Bernardo was right there (who also gave the ball away) and didn't bother running back.

Not….sure….if…..serious…..I thought he did fine tbh, improvement considering he didnt directlt cause any goals against.
Honestly, his positional play after he switched to centre half today was abysmal. Genuinely amazing how often the opposition is able to get in in front of him from simple long balls downfield. He’s been an accident waiting to happen for weeks. Inexplicable, cos he’s generally fairly comfortable in possession.

He looked like he had been on a bender last night. Needs dropping for a couple of games as soon as Stones or Dias are fit.

Gvardiol was the wrong side of the attacker, i'm not even sure he realised he was even there. Doesn't matter what went on beforehand, if he read the situation they wouldnt have scoredI have.
Its lazy to blame that on Gvardiol and not Walker.
Akanji is closest to the player, and then Walker pushes up suddenly away from him, the ball quickly goes behind and Gvardiol is somehow expected to react quick enough to cover.
Thats an error of the backline going from:
Walker -> Akanji -> Gvardiol in terms of blame.
Im not saying he played great, but its better than other games where he would directly cause the error for the goal.Not….sure….if…..serious…..

Most errors in our backline were Walker and Akanji, and them you can blame Gvardiol.
Speaking of, he started LB and then all of a sudde had to play LCB, and has played every game for us.
I take the positives wherever they come, he is being dealt a shit hand.
Akanji was there initially, he cant be wrong side of him.Gvardiol was the wrong side of the attacker, i'm not even sure he realised he was even there. Doesn't matter what went on beforehand, if he read the situation they wouldnt have scored
You should go further back in the clip instead of looking at the direct moment.
Ill never be convinced thats Gvardiols fault.

Hes so good to watch going forward.
One thing I don't get is why don't we adapt the formation to him the way we did with Cancelo? Shift the defense one slot over and play with no RB while he's too far up the field to defend? They seemed to have a field day going down the left side on the counter.
