving with a big reputation after his spell at Manchester City, the Brazilian is going through a rough patch. His experience was not enough to prevent these costly errors, and his team is paying the price. With just three matches left, Fenerbahçe sees the title slipping away… and Ederson will have to bounce back quickly.
