19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

Any chance Khaldoon can just take this out of Peps hands and just give him some sort of role in the CFG and lets just pack up this embarassing return

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

It’s been an unmitigated disaster.

It’s bordering on cruel and he needs to be removed from the firing line.

I've been thinking the same, Gundogan should have a corporate job.

Assistant to the Director of Football?

 

[SamTheGuru]

Love him.....but shouldn't be playing football. Ref is running rings around him.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Whoever brought him back needs certifying

A 30odd year old bloke goes to a slower league, does nothing, and comes back a year older.

He should've gone back to Dortmund, slipped on his smoking jacket, and enjoyed the adulation.

I can't remember a decent game he's had in 3 months.

 

[RayCTID]

It is what it is. Rodri's injury has just made it worse than what was planned with Gundo's return.

 

[Chak19]

He's like Casemiro at the rags, yep it's that bad.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

When trying to get himself out of trouble, he tries a quick turn. It’s not quick anymore and results in him losing the ball.

Thanks for everything, Gundo, but it’s time to sit on the bench and come on at 75 mins with the game sewn up.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

In fairness to him, he made the right call last season.
He knew but we convinced him to return. Probably worth the gamble but having so many injuries it's left him horribly exposed.

We don’t tend to sew up games anymore…

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Then, he’s not going to get many minutes anymore!

Who starts ahead of him now though? That's the issue.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

I’ll do it

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Who starts ahead of him now though? That's the issue.

Bernardo, Grealish, Nunes, Akanji, Lewis, Stones, KDB, Wright, O’Reilly.

 

[samuelyeboah]

I don't understand why he's even getting a single minute of playtime, let alone start. He's finished, he's got nothing left football wise. starting ederson in midfield would be better.

 

[Paul1970]

If we are to start winning then he needs to be dropped as his inability to control midfield is putting pressure on our defence who atm are struggling . We were way better when he came off .

 

[goatfeeder100]

Bernardo, Grealish, Nunes, Akanji, Lewis, Stones, KDB, Wright, O’Reilly.

So guys who are also in the team and underperforming, or old injury prone players or kids? Sweet.

 

[nickamon]

Sadly been one of my favorite players but is not up to par. He's never been the most physical player but right now seems to me like his touch has also deserted him!

 

[Damien10]

Another one I don’t want to see start again. Unless there is no other option.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

The poor sod can barely move let alone run. The ease with which the opposition go by him is frightening.
