8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

Probably my imagination but he seems pacier and more aggressive than he was.

Absolutely ,he joined our club after a horrendous run of injuries in Germany and was regarded by a few on here as a lightweight because he didnt get "stuck in" , the same neandethals who expressed this view are now eating humble pie by the lorry load. He has got stronger and more confident after a few injury free seasons and is now as aggressive in the tackle as any other player in the squad,

Superb performance. He’s in the best form of his career.

Sublime,makes the game look very very easy.

Thought Pep may have taken him off after 60 though,he has become that important,and the rest/protection would have been welcomed.

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

He was brilliant last night, first half he seemed to start every attack and be available for every pass (as did Rodders). I hope he can stay fit and maybe earn a year extension to his contract.

It's terrible to say but I am delighted that he has made mugs of some of my fellow Blues.

The beauty of Gundo, which was under appreciated, is that he keeps it simple and sensible most of the time and plays the way he is facing.

Brilliant yet again last night - he knits the play together like no one else in our squad

Absolutely agree. Always admired him for the simplicity in his game. And his goal scoring ability that is part of that. The mans’ vision is on the same level as KdB. Both quiet leaders, yet different players and personalities.

Not sure if both go in to management, but I would like to think Gündogan would suit todays team more.

But I feel very lucky to see both these players at my club. And surrounded by so many good players who are able to understand both.

I don't think Kev will go into management: I think he will hit the beach when he retires as a player.

Gundo could well end up as a manager and I wouldn't be surprised to see him back at City in some sort of coaching role, incl. the big one.

Kev is taking UEFA Coaching License, so i assume he will going to management at some point after his retirement.
