Ilkay Gundogan

Have you watched any of our games this season? Genuine question.


Every single game.

Not that I need to justify myself.

If that post goes against your take then that it is absolutely fabulous.

We are entitled to one.
 
Strangely enough. I think Dihno switches to RB. But based on performance, KDB has been 3rd best so far. But he'd start banging in goals soon and all that will be elementary.

Positionally, @Proy is right Silky Ilkay is best at the position Silva currently plays, and he is a better all round CM than David probably is. But David is probably currently better than KKev at the slightly more advanced role.

But Kev brings an edge that no one else brings. I'm thinking Dihno moves to RB.

I'll be called out for it I know, one is already trying it.

It's absolutely clear to me that David is currently playing in the same position that we bought Gundogan for.

There are variations that could see Dave keep his place and somebody else misses out, but I'm struggling to see who.

Time will tell on this one. Let's come back in 6 months.
 
I'm hoping to see Fernandinho get a chance to play in one of the advanced midfield roles, think he'd be devastating as part of the attack.

I also think Gundogan would be better at doing the job that Fernandinho is currently doing simply because his vision and range of passing is superior to Fernandinho's.

It's fun trying to second guess Pep.

This was my initial. View very early in the summer, until Pep started confusing me with his unconventionaltialisms. Now I m pretty mushed. Now I just sit back and enjoy :)

But yes, Gundogan at the base, Silva pulling strings and Dihno playing the press general high up will be devastating.

Frankly, Ilkay at the base of a team with Delph, Dihno, Sterling and Logo as the 4 ahead of him might actually be our most devastating team for pressing the ball. I can see us crush a few good teams with that lineup. Imagine a City lineup without its 3 best players might turn out a masterclass.

This is going to be great.
 
I'd say Sterling, Nolito, Silva, Fernandinho and Kolorav have all had better starts to the season than Kev so far.
Yes I was speaking inbthe context of the central 3 midfielders and who likely gets moved for Ilkay. So 'kev being 3rd best' Simply meant he has been the weakest of the 3 so far.

I wasn't talking about the team as a whole.

I'm trying nothing. I'm telling you I don't think Silva will be making way anytime soon in the starting 11.

Fair do's.
 
Phew! :-)

You've been straight fella. You voice your opinion and tell it straight. Like I did. I respect you for that.

It's the fuckers who leave cryptic messages when they have a difference of opinion that annoys me.

This is a forum. We discuss and often disagree.

When you do (not referring to you), just fucking say what your thinking.

It pisses me right off.
