Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster says he "feels sorry" for Arsenal counterpart Petr Cech over his recent errors when playing out from the back.
Cech has made several slips, including almost passing into his own net in his side's opener against Manchester city
On Sunday, the 36-year-old was let off when he passed straight to Harry Arter but the cardiff midfielder shot over.
"Cech is one of the best goalkeepers the Premier League has seen but that really is not his game," Foster said.
Cech said after the Manchester City game that he was comfortable with his ability when it comes to helping the team build from the back - a preference of new manager Unai Emery.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live's Monday Night Club, former England goalkeeper Foster said: "He has spent his whole career playing one style of football and now, at the end of his career, he's being asked to play another one altogether.
"His strong points have always been being big and commanding and making saves, but the way football is going now you almost have to be one of those Ederson-type of goalkeepers."
Foster, 35, said some of what Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson does with the ball is "next level" but added: "For a lot of goalies it really isn't an easy thing to do".
Referring to Cech, he added: "It's going to take some time to get used to and I do feel sorry for him."
