#8 | Ilkay Gündoğan - 2020/21 Performances

I know he's not loved on here as far as effort is concerned, but I was interested in this year's UEFA CL report to read that of all City's players it was Gundogan that clocked the highest average distance ran per game.

Also came top for ball recoveries and pass total fwiw.

He's a top player. We have a pocket of posters who take every single opportunity to lambast certain players and he is one. I think it's a deep shame that a player of this quality is so unjustly called on here.

The Gundogan we should be watching every week, not the slow, lazy, half-hearted, uninspired, wimpy shadow we've ended up with.

I like Gundogan - but he's not a "destroyer." Instead he's a very gifted linking midfielder with the ability to come in from deep and to provide another potent scoring option - but if we need a fast, energetic holding midfielder to rapidly win the ball back when we turn it over and to provide excellent cover for our backfield - Gundogan is not that player at all.

Unfortunately, the only such player we have is nearing retirement age - and it's amazing he's playing for us this year given his age.

Silence is deafening.

Silence is deafening.

Yep. Bastards don't even have the heart to say a good word after a great performance and then they call themselves supporters. Never seen them actually supporting a player but hey what do I know.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

He’s a much better player than many give him credit for.

In terms of technical ability, he’s right up there with the best in our squad.

 

[RobMCFC]

He had a good game tonight. Pretty comfortable for him and Rodri against a poor Marseille side, but they controlled the midfield so that’s to their credit.

 

[WallyA]

Great game, adding more and more goals to his game. Can be clutch for us.

 

[Ric]

Very good again tonight. Looked much better in a more advanced role. Long may it continue.
