Thomas Sorensen has said that Josko Gvardiol has made the cut in his Premier League Team of the Season so far.
When quizzed about his XI on The Optus Sport Football Podcast, the pundit named Gvardiol as part of his backline.
After the 21-year-old’s underwhelming display against Chelsea, Danny Murphy claimed that he could “struggle” in his side’s upcoming clash against Liverpool.
Thomas Sorensen names Josko Gvardiol in his Premier League Team of the Season
However, one rare off day does not change the fact that the youngster is an excellent defender and so far at Manchester City, he has been brilliant.
Thomas Sorensen certainly thinks so as he named Josko Gvardiol in his Premier League Team of the Season.
“I’ve got Ruben Dias, big fan of his. I’ve got actually two Man City players. I’ve also got [Josko] Gvardiol”, he told The Optus Sport Football Podcast.
On the same episode, Mark Schwarzer also picked Manuel Akanji in his side, describing him as “absolutely brilliant” since his move to the Etihad Stadium last summer.
The youngster’s performance against Chelsea should not take away from how solid he has been at Manchester City
Thomas Sorensen is right to have picked Josko Gvardiol in his XI, considering how stellar he has been for Manchester City.
Of course, against Chelsea, like most of his side, the Croatian defender did not cover himself in glory.
Notably for Raheem Sterling’s goal, the former RB Leipzig colossus’ body shape was all over the place.
But apart from that game, Gvardiol is yet to have erred in a Sky Blues shirt.
If anything, it seems like the ex-Dinamo Zagreb talent has emerged as Pep Guardiola’s starting left-back, taking Nathan Ake’s place in the side, who was crucial to Manchester City winning the treble last season.
This indicates how impressive Josko Gvardiol has been since making his way to the Premier League and is only expected to get better and better as he continues to hone his craft in the blue side of Manchester.
