Ilkay Gundogan - 2016/17 Performances

[Dr Jacoby]

I believe we should only play two from Silva, Gundogan and de Bruyne.

We've replaced Nasri with what appears to be a carbon copy of Nasri. On his day, extremely classy and looks unplayable, the problem with Nasri was his day was 1 game out of every 5, at this moment Gundogan looks exactly the same. I hope it is him just settling in.

 

[The Riot Club]

Our form has plummeted since fitting him in.

Only the Barca game is the exception.

Too inconsistent too.

I'd return him to the bench and see if our form improves.

This.
Easy to say in hindsight but I never was excited by his signing. I'd rather have had Wilshere.
Hopefully I'll be proved wrong and his form will improve, and soon.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I believe we should only play two from Silva, Gundogan and de Bruyne.

Been saying this for a few weeks.

 

[Mattyc55]

He's only played well in one game.

Very underwhelming so far.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Looks like a summer time footballer - good at home when we are winning and the sun is shining, but he doesn't like it up him

I believe we should only play two from Silva, Gundogan and de Bruyne.

I agree, and I'd drop Silva.

 

[B\connellblue]

Slow as fuck. the game just passes him by. Another dud.

I believe we should only play two from Silva, Gundogan and de Bruyne.

Spot on.

 

[Gabriel]

Gundogan is at his best playing little triangles around a pressing opponent and then driving us forward, either by himself or with another midfielder. However, in combination with Silva and de Bruyne, the play tends to go horizontal rather than vertical, and his effect is lost.
