He'll take it anywhere.
He'll play short.
He'll play long with quality as well.
Thierry talked about a point during the game that he plays higher.
The City have a slightly different defensive philosophy than Burnley do and rely on Edison to cover the centre-backs.
Unsurprising.
But I think the biggest thing for me is his actual goalkeeping work.
He's making saves, he's cross-taking right at the top end.
So to have all three of those sort of components has made him really, really good this season.
I think so.
I think the manager alluded to it just then in his interview.
That mentality, that last-ditch tackle, staying with the runner, header, tackling it.
We talk about that final pass or whatever it is from City, but on the defensive side of it, we still try and make it awkward and really stay in there.
Even if you think he's looking like he's going to score, that last little bit, that last yard might just be enough.
And today, I know we rode our luck at times, but there was still a lot of good defensive mindset and mentality like the manager alluded to.
I mean, in fairness to the manager, he keeps things very simple.
Defensively, everyone understands the role.
It's clear ideas.
There's a lot of clarity about what we want to achieve.
But it's not every day that shape, shape getting drilled in.
