United FA Cup final (N) | Man of the Match

[Kirkstall Blue]

Gundogan what a star two goals, the first goal was a great strike the second one just when we needed it and disappointing they ran out of medals on the day he didn’t get one

Has to be Gundo. Two crackers & nearly a hat-trick, when we were perhaps not at our best overall.
If this was his last game in England for us, it was quite a way to bow out !

Obviously has to be Gundo. But having watched the match back with the sound and the fury of being in the stadium having passed — in a sense, watching it properly for the first time — by God but John Boy was brilliant. How has he become this skilled midfielder? He always looked comfortable on the ball as a defender but he's gone to a whole other level. Even taking shots from outside the box (his one shot was on course to join the orbiting satellites, tbf)!
Cast your minds a long way back. Like so many who come to City, he was getting a fair amount of flak on here in his first season. He would play a good match, marred by a horrendous mistake in the middle of it. Strictly as a defender, he has ironed that out of his game almost completely, and added another string to his bow.
Pep is the supreme pedagogue. He sees potentialities in players that they don't see themselves. How are we going to replace that guy? Answer is we aren't.
No, I think all in all, my vote must go to Johnny, Johnny Stones. By the way, he loves that song coming down from the stands.

Taking nothing away from Gundogan and stones. But after watching the reactions of PEP and obviously what it ment to him.
If I could I would vote for the genius.
Monday 12.00 noon and I've not seen a single RAG shirt. Obviously we've put them back in their box.
THE CITY IS BLUE CTID

Wont change my vote from Ilkay but having just watched the match back how well did John Boy play? Eccles Blue must have been particularly proud

Stones.

Gundo's goals were vital obviously,but John was dynamite.....he just bossed the game.

This post is worth a "like" for the use of the word "pedagogue".

I thought a bit about using that word. Was worried that some might misread, or misunderstand it …

I don't know why BUT that goal by Ilkay Gundogan 12 seconds in the FAcup final does for me,
Can it get any better, I don't think it can.

Also it killed United Stone dead, their fans were beaten and waved the white flag, even the SOS VAR pen only made the pain worst for them because Ilkay Gundogan did it again only this time it was the stake in the heart,


they will talk about that moment forever, MANCHESTER CITY BEST MOMENT IN A DERBY
