24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2023/24

[TrentGrisham]

I don't think he was bad but he wasn't great. I thought he had a bit more pace to him but Dias isn't exactly a burner either. Early days.

 

[Innsbruckblue]

Ake lost his man, not Gvardiol

Watch it again

 

[DATOIA]

He somehow reminds me of Corluka :D

 

[Gigant]

 

[mosssideblue]

Thought he started slowly and grew into the game. Very early doors for him here, but signs look excellent.

Anyone criticising him on his first full game, give your heads a wobble

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Watch it again

Ake let him get the wrong side and Gvardiol didn't close tha gap quick enough.

It was good centre-forward play.

pep said very little training has taken place
everyone was poor start of second half

 

[Gabriel]

Tired toward the end and took a nasty knock, but his passing in the first half was particularly impressive, especially when he pinged them forward. Going to be a hugely important signing.

 

[skillman]

His distribution is fantastic. So comfortable and effective.

It was good centre-forward play.

Gvardiol was the closest defender. Didn’t even attempt to jump, just tried to shove the attacker

 

[city warrior]

His passing and dribbling is so good for a defender. He didn't have a good game defending, but honestly Akanji, Ake and Walker were even worse. Overall very poor defending tonight from our team

 

[Manc123]

His passing and dribbling is so good for a defender. He didn't have a good game defending, but honestly Akanji, Ake and Walker were even worse. Overall very poor defending tonight from our team

its his first full game i think the whole defensive unit wasnt right tonight except eddie... get ruben and stone in for akanji and ake at weekend and well be fine.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The most nailed on thing ever that he’ll be playing in midfield in time, in the hybrid CB/DM role, once he gets used to the way we play.

He was totally good, the others were bad. He's going to be a starter next to Dias and Stones, he's already fitting into the team excellently, you can see that

 

[RayCTID]

First game vs another tricky team. Not brilliant but a few decent touches.

 

[ford7]

He's gonna be great.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Needs to learn body shape and positioning. His quality on the ball is evident, but his dual management needs a bit of work, which is natural at 21.

 

[Crooked_rain]

The lad has barely had time to train with us

Once he trains more with the team, works with Pep and finds his feet here then we will see what he's all about.

Thought he did fine, all things considered.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

The most nailed on thing ever that he’ll be playing in midfield in time, in the hybrid CB/DM role, once he gets used to the way we play.

If he can do the Rodri/Stones role and grow into being a Pep centre back, he’ll look an absolute bargain.

 

[BeerIsTheBest]

Took a hefty whack and he was trying to stretch the damaged ankle out just before the presentation. Hope he’s ok as we need everyone this weekend. Thought he did well.
