We can, but probably shouldn’t. Gvardiol badly needs a rest and Ake being injured has stopped this.We can have Nathan and Josko in the same team, and we should.
Manu-Ruben-Josko-Nathan. John can rotate as well or play DM. Hell, even Josko could potentially play DM.
We need to fight for a top 4 position. That is the reality.Since we're still losing game after game and we've said goodbye to the Premier League,
We badly need a win - any win - for me that means the best available XI against Forest and currently that includes Ake. Perhaps we should try Gvardiol further forward, at least he's not afraid to shoot.He will be back against Forrest, we need to be careful with Ake and the minutes he plays.
Hopefully a game out of the firing line will give the big man a reenergize him a little.
Ake at CB, Gvardiol at Lb. Two left footers in a natural position.We badly need a win - any win - for me that means the best available XI against Forest and currently that includes Ake. Perhaps we should try Gvardiol further forward, at least he's not afraid to shoot.
Gvardiol isn'a a natural LB, Ake is much better defensively at LB than Gvardiol but Gvardiol much better offensively, Ake at LB and Gvardiol at CB is the best compromise.Ake at CB, Gvardiol at Lb. Two left footers in a natural position.
And Gvardiol able to get forward from CB means Akanji, Dias and Ake can narrow to a back three. Basically the Treble defence but Gvardiol playing the Stones role. Ideally Stones would play the Stones role but, well.....Gvardiol isn'a a natural LB, Ake is much better defensively at LB than Gvardiol but Gvardiol much better offensively, Ake at LB and Gvardiol at CB is the best compromise.
Gvardiol isn't a natural LB but he's played a lot there, so has Ake admittedly. Pep seems allergic to Gvardiol at CB so surely it's just the most natural plan.Gvardiol isn'a a natural LB, Ake is much better defensively at LB than Gvardiol but Gvardiol much better offensively, Ake at LB and Gvardiol at CB is the best compromise.
