24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2023/24

[supercity88]

You can see his class on the ball. Great vision, excellent passing and composure and physically strong. Needs to play at CB. I assume Pep is easing him in via the LB role but it is baffling he keeps using him there.

Pep must hate left backs.

I can't make any judgement on this lad while he's at full back. Just doesn't seem fair.

We don’t expect him to run and cross. We expect some defending. He should be ableist to do it.

He’s not that strong and his other attributes are nowhere near the level of laportes.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Young, good feet, not sure of his aerial ability yet, gets done by pacy wingers, but has a very good tackle in him.

I think his position is LCB, not LB, but we don’t seem to care about having a LB, so…

 

[eversince 76]

21. First season in PL. First season in a Pep-team. Seen it before. Nuff said.

 

[Akira]

He's 21 people. The only one younger than him in the first team is Rico Lewis I believe. He's playing in a side that's not exactly exuding confidence right now. The talent's there.

 

[01cravend]

He was alright yesterday(made 8 tackles) but his positioning and lack of recovery pace to make up for it is letting him down in that position.

I can't wrap my head around the fact we've paid 77mil for THE highest regarded young CB in football and Peps playing him exclusively at LB. This is so he can have Akanji play Stones role poorly game after game. It's bordering on infuriating. Like why didn't we buy someone like a Digne rather than ruin this lads potential..

Would like to see us play Stones from Rb as Walker is honking the place out atm. Move Gvardiol across and Ake LB. Might actually keep a clean sheet, remember those?

 

[Ric]

Easy to forget just how young he is, given his reputation and the fee paid. Widely regarded as the best young centre-half in the world, sop hopefully we'll see him playing there soon. Hopefully we'll sign a proper left-back soon, although we've been saying this for about a decade.
