8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

[BLUEisville]

This is coming from a huge Gundog fan but he can't play 90 mins anymore. Legs are generally gone by the 60th min.

This is it , I think he needs to be used as an impact sub or for European games with the knowledge that he’ll not play the full game. You could see when Leipzig brought on fast and physical players that his impact really started waning.

For me he was the first sub that should’ve been made, and I would’ve slid Grealish over beside Bernardo and kept Rodri at the base. We would’ve had a stronger core

Hes been incredible for us, but were seeing a fernandinho and David Silva situation where its unfortunately time to move on.

Hes fine, but were flogging him. Hes being overplayed.

Seem's allergic to passing forward and after 60 mins he runs like he's playing in his own 5 a side game.

He can’t pass the ball forwards anymore!

I’m an unashamed Gundog fanboy, he’s a craftsman and probably our most influential player. He doesn’t need to be tearing round at full speed for 90 mins to exert his influence which is why Pep kept him on.

That assist was 100% his and 100% intentional.

Complete passenger. Big Gundo fan. Doesn't pass to Haaland at the right time. Has a tendency to throw his hands up now when passes go astray. Don't blame him completely though - he's told how to play.

Part of the issue this season is Pep has given Gundo and Kev the Messi permission of not having to track back anymore. Issue being they are midfielders and are thus leaving gaping holes....also they are not Messi.

 

[super_city_si]

He's good for 60/70 mins but its no coincidence teams start to take a hold against us after this time. He's still a very good player but he needs to be utilized correctly.

I am getting pissed off at this guy not playing obvious through balls.
