The only thing to dislike is he's 27, genuinely thought he was 25 until 10mins ago. Still get 3-4 years or so of him at the absolute peak of his powers, going to be a joy to watch.

Just to give some comfort, Fernandinho was 28 when we signed him from Shakhtar.

Saw that yesterday. Looks very familiar!

 

[domalino]

Just to give some comfort, Fernandinho was 28 when we signed him from Shakhtar.

And Yaya was 27 when we signed him.

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

Get to see this lad play footy again today. Absolutely buzzing

 

[01cravend]

He was poor. Didn't offer anything going forward and he contributes fuck all defensively. He's certainly not a box to box player.

 

[Chak19]

From the sublime to the ridiculous, welcome to the PL mate, hopefully he'll learn from this game.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Fucking awful today

He made a couple of poor decisions and that seemed to affect his confidence, anonymous there after

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Gundogan reincarnated, he is not.

 

[Cityfan]

Looks like he needs a bit of time to get up to speed.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Was non existent today

 

[Dazzle84]

Really poor today, he's a number 10 for the foreseeable future, can't play in the midfield two. But that's ok, he'll learn

 

[skillman]

Definitely not a 6 and should not be part of a midfield 2 - he’s not defensive minded enough. He can do a job there but needs more protection rather than just he and one other.

Like last week, he was the attacking one of a Bernie/Nico/Reijnders trio and it suited him.

Today he was anonymous and bullied off it a lot. And didn’t control it well enough when he had it deep/panicked. The things he did well were later in the game when he found pockets up near Haaland.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Gundogan reincarnated, he is not.

Gundo was shite when we signed him, new guy

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Christ he was bad today. His decision making was baffling.

Had the whole box to himself to shoot and tried an eye of the needle pass out wide.

They get a goal kick, pump it long and score.

 

[Lavinda Past]

One swallow does not a summer make.

He looked absolutely shite today. Not the worst of the bunch, but a massive downturn on last week's performance.

Expecting more from him next match.

 

[geoff hammond]

I’ve been so enthused by him but that was a kick in the balls. Hopefully just a blip

 

[chiswick blue]

An attacking 8. With Rodri and gonzalez he will look much better. Today the midfield was just overwhelmed with him and cherki, just too attacking

 

[blue ranger]

He was woeful today. Needs to play the attacking role.

 

[malg]

Maybe it'll bring people back down to earth. Needs time, but unfortunately that's something we don't have now.
