    i think alex is right. it depends on each big games and what exactly city has to do particularly on that game and which profile suits to deliver it. City currently having so much options there gotta be helpful then.

    Gundogan has played the 6/8 for City in the past, and seems to be a more natural replacement, along with Kovacic

      yes....but now-version of Gundo in my mind is no longer has the sparks he used to be, his impact is not as strong as let's say 2 years ago, we can't really depends on him for entire season, but yeah he's another capable solution

      @keobakilesekhoto9060 2 дні тому +2

      I think akanji should be played at right back in pivotal games so that stones can play in midfield with kovacic with foden as the 10 and kdb as the deeper lying
      Playmaker, walker has been a liability for the past two years

      Considering Guardiola doesn't necessarily want to trust Rico in big games and how undroppable Manu has become, that's a fair shout. But you'd actually need John to stay fit for it to work.

    • @guedrini2045
      @guedrini2045 5 годин тому

      After pep tried gundo as the solo holding mid in the UCL final vs Chelsea, I’ll just never feel like it can work in a big/tight game again. All our other midfielders lack either size, physicality, restraint, on ball ability, or enough defensive competency to start there. Stones I believe is the best replacement but inevitably when he starts picking up those constant knocks ruling him out every few weeks I think we’re really gonna struggle

  • @WillishBroadbino
    @WillishBroadbino 2 дні тому +7

    Ripple effect, if John Stones does step forward and perform the CDM role for City, he could be the missing piece for England. We're well stocked at CB with Guehi and Konsa impressing at the Euros as well as a wealth of other talent

  • @CB-lw7ty
    @CB-lw7ty 2 дні тому +23

    Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see him stick with Kova and/or Matheus against the lower sides in the division then go 3 at the back and push Stones into DM against the big boys.

      @@josefwhitlam3560 he had a chance to give Pep reason to bring him into the squad more against watford but he was a little bit pedestrian, not bad but not a strong bid for a spot.
      If ake didn’t get injured I could totally see pep trying to sneak gvardiol into that stones type “midfield” slot. Recently when we’re attacking and dominating, gvardiol is higher up than grealish and our entire midfield. He’s got the competence and quality on the ball and the size/physicality to excel there. Only question mark is would he be able to seamlessly adapt his game intelligence and mental sharpness to the level that holding mid requires like Stones did.

    This season City have decent squad depth in every position apart from two....... they cannot properly replace Haaland and they cannot replace Rodri and for me, they could manage for a bit without Haaland but they will definitely suffer without Rodri. For me, he's the most complete midfielder on the planet.
