24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2023/24

He's been freely unmarked around the opposition box all the time. I guess Pep has drilled him to shoot more with his right foot if the chance comes.

Not only has he had to get used to a new team and to Pep’s style and tactics, he has come in to a new position - as far as he know he has always played CB before? Incredible player

The kid’s some player.

That fantastic goal in the bernabeu gave him the confidence. Hope he continue scoring more important goals.

Justifying the outlay now and only 22 years old.
Can see him scoring a lot of goals as well from that left back position. The way we set up and retain possession often leaves him free on the edge of the box.

Immense since returning to the starting XI.

Probably put in the training effort with that right foot. Seemed to look alot more comfortable in the side, especially moving into the final third.

 

[come-on-barney]

Class act, going to be one of our best signings for years.

Unpopular opinion, I mentioned it back in November: I don’t wanna see him transition to centre half or the centre half/central mid. Just happy for him to do his own thing in that left back slot and become the best in the world at that (whatever it is)

Umm Josko will still get plenty of shots if he plays central. But he is not very comfortable to defend against pacy right wingers coming down this side. Plus a traditional left back will offer overlapping and deep crossing along left pitch edge which currently none of the squad can do. I can still see a left back outside Josko to maximize both strength.

Fair enough… like i said, unpopular

 

[Goldust]

Unbelievable player and looks like a good egg as well.
