8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

[jimmygrimblesboots]

He will never get the praise he deserves from some on here , he was slagged by a few posters when he was signed and they had their words rammed down their throats over the last few seasons.
If he left tomorrow he has to be the signing of the decade if it is judged on value for money , £20m for the contribution he has made is small change, he wont get a statue but he has to be regarded as a vital part of our success.

72% pass completion(3rd lowest on the pitch between both teams). Dispossessed 4 times. Created 0 chances. Had 0 shots.

Couple good balls to Foden but him being this forums motm over Phil is mental.

Phil 1 goal, 1 assist, 7 chances created, 89% pass completion, dispossessed 0 times

His pass completion rate was low because he was trying ambitious through balls, which is exactly what we've been lacking in the last month.

And I'm not sure about your chance creation stat of 0 as he created the first goal with the excellent pass to Foden

Exactly, but it doesn't satisfy some bias views

Gundogan created the first 2 goals (more important contributions to these goals than Foden). He may have misplaced the ball a few times but he was taking Kev's role as chief creative midfielder and was constantly trying to make a through pass, so it is unsurprising. I'd assume Foden would lose the ball more playing in the middle of the park as opposed to the right wing.

Foden was my MOTM too but Gundo was superb as well.

Well, not finished afterall, people never learn , pep set us up to attack and let them all do it

 

[Barcon]

Let's not get sentimental here.

Nothing to do with sentiment mate. Just a way of getting him to stick around for a year while a new signing settles in.

The stats are nonsense because Foden got dispossessed a few times early on. Also, Gundo created the first goal

Dispossessed = when losing the ball whilst not attempting a take-on. So caught dallying on the ball basically.

Between gundo and the ball hitting the net, Phil was tackled by the keeper, Haaland hit the bar via deflection then Alvarez tapped in... Gundo's creating stopped once Phil was tackled.
