Everyone said Rodders was shit, 'get him out', 'he's not a city player, ' fucking crane', 'concrete feet', 'can't pass a ball', 'can't tackle' blah blah. Now he's the messiah, irreplaceable blah blah.

Let's see how Josko gets on in two seasons before we contemplate flogging him.

I think Josko will be alright. Pep obviously wants him to be the Stones of the left side. Stones at 21 would have struggled doing that position

Germ Genius on MOTD: "Barkley didn't just stand out - he was outstanding" - like a farmer in his field?

If he gives the fuckign ball away one more time I hope someone does flog him.......at least 20 lashes.

Give it time Carl he is playing passes that are risk and reward. He is scary at times your hearts in your mouth.

Its the constantly being beaten for pace on the outside that has me worried more than him loving possession. Passing can be worked on pace cant.

He's not a fucking lb for that reason alone. Why Pep persists with the idea that he is defies belief. Play him at cb or not at all

It wasn't long ago Ake wasn't good enough and some were calling for his head. Now he's class. He isn't exactly a road runner!

Good positioning compensates for lack of speed.

Josko gets pelters on here from a fair few and my point is its his first season here in a team that is expected to challenge for everything and our esteemed leader persists in playing him out of position. As good as Pep is,he has got to realise that not every player has the brains or skill-set to play a variety of positions. Full back in our team is one that comes with a higher responsibility than most and one role that requires a greater understanding of our overall play. That can be coached, I've no doubt but we cannot expect this kid to be that from walking in the door. Play him at cb or he will continue to struggle

Call me.a licker but I expect Guardiola is well aware of what the responsibilities are of the various positions in his team. I dare say he knows full well about Gvardiol's weaknesses. Granted the manager isn't infallible but I bet he's seen everything that everyone else has, and more. I also bet he has accepted it will happen as a necessary byproduct of the journey to where it all leads.
