Nice to see his family all visited the training ground picture with players and Pep. Scouting his younger brother already lol ;)

By waiting for a time when he's needed and playing well when said opportunity comes.

Pep loves to rotate. He'll get chances.

He hassn't rotated in the run in in previous seasons. Not when going for the title.

I was on about next season. I presume Dias will need time to get back to full fitness.

Ok. He will play him next season like you say he always rotates. Thought you meant this season.

A stallion of a defender.

Pings long balls, and his most prominent weakness is aerial duels, and while it was just Burnley, he won all 4 of them.

 

[JewelZee]

Mint!!!

 

[Nickyweaver01]

Feel safe with him on the pitch

 

[ninjamonkey]

Class. So much less risk involved in our game when he's last man. Ability on the ball has come on massively, becoming a great passer and is excellent at carrying the ball into space. Sky is the limit.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I do wonder if Dias will be “not ready” until this lad needs a rest or gets injured.

 

[madloaf]

Him driving into space stones-esque was a nice new little wrinkle to his game

 

[cleavers]

Outstanding tonight, and we didn't have to do much defending, but he did a whole lot more than that.

 

[Lost in space]

Slowly waltzing past them all
Faster than a cannonball
Champagne Khusanova leads our line

How did we find this absolute diamond? Another 10 years of him, lovely stuff. We’ve not lost a league game since Guehi signed. Could be the best partnership in the world pretty soon.

I love him but I think his positioning was a bit poor in the first half - his recovery pace masked it a bit. Second half he was better. Great player

 

[surprisedbygrass]

Fast becoming my favourite player . He is fearless , calm and is learning fast . Going to be a titan .

He is so young so naturally there are things he needs to improve. But what a player.

 

[oldius]

What he is doing is not normal. New league, new country, new teammates.
At 22, for a central defender, his ceiling is immense.

 

[Rolo]

That run he made through the middle first half made me laugh out loud. Shame he slipped as he was on a mad one.

What a player.
