I was slightly worried about his pace (not as quick as I first thought he was supposed to be) after one of the games earlier in the season. But he looked rapid yesterday for a big fella. Could be a massive revelation for us with Walker's powers inevitably waning in the future. I think this left back role is spot on for him which he is an upgrade to the squad on Aymer, who Pep didn't seem to want playing in there.
 
I don't know if we really realize what a monster we have. I've never seen such a complete and strong defender at his age, never! Have you seen how strong he is in duels? And he doesn't even play in his natural position, although I have the impression that he could play in every position in the defense and midfield. He's also a monstrous header. He's quick (much quicker than Dias) and technically he's monstrous (and even better than Stones, who's a monster in this area). As he's very young and seems to have an easy-going character, Pep is going to make him his new Bernardo and play him in every position. For the time being, Pep can't play him as a central defender unless there's a spate of injuries. He'll spend most of the season as a full-back, which is the best possible news, because on this forum we've always quipped about the left-back position, which was supposed to be our only weakness, and now we're finally going to have a monster, even if Nathan Ake has done some great service there. Thanks to his speed, his excellent calls and splits, his technique and his vista, I can tell you that Grealish and Doku are going to have a great time.
 
Finished 25th in the Ballon d'Or contest. 2nd highest defender. There were only 3 nominated. Our Ruben finished 30th, Kim Min-jae 23rd. Well done!
 
In he first 10 minutes of the game yesterday, he made 3 big mistakes but thank God it didn't cost us.

It seems even WC players makes mistakes and not only Sergio Gomez.

Ruben finishing 30th is a fucking disgrace.

Gvardiol still seems a bit shy. Extremely happy with him so far, but I know there’s a couple levels higher for him to reach.
