8 | Ilkay Gundogan - 2022/23

[Gabriel]

Don't know how I feel about this. I really want him managed properly for the UCL. Can't burn him out at this stage.

We have an exceptional back room staff that monitor and keep them in tip-top shape; the players have also been over the course and will be able to listen to their bodies at this stage of the season.

I thought he was brilliant today. Ran a thousand miles and fought tenaciously for the ball often against two or three opponents in the midfield.

Well done captain you led by example!

Best player on the pitch today. when others looked miles off he led by example. Showed bernardo-like tenacity and a true captains performance.

Didnt think he was at the races today , we lost control of the midfield for the last 20 minutes , he has been amazing this season but he fell below his high standards against Fulham , hr is the wrong side of thirty and maybe the games are catching up with him , would rest him for the next couple of home games , we need him fully fit and firing for the Madrid and Rag games.

He looked tired but he still put in a fine performance, IMO.

Gundogan having an average game is still very good , he didnt carry the ball like he usually does , suspect your correct , he looked leggy

Gone under the radar a bit this season, played a lot of games and gives us such control, was very good once again today. Need to manage his minutes in the run in if possible as he’ll be needed in the CL especially

Feels like he is getting alot of minutes this season, and with his age, we have to manage his time for the run in.

Surprised Alvarez was subbed instead of him for Bernie, but Pep values Gundogan's ability to control the game so much (same with Rodri), that both are near undroppable.

We desparately need more depth next season, including players that Pep can actually rely on.

Yeh so was I - he looked tired today

Rolls Royce of a player..!

Our first and most probably, best player we've signed in the Pep era..
