Was thinking exactly the same. The timing of his run and finish for the fourth was textbook Lampard. His running style is even similar.

Yeah I was signing on to this thread to offer just that opinion as to running/finishing style. Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking so!
Have friend who works in Dortmund and watches Borrussia regularly, rated this guy as the best midfielder in the Bundersleague two years ago until he pick up several injuries in the last eighteen months or so. Thinks that once he gets up to,full fitness he will run the show for City he says he's that good and has an amazing range of passes.Was thinking exactly the same.

At 26 years old we have got an absolute bargain with this guy. top class player.
Hope so. All that possession control is only worth it if you can find those runs. The more he and DeBryune play together the better they'll be at picking each other out on early runs.De Bruyne did pick him out that is for sure. He will continue to make those runs and I am sure more goals will come as a result of that.
Right n
Oh you have insulted Silky Ilkay :)Did he remind anyone of Lampard today? Thats a performance as similar to Frank as it could be. He still shys away a bit from a tough 50/50, which will improve once he gains confidence in his fitness. Mind you when everyone said he was a crock I never expected him to play so many games already.
This :) You are growing on me Thumbs up :)Load the Gun and he will shoot.
Like I said all thru the pining for Kroos in the summer, we already have the best German midfielder, just give him time.Have friend who works in Dortmund and watches Borrussia regularly, rated this guy as the best midfielder in the Bundersleague two years ago until he pick up several injuries in the last eighteen months or so.

Bloody funny game or maybe I just drink too much. Watching the game today on Telly and me and my dad said we weren't overly impressed so far with him. 40 minutes later we're both discussing if we've had anyone better bursting into the box.

Just watched the MOTD repeat & when Ilkay scores his 2nd, Guy Mowbray says "That's Gundogan". Think he's been watching this...
