24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2023/24

[ID70]

Struggled again defensively, Olise skinned him more than once

 

[Haaland94]

His player ratings from the few sites I read were generally positive today (and they’re usually not). But he’s the social media whipping boy as usual.

Mostly, it's the same people shitting on him every week. Meanwhile, some of the other players can do no wrong in their eyes. He is still one of our better, most consistent players this season.

he was all alone on that left side most of the time today, what is he now, lb, lw? his position is 100% on pep. he’s not to blame for goals and yet he’s getting so much crap again for this game. there were 10 old players on that pitch, one new guy. let’s blame the new guy, i guess. i get heavy criticism for stupid, bad mistakes, but what that kid’s been getting is utterly irrational.

So Lewis is an old player now?

 

[WestGorton]

Not on him today. I thought he was decent.

So Lewis is an old player now?

old as in he’s been training and playing with the first team last season. and is an academy product. quite obvious imho.

Horse shit, Lewis is a kid just making his way in the game

Horse shit, Lewis is a kid just making his way in the game

it is not horse shit, it is literally a fact. i did watch city a lot even before gvardiol joined, i know he played.

plus everyone’s been saying how seamlessly hamilton adapted on wednesday because they’re used to city’s system in academy.

you can shout horse shit at me if you want, facts are not a matter of opinion, they’re just facts. pep keeps saying they don’t have time to work with new players, work on new stuff with old players. gvardiol said he hopes they’ll be able to work on his positioning in january. are they all liars? 3 new players have been playing without a pre-season with pep and with basic training only. more facts.

Yes, but he’s well liked by City Fans and gets a ton of praise. He has been in and around the team for a while a familiar face. He’s not old , as much he is a known quantity to City fans. You’re naturally going to give an academy kid more leeway.

I think what the original poster is saying, is Gvardiol often is criticized more harshly than the players that are more familiar to fans. Even when those players that have been here have had worse games.

Being 19 yrs old and taking part in 22 games is a fact, and that doesn’t make him old for fuck sake

i didn’t write he’s a 50 yo with back problems, receding hairline and a lifetime of regrets, but suit yourself dude. i even specified what i meant. sapienti sat.
