I was just going to post something similar.

He can be almost flawless in games... and then these random WTF moments happen. It's something that he needs to eradicate from his game.

 

[DTKOAG]

A very poor 2nd half and fortunate not to concede with his errors

 

[Chak19]

Wonderful passer and another assist for Haaland but he has a brainfart almost every game, thought he'll take that out of his game at CB but it's still there.

 

[Middedon]

I’m often think he is more harshly criticized for his errors than other players. Was today an error? Yes. But I don’t think it was a result of him being stupid or not thinking or lazy as has been suggested. He manages to win the ball, even though he gets shoulder checked, and the ball goes off the wrong way. Headers like that aren’t always predictable. Happens all the time to our midfielders but no one calls them stupid!

 

[Chak19]

Looking at it again, it's more of a foul than a brainfart really, so apologies to Josko.

 

[samuelyeboah]

the thing that really grinded my gears was not the almost costly mistake, is that 10 seconds after donnarumma's save he AGAIN lost the ball by losing a 50/50 through purely not being strong enough on the tackle

 

[merz]

he unlocked two games in a row now with his passing. I'd give him a 10y contract. still only 23 and already the best ball playing cb in world football.

 

[oldius]

We are much more solid with Josko in the LCB position.
The fact that he is such a fantastic footballer is a great bonus.
A world-class player.

 

[Saddleworth2]

We have been crying out for someone to play these kind of balls to Haaland, over the defence but into space so he can run onto it. Step forward Josko. My only criticism is that we only try that once a game rather than a number of times. Two assists in two games though and he clearly has that in his locker now.

 

[MCFC1993]

Struggled at left back 2nd half, kept giving the ball away and Pep was frustrated with him. Miles better at centre back.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I thought he played well, personally. Pepe is a tough matchup, and he definitely got the better of him.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He just can’t seem to shake off the brain-farts. Almost every game, there seems to be at least one WTF incident with him. I don’t know how he can be that good and also be that stupid in certain moments.

 

[alexmcity]

Josko will be a beast this season. He was overplayed last season and will need more time to hit form.

Don't think that was his fault, had no options. He had a very good game imo, he hasnt played there for us in about 4 months.

 

[WallyA]

Prefer him LCB only.

Hopefully we can just play RAN and O Reilly at LB.

 

[MCFC1993]

Could have been a lack of options, noticed Pep was frustrated with him though which suggested he could have chosen better.

Gave the ball away all night, one of the worst games he's had for us.

 

[jollylescott]

That's why O'Reilly must be our preferred option at LB. He simply doesn't make the errors that we saw today from Gvardiol.

 

[Stelea]

Left CB v Villa please. Poor last night at LB
