19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

[JewelZee]

Better without him Slows the game down and he isn’t showing anything like the old Gundo Pep is obcessed with him and it’s to the detriment of the team especially Erling How he stayed on for the whole game I’ll never know

Spot on...

 

[JewelZee]

Don’t see the point investing 90min in Gundo.
McAtee should have his chance.

Exactly. That's why McAtee should leave. If Phil has issues (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) and can't go from the start give McAtee a chance. What's the point of him being on the squad if he can't get a look in v. Wolves.

 

[JewelZee]

relying on 30 year old kovacic and 34 year old gundo for 60 something games is a disaster waiting to happen

True, but in fairness to Kova he's been miles more effective than Gundo.

he knew it was cup games and dead rubbers when he stayed. Rodri, Kev, Ake and Bobb in the mix he doesnt even see the bench, Not sure why you wouldn't hook Gundo or Rico in this given the last 10. Can only think its a trust thing from pep who sees him day in day out.

Didn’t think he was great today. Lost the ball a few times and one almost led to a goal for them. The midfield is too slow so Pep needs to sort that problem.

He's had a slow start but Gundo was not the problem today. He was fine, not great but he was at least getting himself into goalscoring positions and the few times we looked like we might create a chance, it generally involved him.

Bernardo was the odd man out today in midfield, didn't have a role in the setup and could and should have been sacrificed for foden with us keeping a pacy winger on the pitch.

Yeah a slow start a slow middle and a slow end We started the season without Rodri and we were fine Erling scoring goals for fun looked like Pep had reinvented a new way forward then Gundo arrived and since he become a regular starter we have looked slow and ponderous This is not having at Gundo it’s Pep who is making the decisions Bernie’s stats are so much better today as well Gundo should not be a regular starter, a valuable player to bring on but to repeat he slows us down

Agree, but that of lack of trust sometimes defies what we see when some of these "other" guys actually get on the pitch...JMO

Gundo or Kova?

I have to remind myself we see them for about 10% of the working week over what pep does, can be annoying but fuck am i gonna do about it. Hope they get better and keep watching like a sucker. lol

Shit again, im sorry but la liga has set his legs back about 10ys.

No qualms with him starting against the likes of Prague on Wednesday but today he was anonymous.
