24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2024/25

[normskih]

He fucked up a simple goal line clearance.

I like him but his defending the last two months....

It started going wrong for him in the FA Cup Final and I don’t think he has recovered from that, defensively, unfortunately.

Hmm, Josko..deary me, how bout some defence?!

In his 'defence' he's not a LB/LCB because postionally and one-on-on he's awful, he needs to be played centrally.

 

[RayCTID]

His defending isn't quite good enough to be move centrally. He is a very potent attacking threat and under normal circumstances his goal would have been enough to win the derby.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

I think he’s mentally our weakest player.

You can see his eyes go when something goes against us.

He was atrocious for their winner. What on earth is he playing at trying to back heel it off the line!? Fuck me!

 

[Bluesince1979]

Ive watched their winner a few times and still confused as to what gvardiol did!!

It looks like he could even have controlled it, stopped it, and took the ball away

Can’t believe we moved Laporte in to make room for Gvardiol.

Let’s not pretend Laporte didn’t have issues with concentration at times

Let’s not pretend Laporte wasn’t miles better than Gvardiol

Well he's been doing that for the past month and a half, either he's lost all confidence or he isn't the defender we all thought he was, I'm hoping it's just a confidence issue, at least he has an eye for goal which of course means he has to play every single game since every fucker on this team except Haaland can't hit a barn door.

He has to play because "the best defenders ever" Ake i Stones play one match every three months and get plaudits for that. Try be best ever when you play every three days. I don't think he lost his confidence, just needs a rest, this is too much football for anyone.

We clearly lack a goal threat when he's not playing as well, even with Stones and Ake fit he's going to play because he's our second best finisher right now.
