Beat defender in the league.

The match may have gone very differently if not for his calm, cool, collected approach to defending 1v1 situations.

Him and Dias are different class currently,Stones not far behind.

You are right about the one on ones.....particularly the situation created by KDB's abysmal piece of play towards the end of the first half.

He had a few he sniffed out but that is the exact situation I had in mind when I wrote that post.

Soton score there and the game is very different. Perhaps we still win—as poking the beast hasn’t exactly worked with us most of the time this season—but he made sure we didn’t have to come from behind by keeping his head and playing what looked a very tentative attacker in to making a mistake that Eddie could pounce on.

He didn’t go to ground rashly, he didn’t give up running; he coolly slowed and shepherded the Soton forward and made him think about his next move. He saw the entire chess board in an instant and the opposition could only see the pawns closing in.

As someone may or may not have said once, battle is won or lost in the six inches between your ears, and right now I wouldn’t trade the bits between his for any other defender’s in the league.

That situation is exactly the type we have labeled 'typical City' and had no answer for previously.

Such a Pro too.....so humble,no mither,and incredibly hardworking....He must be a dream for Pep.
 
I don't understand why we need go after Gvardiol, especially at the price. Hes just going to replace Laporte and spend more time on the bench.

Gvardiol will play Left centre half, Dias back to the right side and Akanji as backup. Stones and Rico at RB.
