Ok and he's still managed to be one of our most impactful players this season. We'd be midtable if it weren't for the goals he's scored. Just seems a weird player to pick out considering how poor half the squad have been.
He is a defender first and foremost and needs to do it better! He has been woeful defensively this season.
 
He is an absolutely shite defender.
He is not a shite defender at all. What is happening is that he is getting exposed as he is expected to make chances in the box and then next minute get back and defend

The pattern of play is that Josko is in tandem with Savinho, until Savinho switches sides. Then he is own his own as Omar was much further infield.

Same thing happens when Foden plays on that side

Josko is asked to get forward and then the opposition just hit a long ball to where his natural position is. With Rodri there he would provide the cover

The problem is the midfield which is patently slow and gives no protection to the defence and creates no chances for the attack

He is too slow too. He is looks like he is running in treacle at times.
 
Like at Villa 6 weeks ago, he made a major mistake with his 1st touch within a minute and set the tone.
How the fuck much did we pay for him!
 
Who the fuck in our back line hasn't?!
this guy hates joško since he signed for city and will never change. it’s hilarious to read posts by gvardiol haters when they talk about their favorites when they make mistakes or ghost. hypocrisy and vitriol.
 
Simply not true. As you may recall, he's made multiple goal saving recovery blocks/ tackles this season. He has more than adequate pace. Been clocked at almost 34km, Haaland is in the 35-36km range for comparison.
Well he lets the attacker get the run on his too often. I think defensively he has been absolutely shite this season. Attacking wise ok but defensively absolutely not ok.
