Hate to grumble after a 0-3 away win, albeit that we were a little off the pace and sloppy in possession
But, Gundogan is a very odd player to work out. Last few weeks in the 'easy' home games he has been excellent and clearly seems popular with the other players
Was surprised he started today, however, as it was all too predictable that they would be getting stuck in, especially in midfield, which is clearly not his forte
Sorry if it has already been mentioned but I thought the very worst part of today's game (from our perspective, not nailed on non-penners) was his miss just before half time, where he put it hopelessly wide from a very good kind of inside-right position about 10 yards out
I hate to accuse any player of cowardice, but for all the world it looked to me like he deliberately avoided getting a proper shot off, as he knew that if he tried to wrap his foot around the ball he would get whacked by the covering defender
If he did that, it is very much on the no-no list!
