19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

[Stelea]

Got absolutely done by Kulecheski (spelling!)on the 1st goal which led to the cross to the goal

If he is going to play for us it cannot be as a 6. He has to be as a 10 and given the freedom to play on the front foot. He doesn't have the mobility to play a deeper role. His legs have gone. We were so much better when Kovacic came on.

Seems miles off it, maybe that's just who he is now. It's nearly November and no signs of him getting "up to speed".

I've no doubt he'll be a valuable asset to have around the dressing room as the season goes on but it's just looking like he's not going to recapture the old magic on the actual pitch

But let's see, there's a long way to go until the end of the season.

Doubt the plan was for him to be playing this often, but injuries have forced that, and you can't blame Pep for playing him ahead of others.

I won't ask for flowers, but I said his coming back was a mistake. He left on the highest of highs for one, and more importantly for us, he's yet to have a single good performance.

Fuck him off to New York City or something.

Worryingly we’re going to need him more than we expected than at the start of this weekend. Signing him back was meant to be bringing him off the bench to change a game or for cup games like tonight.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

It’s hard to be overly critical of a city legend but he looks finished to me. It felt like we had Didi Hamann (the city version) in midfield at times tonight.

I hope it’s merely a case of reacclimatising to the PL and we see the Gundogan we know and love again soon.

I don’t even think it’s because of injuries, there’s just nobody else.

Perhaps eat the flowers ?

You really enjoy being a smug ****, and do it well
