19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

[meeesh]

Honest assessment that by him, he’s hurting as he should be, was like a coaches chat that, just wish he was 5 years younger

 

[ScottSinclair]

Won't slag him off for the rest of the season. Everyone knows he can't be what we need anymore.

One of the best players and captains we have ever had, and a genuine legend of the club

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Thought he played well.

Just because a team doesn't perform well as a unit, it doesn't mean individuals are always to blame. Lots of unfair personal criticism going on in lots of threads tonight.

Yup can all be condensed into the post match thread really, they were all fucking abysmal again

 

[Damanino]

why put 90 mins into him vs Palace and Juventus too. can imagine he will not fancy the derby physically.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

He was actually quite good for most of the game, I thought. There will be some clips of him out when he's jogging around but c'mon, he was never meant to play this much.

You'd hope Kovacic and Nunes will play.

Nunes ?

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Nunes ?

Yes. He's not perfect, but at least he can run, unlike any of our current midfielders.

This was why I really didn't want him to come back. The ending was so perfect :(

Why don't team leave perfect alone sometimes :(

 

[Keeper!]

A shadow of a once great player but he is busting his guts in the cause but so sad to see him and the players around looking so old and slow.

 

[Roachy]

Doing zero sadly.

 

[Stelea]

His ‘run’ back on the 2nd goal was embarrassing.

 

[Blu1]

He should not be starting any games end of. Play a kid ffs who can run at least

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

I think in honour of Plodri, it's time Gundo got his own nickname. I put forward Can'trundogan.

 

[mcfcpride]

He knows..

 

[ninjamonkey]

Gundo played reasonably well, only player who was capable of playing sharp balls through the lines. The few occasions we did anything that wasnt at walking pace, he was involved in it.

He's being asked to do something he isn't physically capable of doing, there's no sense in blaming him for not being able to do it, the blame lies with the person repeatedly asking him to do something he cannot do.

 

[kaz7]

Wonder why Barca let him go after one season, way past it, shame because he was incredible post that move.

He was one of the best players in spain last year and he asked to leave to come back here , so stop with the bollocks

 

[Haaland94]

I love him for what he has done for us but starting him every week in this form is mad. He is an impact sub, at best, at this age, in this shape.

 

[Blu1]

He’s done
