The crossfield pass in the last 10 mins was a shocker which could have led to a goal for them. (Ortega saved it) - he needs to cut that out.

I don't quite understand why everyone asks him to be played in the middle after his best performance at LB vs one of the best sides in Europe. If anything, Pep is starting to get what he wanted from him now.
Probably had his best performance in a City shirt to date, will be an excellent signing.Magnificent performance, incredible ability on the ball and for a young guy incredible football knowledge.
He will be one of our great signings in time.
He's been superb from day one.Probably had his best performance in a City shirt to date, will be an excellent signing.
People seems to forget he's only 22, incredible the way he has settled and the number of games he's played.
Compare that to the likes of Grealish and Phillips and the time and excuses they were given in settling in or not in Phillips case.
Yet people slag off Gvardiol, weird people on here at times.
Exactly. New league, new country, just turned 22, no pre-season. Brilliant from day 1. Incredible yesterday.He's been superb from day one.

His first touch to control a football is incredible. Outstanding yesterday.
I really rate this guy however he really can be careless with his passing and on 2/3 occasions yesterday he gave the ball away which lead to dangerous breaks for Arsenal….I’m sure Pep will sort this out….fantastic potential and could eventually see him taking on the Stones role.
Heres the thing.
Was he good yesterday, yes!
Was his passing and control good, yes!
Is he really a threat out wide... I dont think so.
He is simply too slow, and lacks the crossing technique for it.
Its not really his fault though, he will never be a world class LB due to this though.
If he was a LB like last seasons, half LB/CB then he can be world class with his passing from deep and on the ball ability.

I think its temporary and out of necessity as he is the only option.He will play CB he is learning his trade at LB under Pep
But I think Id rather Rodri play CB and continie last seasons CB into midfield role more.
But Pep doesnt want to make Rodri do that.
I hope Gvardiol can learn it because that unlocks the ultimate potential of the team.
Akanji cant quite do it.
Gvardiol does suffer from lapses in concentration along with occasional sloppy passing which is at the minute is still not ideal to be played centrally in Pep's set up. Give it a year then he would probably trusted more to play as a centre back.
