He’s not a 6. However much you play him there, he won’t become a 6.
he was not brought in to replace gundo, his transfer was arranged in february/march and he was the first signing of that window.Inter, Madrid & Chelsea all got rid. He's so one sided it hurts, he constantly takes the ball to his left or turns in circles with the ball whilst looking jittery. Always looks like he's going to lose possession.
Was brought in to replace Gundogan & we've now ended up with both of them being crap.
I think Kova is just a scapegoat. He is better than everyone else who plays CM for us.
He’s a ball carrying 8. One that dribbles the ball through the lines and draws the team up the pitch.What is he so? Because he doesn’t have any track records of goals and assists on par with what’s expected out of our players.
He’s made a career out of Modric making him look good. Or Rodri. When asked to do anything himself, dogshit.

He still does that as a 6, but if his dribble or pass isn’t successful then he’s too far up the pitch with no one covering, which exposes the defence.
I answered your question.Mate 90% of the time we’re playing against parked buses waiting to counter and he’s passing it backwards. He’s nowhere near our level regardless of whether you want to say he’s a 6 or an 8.
We’ve gone from yaya Toure and David Silva to this clown.
so much vitriol, your posts about kova are filler with pure hatred, seek help dude, you’ll give yourself an aneurysm.What is he so? Because he doesn’t have any track records of goals and assists on par with what’s expected out of our players.

He’s useful against low blocks as he dribbles between the lines.
He’s not useful as a 6 against any formation or tactic.

just in general, players get so much shit when it’s the club’s poor planning and complacency that made you have to suffer through watching kova play as a 6 for man city in 2025. and add to that other players playing in weird positions.
He’s not played as an 8 since Rodri got injured.Define useful. Because our productivity is massively down and we’ve seen multiple attackers struggle when he plays.
No coincidence that stones played yesterday and suddenly Bernardo looks better, Haaland looks better, KDB looks better and even Jack looked better.
The guy can’t move. He’s spineless in attack and off the ball makes it so simple for opponents to ignore him and double someone else.
I genuinely think he’s the worst established midfielder we’ve brought in since the takeover.

Not really sure what you are disagreeing with me over?
I think we’ve worked out you think that way!Irrelevant whether you say he’s a 6 or an 8. He’s not good enough a player to be in this team.
He does trust o Reilly!As much criticism as Lewis got (And I gave him some too), Kova was definitely worse and more at fault for the loss tbh.
Its a shame Nico O Reilly isnt trusted.
Also, I dont know if this is true, but it seems nearly everh game Pep subs a new CDM in (Kova or Gundo), the sub CDM almost always drops a shocker, usually the starting CDM plays way better.
Has anybody else noticed this?
Im wondering how Pep hasnt.
Name a better CM this seasonYou’re so wrong it’s not funny.
John Stones is better and he’s a centre half. CM Bernardo is better. I stress CM not dm Bernardo has run himself into ground in middle of the park and has made fewer errors than many others who have been asked to play there. Kovacic warmed Chelsea’s bench for a reason.Name a better CM this season
You are wrong. Neither has been better as a CMJohn Stones is better and he’s a centre half. CM Bernardo is better. I stress CM not dm Bernardo has run himself into ground in middle of the park and has made fewer errors than many others who have been asked to play there. Kovacic warmed Chelsea’s bench for a reason.
defend? i would not have him play as a 6 for man city. he’s not a 6. did i say he had a stellar cameo yesterday or something? :DIt’s a forum for discussion and you don’t do it much aside from defend this particular player.
Oh okay. Forgot you were the judge of all things football.You are wrong. Neither has been better as a CM
