COMMENTARY
Now it is no secret that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is a big fan of goalkeepers who are good with their feet but Ederson will have had the manager’s heart in his mouth against Southampton on Sunday. He was as cool as ice on the south coast in possession, never looking like doing anything rash, reckless or needless despite coming under intense pressure from the Saints’ forwards. His performance has the City faithful in awe on Twitter and it is easy to understand why, for the Premier League has never seen a goalkeeper of his ilk. Not only is he outstanding with his feet but he is also a very confident shot stopper, pulling off some impressive saves and commanding his box with an assurance that breeds confidence from the back. There is no doubting that the likes of Sergio Aguero and David Silva are crucial to the City title push but there might be no one more important to their side than the Brazilian keeper – that is how influential he can be between the sticks.
This is Futbol has gathered a selection of the supporters’ tweets:
