Manchester City's big summer signing needs some help from Pep Guardiola.
Is Pep Guardiola the only manager on planet earth who would get a brand new £77.6m centre-back and play him at left-back? Very possibly.
But just as the Blues boss would never dream of actually starting Ederson alongside Rodri in the middle, sometimes players should just be selected in their natural position. Of course, Guardiola had made a habit of playing centre-backs on the flank in 2023. Stones, Ake and Akanji were all sublime last season and were integral to the club's success on three different fronts. They were so good that Kyle Walker - who has played every Premier and Champions League minute this season - hardly got a look-in.
