24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2023/24

[JDV]

I think it was genuine and he’s not ready yet. It sounds like they’re trying to add it to his skillset with those drills.

Can you imagine this monster in midfield alongside Rodri

 

[WallyA]

Pep just recently said he cant do the Stones role, that he can tell in training.

He said even Stones couldnt do it, initially, its only possible after being around pep for 6 or so years and how his brain automatically understands the system so its easier for him.

So we wont see anybody excel like Stones for a while.

I think sometimes he is dramatic with his wording. Stones could have filled this role much earlier if it had been available.

Josko will definitely need more time though

i saw gvardiol trending on twitter and wondered why. apparently everyone now believes pep did a ten hag to sancho thing to gvardiol and that pep believes gvardiol doesn’t train well and is crap in general.

goldbridge didn’t miss the chance to troll



sam lee thinks pep was actually misquoted

He's seamlessly dropped into the defence of the best team in the land and all the world. At 21 years of age.

Seems to be totally under the radar of the English football press. I think he's fucking brilliant

 

[cleavers]

At 21 years of age.

I think our media think he's 28-30.

I wouldn’t spend too much time bothering with what he has to say.

We know what Pep said about Gvardiol not being ready for the Stones role as of yet.

It’s only ever been done by Stones and Akanji to any degree of success.

Klopp tried it with TAA, but he couldn’t do it either.

Gvardiol seems to have the footballing IQ to do it. It might just take some time and coaching.

Same last season with Walker. "He can't play this system" was quickly turned into "He's a shit player and not good enough."

This kid will be best Cb in world football in few years watch incredible footballer only 21 wow

Class act. Rarely caught out of position,always seems to have time on the ball,nice quick pass too. He’s fitted into City’s way of playing perhaps better than any of this summer’s newcomers IMO. Pretty versatile too,by the looks of it,could probably do CDM in time,with coaching of course.
