24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2024/25

[applejuice]

Gvardiol is such a weird player. He looks both World class and flop at the same time.

Don't know what to think about him.

We said exactly the same about Cancelo.

 

[Gigant]

Would work out much better in Xabi's natural 3-4-3 , with proper wingback

 

[WallyA]

With everyone fit and looking to the future,

I'd like to see him in the Stones role, he is wasted in the back 3 and his weakness shows.

 

[Damanino]

hard to properly rate our defenders with this brutal shit midfield front of them. midfield doesnt trust defence, defence gets no help from midfield. pressing upfront is non existent just like tracking back.

 

[Paul1970]

As someone posted earlier he’s either world class or crap atm he is one of the worst defenders I’ve seen but going forward is really good . His future could lie in midfield.

He can be like the English weather at times; four seasons in one day.

My personal measure of City defenders goes from Eliaquim Mangala to Dave Watson.

As a defender, Gvardiol seems closer to Mangala than Watson. As for him becoming a midfielder... I don't see it.

With everyone fit Stones will be playing the Stones role.

Pep has him shoehorned into that left back position and there is no escape.

 

[Goater101]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him tackle someone

 

[Damanino]

he is very careless with possession. numerous times he just gives it away, few times it allowed Everton to break. sometimes its very simple passes he fucks up. I am ok if its a pass made into attacking third and he is other pressure/closed down it can be a bad pass, but even on our half or when he has to just pass it sideways to Kovacic, its short, too long or just inaccurate quite a few times.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Some good work defensively and in possession but ridiculously careless at times with his passing - another blind pass into the centre which compromised us today.

 

[skillman]

Only young and going through a blip in form while the rest of his teammates are struggling too. Shame.

He’ll bounce back. Too good not to.

 

[simon23]

Poor again but the quality is there

 

[Xhavenjoe]

He reminds me of a horny dog.
He's chasing after every young bitch in heat but getting nowhere
Today was his worst match. I'm not sure why Pep gives him such leeway. Great going forward but I can't recall a left back so deficient in tackling and so unaware what's going on around him.
A move to central midfield or to centre half f hsd to happen.

Midfield is where i'd play him

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Midfield is where i'd play him

Exactly.
He's good in the air, confident on the ball but brainless in defence.
He is never where you expect him to be.
The Croatian Scarlet Pimpernel

 

[super_city_si]

Great talent but making some daft mistakes. Some really sloppy passes or bad choices. Conversely is our biggest goal threat.

 

[RayCTID]

More use as an attacking threat than a defender.

 

[Chak19]

We look better offensively when he's at LB, nothing to really complain about today except when he played one of his trademark square passes to the opponent close to our box, he really needs to cut that out.

 

[Claytop]

Terrible today for me, gave it away countless times in dangerous positions.

Just bring him on for corners…
