100-up for Ed is why Guardiola values his No1

EVEN some of Ederson’s biggest critics would have been hard-pressed to begrudge City’s first-choice goalkeeper after Saturday’s victory over Newcastle United.

100-up for Ed is why Guardiola values his No1

His clean sheet in the 2-0 victory marked his 100th in 208 Premier League matches. It is a remarkable achievement for a man who plays in perhaps one of the trickiest roles in a Pep Guardiola team. 

While in most teams a goalkeeper’s main priority is to keep the ball out of the net, that is not the sole responsibility of a Guardiola goalie. City’s attacks start from the back and Ederson has as big a role in that as anyone.

This is why City’s boss demands that his goalkeeper can be good with his feet. Joe Hart performed admirably during his time in Eastlands but that facet of his game would be his undoing.
