Ilkay Gundogan - 2017/18 performances

[domalino]

You can't wrap him up in cotton wool all the time and if ever does come regular he might need to last 120 minutes.

No one's suggesting he's wrapped in cotton wool, but probably not best to make him play 120 minutes on just his second start back from a 10 month injury.

I'm sure Guardiola wouldn't have done it if he didn't have to.

Hopefully he's nor another Bojinov

Nonsense,he is barely back to playing after 9 months out,it was reckless and i doubt we will be seeing him for a while now

Come on Karen the glass ain't half empty on this one and by all accounts he seemed to be fine. I watched him lob a fine ball over the top of the Wolves defender for Sterling (I think)

Only outfield player who looked on it last night. He was head and shoulders above the others.

I can't see Tweet's on my work computer. Is he injured?

 

[Abhinav Tripathi]

I saw his insta message stating that it was just a long game, nothing serious.
In general, i have to say that i haven't been overly impressed with his contribution this season but i also know that its too early to judge him as he recently came back from a long injury.
Hopefully November onward, the real Ilkay will show up :D

Gundogan tells a fan on Instagram that he's "well" and just felt the effects of a long game.

Phew.....

Hopefully he recovers well.

I honestly don't think Pep would have risked him if he didn't think he was up to it. He seems like a strong minded player who wants to get stuck in and play. He must have had such a frustrating time being sidelined for so long.

Don't need to risk him against west bromwhich cloggers fc.
Lucky not to be badly injured in cup game there recently.

Noticed a few times last night that he seems to favour getting to the ball first, flicking it above the foot of the challenging player, and getting away from said player by staying on his feet throughout. Indeed, I'm not sure I even saw him make a robust challenge all night. Has he always done that, or is he perhaps more keen now to avoid going into 50/50 challenges?
