Which is exactly what he'd be doing if we were able to use him as I'm sure was intended with him coming back - a super sub. Gundo should not be starting or playing 90+ minutes anymore, we all know this, but circumstances currently dictate that he has to. If the stars align and we ever get everyone back fit again, and we start seeing him only for the last 20-30 minutes of games, I'm sure Mr Whippy will return.

People on here just like to piss and moan and need someone to pick on, it's fucking pathetic mate.I thought that was his best game since his return. The ‘well done Gundo’s’ outnumbered the ‘ffs Gundo’ by about three to one. Thought he did a lot really well.

Really enjoyed the game last night and there wasn't anything to complain about, other than the shit trains :)

That's why he needs a partner to sit with him.I’d prefer him running into the box. That’s what he’s good at. He’s no holding type midfielder. His passing range is superb but he can’t win the ball back and is far too leggy for any kind of defensive duty.

He played a lot better, largely thanks to having Jack alongside him which gave him some more space and then having Kev and Bernardo to link up with like the good old days.
Unfortunately though, the speed of thought just isn't what it once was. Any pressure and he really struggles to get out of trouble like he used to. He used to invite the pressure and just have such exceptional ability to find some space and move the ball on or make some room for himself. Now it's getting stuck under his feet or he's losing the ball - he's just that bit slower than he used to be and it's making him a problem when in deeper areas.

It was a better performance from Gundogan but nearly gave a goal away at 1.0 and got caught on the ball a few other times aswell. Hopefully he’ll be gone in Jan and we can get a couple in.
Agree we need another midfielder but no need to let Gundy go.It was a better performance from Gundogan but nearly gave a goal away at 1.0 and got caught on the ball a few other times aswell. Hopefully he’ll be gone in Jan and we can get a couple in.
He would look better if he wasnt asked to be a 6, and just be an 8, lets him attack more.
But he is the 6 out of necessity.
Still, next season, we should plan to move on, as we have a younger Kova, Grealish, Bernie or even Nunes who can play as the 8.
