Ilkay Gundogan - 2016/17 Performances

[br88]

The thing I'm most disappointed about with him is that he doesn't want the ball as much as I expected. When Yaya was immense for us, he would have more touches than anyone else on the pitch, and by some distance. Gundogan doesn't seem to have the same willingness to dictate from start to finish. I expected everything to go through him, but it doesn't.

Do not understand your comments at all....for me he is always looking to pick up the ball. And Yaya's been at City for many years for Christ's sake whereas Gundogan has barely played a handful of games.

Give him a chance,serious injury and no pre-season,what is wrong with you lot?

 

[Busmo Funbag]

He reminds me of Gary Mason.

 

[Fallingbostel Blue]

He reminds me of Gary Mason.

First half yesterday he reminded me of Gary Megson.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Shown glimpses of serious talent and I can't wait for him to hit his stride over the full 90 minutes.

As an aside, it looked on the replays as if he was trying to place the ball in the top corner for his chances both yesterday and against Barca. Would have both been magnificent goals if he managed to pull it off but - just like the rest of the team - it's not going his way at the moment.

 

[Higor Douglas]

Good performance IMO

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

I like him, but it's no coincidence our performances and results have gone to dogshit since he's come in.

It's not him personally, but him/silva/fern and Kev just don't seem to be collectively ticking, whereas before Ilkay came in we moved the ball much faster.

We can be thankful no one's pulling away from us and hopefully we gel asap.

We all know about his passing ability and balance on the ball but another incredible skill he has is the timing of his runs into the box. Great performance today. The assist for Aguero was sublime and he took his two goals expertly.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Fantastic player. Top class.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

This is why we bought the lad.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Much, much better today. Not just personally, but in terms of his link up play with the rest of the team.

He wasn't getting picked up with this run on many occasions Toda. :(

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Looks like his fitness is getting to a strong level now. Still bursting forward to get two in the latter stages of the game.

Hats off to Ilkay and he'll have shut up a few moaners with that one.

brilliant today.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

£20m for this lad , makes him look a bargain compared to some signings , if only he could change his hairstyle every game we would have a world beater on our hands

 

[01cravend]

Was like Lampard in his pomp today.

Given licence to get forward on every occasion and it paid off handsomely..Same role vs Barca please

Cost less than Paul Pogba's obese agent.
