24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2023/24

[nellyonthewing]

First half of the season, a lot of us said he was out of position as a left back.

Second half of the season, he's just unplayable for the opposition. One of the absolute highlights of the team in the run-in. Another absolutely elite performance.

I’ll put my hands up to that one…

I said it from the beginning. This guy is going to be a mega-star for us. Credit to @vanchi . Some said it's fun-girling. I say she called it. Josko is incredible. He genuinely makes us better than we were, and that's saying something, considering last season, we got our treble!

tbf a lot of ppl on here said he will come good. just needs a bit of time to adjust to our style/league.

Same here. And its not like we were wrong. He's just figured out the role, developed confidence and is now an absolute monster.

And he's twenty fucking two!

My girlfriend reckons he's a sexy bastard. On top of being a phenomenal footballer.

Some get all the fucking luck.

Chuckling at the replay of his second goal. He walks off after scoring so casually and coolly but then seemingly realises he wants to celebrate with the fans and sprints over. Haha.

 

[Lavinda Past]

This lad will be a City cult hero within two seasons. He's absolute top quality. Reminds me of Zabba.

 

[Bluemanc100]

I’ll put my hands up to that one…

And me… very happy to be proven wrong

 

[Beanhead]

Always knew he would come good… the class was always there to see.

 

[mccity]

I mean, he was the world's highest-rated defensive prospect for a reason. Only more to come

So so good on the ball, got that stones feel for me but undoubtedly a higher ceiling to come…

He’ll revert back to CB imo, so the goals may be defined by where he’s played, naturally, however, he’s going to be perfect for the hybrid defender into the middle, it’s a certainty for me….

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

So professional at the end giving up the penalty chance. He knows this is the serious end of the season and is fully in tune with what is needed. Been excellent in recent weeks.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I'm still not sure about him.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Feel stupid for ever doubting him. He's playing like a cross between John Stones and Bale.

I'd have picked Cruyff 'n van Basten!

 

[svennis pennis]

There is a young Maldini vibe about him. We’ve not had a ‘defender’ like this before.

That first goal was absolutely top class, unreal composure.

 

[super_city_si]

Gvardigoal. So humble too. what an absolute star this lad will be

 

[David White]

I’ve criticised him at left back. Not his fault as he does as he’s told, but he’s definitely got his head around it and has looked very comfortable there this last couple of months. I’ll happily admit I was hasty in doubting him.

 

[franksinatra]

I'm still not sure about him.

Not digging you out here as football is all about opinions but I think we have an absolute star on our hands. 22 years of age, first season in the Prem and he has been our best defender over the course of the season.

Comes across as so humble, what a role model for young players

 

[JewelZee]

He's the best LB on the planet at the moment?
