Ilkay Gundogan - 2018/19 performances

[OB1]

Another City scapegoat. Did ok for me today few nice and tidy forward passes to Sterling and a few decent interceptions.

Much worse on the pitch than Gundogan today.

Getting boring now the amount of stick that Gundogan gets.

Funny how Pep keeps picking him and he produces decent numbers like those but the experts on here think he is not good enough for us.

He's not KDB but not every player in the squad will be exceptional like Kev.

I think his injuries have taken something away from him but Ilkay is still a very good player.

I agree and I know it's opinions but he doesn't deserve half the stick he gets on here.

Probably my third best today behind kun and laporte. Crazy some people

A bit pissed of with our fans tbh. Gundo and Raz always get the blame when the result doesn't go our way. Whereas the golden boys get away with murder.

Sane's worst performance in a City shirt. Yet another shit preseason too. Last year, he rounded off a shit preseason with losing that ball at home v Everton that Rooney finished off. Pep said he wasn't happy with his start too. He has the summer off, and he comes back late. And in shit form again.

Kompany, again maybe his worst performance in a long time too. Misplaced passed in crucial positions. He's rash and a liability when he's like this. Stones will be back in immediately and give Otamendi a go if it's a back 3.

I do wonder if some fans have a problem with his effeminate persona. But Gundo didn't put a foot wrong and got the assist.

You see the players your picking out as not getting as much stick has won us countless games where Gundogan has maybe won us 1 vs Barcelona saying if was ok today like most games he plays.

Hes absolute turd. And there are countless players in the league who could do the same job for us..
I put him in the same bracket as ( Ramsey, Shelvey, Fellaini, Drinkwater. Etc. an ok midfielder who can do a job now and then

How very dare you!

Incapable of taking a game by the scruff of the neck,something of a flat track bully.

Strange opinion. This :(

 

[citytilllidie]

Good player, great cross for the goal

Best player. By quite some margin for me. He had 4 positioning plays that led to him intercepting the ball (twice) or Wolves to lose possession (Twice too) kept possession well. Create 3 chances including the one that led to the goal..

On the facts, to give him anything other than top pwefoperfor is ridiculous. Only Aguero was close performance wise.

How anyone can conclude the 2nd best player ( at worst) wasn't good enough..... Just boggles the mind.

Can any of the usual suspects give us FACTS upon which they e based their claims?

"Game by the scruff of it's neck" doesn't count as a fact btw.

What's going on here?

Stick your stats mate, the reason why Dick Turpin is not playing well is he's been working with his mate Failaini AKA Ronald McDonald doing ads. The Hamburglar is back! ; )

Thought he was quite good today. Guess the only thing I wonder is whether there’s a push from the staff - for whoever fills in for kev whenever - to ask/see if they can try to at least mimic some of his directness. That’s what I feel is most missing whenever he’s out (and/or when he doesn’t have the likes of sane & sterling simultaneously stretching a defense) - the threat of instinctual through balls that open a defense and keep them paranoid. I just feel like sometimes to midfield contingent is too alike/possession-conscious when kdb isn’t a part of it, which allows defenses to keep their organization better.
