      This guy plays better than most of our forwards. Its a total waste limiting a player of his kind to defend especially in this time our team lacks creativity. Free Josko to go up let others feel his absence in defence. Only him can't stop opposition from scoring but at least with him in the attack we have a chance to score or create.

      What I've seen in Joško Gvardiol is rawness combined with grace. His footballing prowess is something unique. He just doesn't fit into stereotypical defender. He is a commanding figure on the pitch and imagine how much he would evolve throughout his career. Sometimes it's hard to believe that he's only 23 years old. Joško is our asset undeniably ❤

      I personally Love him even when some man city haters focus solely on some of his mistakes. Guys he is 21 and playing as a right wing back for the one and only PEP GUARDIOLA. that position has the most pressure in the entire squad after the CDM position. So please some respect 🙏🙏

      Actually we got a steal from Leipzig at the point i knew what he can give us on the pitch and after seeing him in the worldcup it was clear he is something really special and his loyalty and dedication towards the club whichever he had played for was and is top notch. He has made my team look average whenever we are just poor. What a Player! Cityzen 💙

      Lol, i really dont know what to make of Josko Gvardiol ….. he's probably made more mistakes, and given the ball away at City more than anyone since his arrival …. On the other hand, he is the Premier leagues top scoring defender this season, and he has made some tremendous tackles and interceptions …. he's a really likeable guy too, and seems to be enjoying life at City.
