It isn't entitlement it's reality.
City are now one of the top 5 clubs in world football and the people in charge want the absolute best. Gundogan isn't that.

So why does he keep getting selected

So why does he keep getting selected

That’s one of life’s mysteries. Pep’s constant selection of him reminds me of Peter Reid’s constant selection of Adrian Heath over far better players. Gundogan is too slow, mainly does sideways and backward passes and is frightened of shooting. It always seems to be a slow game when he plays. Just not good enough for where City want to be.

Someone posted that we are now one of the worlds top 5 clubs. Like him or loathe him but Gundog has helped us reach that status. Sadly, some do have an axe to grind with him and look for any opportunity to slate the lad.

Only Aguero had more attempts than him yesterday.
