After five seasons at the club, it appeared like everything about Ederson had already been apparent.
The Brazilian goalkeeper has shown himself on a weekly basis to be fit enough to play despite any knocks, good enough with his feet to transform not only Pep Guardiola's team but the way goalkeepers are analysed in the Premier League, and also mortal enough in his shot-stopping that attacking players know if they get a sight of him they have a decent chance of scoring. The good has outweighed the bad to the tune of four league titles in five years and three successive Golden Glove awards for Ederson boasting more clean sheets than any of his rivals.
That does not make him immune from criticism though, and City's frustrating habit of conceding from their first shot on target in games this season has strengthened the argument for a sizable, vocal number of supporters online that improvement is needed. Despite the clamour for No.2 Stefan Ortega to get a chance, Guardiola recently outlined why he has 'no doubts' over Ederson.
