Context needed: Gvardiol has been a left sided CB and Pep has been playing him out of position all season, mostly as a left sided wingback. It’s taken him the better part of the season to get going with it, but now he’s not only playing the role very well in the last 2 months, but stepping up and scoring big goals such as at Real Madrid and 5 goals in the past 7 PL games. Let that sink in…he’s just turned 22 and has been a professional CB and is now a starting wingback for one of the best sides in the world and banging in goals. Wow!

[@Kwami357]

Gvardiol kept proving doubters wrong

[@prospermwape4298]

Dude cemented himself in the first 11

Pep too. No manager ever would have dreamt of re inventing him like this

22 years old. Ffs man city have another young world beater.

[@eddiechea3603]

I remembered at the beginning of the season the haters were saying Gvardiol was a flapped. Dude is a serious baller and this is only his first season in Pep’s system and in the premier league.

[@nitinpatel1039]

Can wait for team is add top midfielder and right back this summer and City will be back to their very best-bruno g, paqueta, frimpong, savio is returning from loan may be one pacy defender as well to replace walker

[@kartikthawal7809]

Yan cunto not pacy like Kyle but will adapt soon

[@kimweroIsmail]

U think it works that way ?

[@adolfbilic8622]

None of those come close to replacing Rodri or Kovacic who are both technically levels above those players mentioned . Paqueta maybe as a substitute...

[@haroldhenriques1543]

The midfielder that City needs is Kimmich. Pay the 50mil for him and have him become the player to help Rodri at CDM and RB (if needs be). He's the perfect player for Pep and City because he has a decade of experience at the highest level, he knows how Pep plays and he's just so good. With him in the squad as well we get enough time to develop Rico who is to slot in at RB when Walker goes

Arsenal fans will have you believe Tottenham are going to down tools against city so they don’t win the league. However on the other hand, they don’t believe Utd will down tools against them to stop city beating their joint record of winning 3 leagues in a row. Sums up their ridiculous fan base.
