Might be weird to say but Josko Gvardiol is an anomaly. He played striker at youth level then midfield and finally as a defender, at Leipzig he was a CB but ended up more times in the box and attacking than defending. He has the finishing of a striker , the defending of a CB and the technique of a winger.

Get me a Gvardiol clone on the right side, and one in the middle who can play like quarterback (Future Rodri?)Might be weird to say but Josko Gvardiol is an anomaly.

I can see both sides.
Dias, Akanji and Stones have been more than good enough at the middle.
Gvardiol, after a slow start, is now doing absolutely brilliantly on the left. With the amount of goals he's also scoring, it seems it's working quite well.
I feel like our real issues are more in midfield, wide players who don't score many goals, and potentially the right hand side of the defence as it feels like Walker is now approaching (or is past...) a sell by date.
Putting Gvardiol at CB would be a waste, he’s much more involved in the game at LB and the problem with the defence is we don’t have a defensive midfielder protecting them, so we’ll concede just as many goals with Gvardiol in the middle.

Basically the only thing he definitely isn’t is a midfielder, which is a shame.

He can pass the ball well though. He has been fantastic moving into forward spaces since Rodri was injured. I think he could become our next legend.Basically the only thing he definitely isn’t is a midfielder, which is a shame.
Yes you will when you sign the new deal later this month Pep :)
They are plotting your departure, baldie.

Pep needs to make his mind up now. Maybe I’m overreacting.
