24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2024/25

To be fair the rest aren't in greatest of form either and his defensive weaknesses are highlighted more with the constant chopping of changing due to the injuries and Pep's demanding system.
 
Looks like a very good left back lack the physical presence to be a dominant CB. Maybe the reason Pep always used him as a left which begs the question why we never brought in another CB with Ake and Stones being injury prone.
 
Having a struggle same as everyone else right now but him and dias are being hung out to dry by our fullbacks and midfield. Constantly having to defend 2v2 or 3v2.

Our cb have no protection at all. Dias did well to foul Vlahovic as often as he did without a yellow. Impossible task to play cb for us even if he was in form.

Who should be our attacking defender then?

At least he contributes in the final third.

At this stage we should eye up on getting 1 point every game than worrying about the "attacking defender" .

If the game goes well then of course Josko is the best candidate to go forward as a wing back like Forest game.

Rico, just stay behind and learn to defend. Walker bye bye.

And Pep are still complaining why the CBs are dropping like leaves! It is the punishment of his silly reverted fullback to be 8 experiment. All the other defenders are drained by his reverted fullback and of course Walker.

Pep will always push a defender forward though. He's the best option attacking wise, and the further forward he is the better at the moment.

Another factor is age, he's 22 I think we all forget how young he is and as a result he will have dips of form.

He is one hell of a talent, an incredible footballer and could become a great if he keeps learning and working hard.

True. But right now he is making a goal causing error per game. When does is confidence get permanently crushed at this rate?
