Ilkay Gundogan - 2017/18 performances

[Metalartin]

Give over, give me one example of that being a red card.

It was a scissor challenge from behind so he could have gone by the laws of the game but perhaps it's true refs rarely give a red for that.

Maybe they should start doing that though especially when a player is shite at tackling in general and has clumsily injured a lot of players with similar challenges in the recent past, only then would we see a decline in the amount of players injured by one particular player.

In the interests of fairness in the sport, it shouldn't be the talented player who didn't make any reckless mistakes second guessing one on one situations in the near future, it should be the oaf who's making a hash of tackles and injuring people or it's just bad for the sport itself and the image of the PL if the priorities are so backwards. There needs to be a deterrent and a yellow card doesn't cut it.

Yacob should still be banned for life, he got lucky he hasn't really hurt Ilkay. Cowardly ****'s trick of a tackle.

 

[Delphacito]

Injuries aside, he was fucking amazing in the middle. He looked like he didn’t just take a 9 month break from football.

will be gutted if hes out for a length of time again, the closest we have to him is KDB, the runs he makes into the box are superb, he ran that game tonight and its no coincidence we went to dogshit after he went off

@IlkayGuendogan has a small issue with his knee but I don’t think it will be serious


Please God, not his knee again.

 

[Cosmin]

It.s the other knee.

 

[Jonsilfab]

He looked so good before the injury. It's a shame he can't stay healthy as he can be such a lethal player for us.

 

[casserole of nonsense]

That's how I saw it. And did it just before IG got into the box, funnily enough. Took him out, from behind, basically.

And me. He chased him half the length of the pitch, it was obvious what he was going to do and when he was going to do it. You could see it coming.

 

[Craig]

Disagree, he chased him for 60 yards before jumping into a tackle from behind that connected after the ball had gone. Absolutely zero chance of getting the ball, obviously just meant to try and take Gundogan out and stop the attack. some other referees would have given that as a red.

Crying shame for the lad and what a performance too but it was never a red in a million years. Very cynical but just a part of football.

Gungohan mas majecstic last night. We totally controlled the match up until the moment he was kicked off the pitch by what was imho a very bad tackle from behind that could've easily been a red card. Hope he is back soon, and let this tackle and set back not interfere in his head.
