He is supreme technically. He can receive in tight spaces, spin and run or release the ball. He has excellent vision and passing ability. He has excellent dead ball delivery. His positional sense often nullifies attacks by the opposition.

Weaknesses are that he is not physically strong and is vulnerable to pace.

As I said earlier, he is up for three awards this month and is rated by Pep as one of the world's best. He had a relatively poor game yesterday, as did most of the team, and toiled to find room against a packed defence. I have been a fan for fifty years and my opinion is that he probably ranks in the top 30 or so players in that time.
 
Gundagun was class in the last few months of last season & a big reason we went on to win the League.

Apart from yesterday he has Benn very very good this season but unfortunately when we don't play well as a TEAM he gets singled out.

What let's him down IMO is when we struggle to break a TEAM down he starts playing that stupid over the top ball that never Hardly comes off + those one two's that went wayward.

Last week we were pants but got away with it, yesterday the whole team were shit Inc Gundagun but he was no way any worse than Sterling & Bernardo.

Aguero gave us fuck all in the 1st half & lucky to stay on the pitch, I thought he was off just b 4 HT when Jesus was coming on.

Fortunately for us Dave went off another shit 45 from him also yesterday.
Ederson was wank, Angelino I'm just not sure but that goes for all our LB's I just don't see any improvement.
So yes Gundo was shit but he wasn't the worst our wing play from both sides was awfull & definately my choice for our poor performance.

Walker on his 2nd half performance was MOM the rest pants

We are definately missing Rodri, he passes through them & sweeps up when teams break.

I can see both Nico & Stones starting next week with Dino moving fwd with Kev & Gundagun either side..

Walker & Mendy at fullbacks Ouch!! With Sterling & Mahrez supporting Aguero.
 
And if your eyes were working when you were reading, which I'm sceptical of at this stage, you'd find that many seem to have similar points of view.

So yeah, looks like you just don't have anything to contribute.

I am another who would not want to discuss football with you.

Bollocks as usual,it's never fortunate for a player to get injured and sergio was sandwiched in trying to get to endless crosses designed for players several inches taller

As for gundy,i hope dinho is back in his proper position on sunday as gundy will not stop counter attacks,he doesn't even try really

Why would a manager like Pep Guardiola, a manager who's on record as saying he will never play anyone who doesn't try, play Gundogan, if he doesn't try?

We are very open when he plays,i know he is not dinho or rodders but he can't be excused for never sticking a foot in and breaking up a counter,pep loves him for his other skills,fair enough but at the moment we need a more gritty performance from him,if dave can get stuck in then so can he,every manager has a fav player and he is pep's but he shows a real blind spot to keep playing him,dave and rodders, when fit ,together,on sunday we need someone to break up their counter,he won't do it so i hope dinho is back in the middle
