I thought both he and Rodri worked very well tonight.They certainly look far more accomplished in the CL than as a pair in the PL.

3 very good games in a row now from Gundogan and popping up with vital goals. Gives us the control we miss from Silva’s absence. Hoping we see him in the 6 role with kdb and Bernardo/Foden infront of him once we’ve got everyone back fit, that’s how we start smashing these sides that are playing 5 at the back and making us struggle.

I thought he played really well tonight. Much prefer to see him closer to the oppositions box than ours.

Google feed brought up a story of him spending his birthday visiting the community giving something back and I saw a side that we never get to see.
Thought he played really well tonight and post covid he looks a bit lighter of frame.

Played well floating about much more, some nice intelligent flocks and got a goal. Good game

 

[KevinReed]

well played, just his tackles are still lightweight.

Agree. Against the top aggressive midfielders he cannot compete physically. He plays well when the opposing midfield is poor which was the case tonight. He is a good solid player but we need more from him if we are to beat the top teams...more creativity and goal assists. In my opinion we have to rely far too much on KDB to produce an end product... Gundogan and Rodri have to offer more when we are involved in a tight game and need some magic to get that game winning goal.

He looks to be lighter than he was before his illness, but a fitter look.
