19 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2024/25

[.db.]

Hasn't got the legs anymore unfortunately.

Not only his legs but his mind.

At one point, it was like he was daydreaming and was slow in thought to react to a free bouncing ball that lead to one of their attacks because he just let their lad take it.

 

[Trojan1962]

Too slow these days to be of any use. Sad to see

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Get him making the chips, if the concourses run out

 

[BigOscar]

Honestly just detrimental to the team now, any time he's on the pitch, we're worse for it unfortunately

 

[LWashington]

He seemed to quickly forget that he was playing 6. I'm pretty sure he was stood in front of McAtee when he had that shot.

 

[skillman]

Gutted how relied upon he’s been since coming back. No chance this was the plan for him.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

It’s one of those situations where you pray that you wake up and he’s had an offer from Saudi. Something that suits all parties because this return to the club has been an utter shambles. He looks like he should be playing Masters football.

 

[ProofMCFC]

Why not give Nico a chance ffs. You’re telling me he would have done worse than Gundogan? It’s disgusting at this point.

 

[daztrueblue91]

Absolute legend and one of our greatest ever players but time has caught up with him and he offers nothing to this current side.

Should leave alongside Walker in this window.

 

[Blu1]

Let him go now (sad but true)

 

[RayCTID]

In theory the sub made sense but Gundo is not quite sharp enough to see out hectic games.

Gundo at the 6 hasn't made since in the 2021 CL final and we're already in 2025!

It still doesn't make sense.. play a DM at DM. Hell call Perrone back from loan if Nico isn't trusted.. he may not be Rodri but he's a DM!

 

[red 2 hats]

So sad seeing this version of Gundo, Peps loyalty to him is costing us big time, he's less than half the player who left for Farcelona.

Bollocks.

He came on for twenty and we went 2-0 up. What use is he if he can't do a 20min job.

What's the plan, just have him sat around collecting hundreds of thousands a week.

and even if it was it should have been changed after 5 games. It was a gamble, fair idea but it hasn't paid off, thats ok. To not recognize that is just awful management from Pep.

Whats the alternative? If we had Rodri we'd have control back and Gundogan probably wouldnt look this bad. But we are playing a game with no control that is back and forth and it wasn't suited to Gundogan when he could run, never mind now.
I'd prefer he was sitting on the side collecting his money until we get in players who can give us control of games again and he can be used as a sub in a better and less important position than the fulcrum of the team.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Nobody can honestly tell me they didn’t fear the worst when he came on at 2-0. You’re lying if you say you didn’t. I don’t want to see him on the pitch for us ever again, Pep is far too loyal to him.

 

[sarcastico]

Pep needs to loan this guy out like he did with Phillips for the good of the club.

That today wasn’t a game for him. But Kova was knackered. And there’s not other option.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Fucking pony. they say never go back and we shouldn’t have done,
