İlkay Gündoğan

He was okay

 

[Gnidrologist]

He didn't "dominate", but he is one of the few players that has brains and 'la pausa' ability to assess what's happening what better to do next. Problem is that he is old and slow so he can get overwhelmed easily by younger and faster players. That could be mitigated by great system of interplay, which we have not. With DeJong and Pedri, who have the similar level of brains and decision making, he should've feel comfortable, but unfortunately Xavi just isn't capable of creating any system at all, therefore all our best players, no matter how individually astute they might be, seem 'just okay' at best.

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

He had been a massive let down for me and is fast becoming the midfield version of Lewandowski. Has the same quick aging stocky body type as well. It's sharply downhill from here.

Hopefully his wages are not extortionate enough for him to be shipped in the summer. Don't even think a new manager can save him as Father Time is against him. SELL.

He is your second/third best player this season. 10 G/A so far, all of them decisive. And thats while playing deeper to help with ball circulation.

He has been good and has done what club signed him for.. its not his fault when dont have a DM etc.

FDJ and Gundogan have been the best two by a long way.

 

[Temptation]

Don't know what people are talking about. Gundogan has been great for Barca this season.

What were you expecting? KDB? Xavi? You were expecting the wrong things. Gundogan is not a talismanic type of figure. He's a very well rounded midfielder who's smart and has a knack of chipping in with clutch goals. He scores around 10 goals a season. Most of them pretty important ones. That's Gundogan.

 

[Barcaman]

Son commented how fat he looks.

Tbf to Gundo, he does have the face of a fat person. The chubby Turkish face can be misleading.

It's the body constitution. Short legs.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Gundo was always surrounded by 3 Bilbao players so Frenkie could not pass to him. Both are the only players who can survive the pressure from the oppenent, EV knew that so he deactivated the heart of Barca. No F&G = no party.

[JamDav1982]

Too many games for a player of his age.

7 away games in 21 days and not even being able to rest him fully v no marks in cups as cant even beat them convincingly.

They could both be on 9 games in 28 days soon. That is absurd.

FDJ and Gundo are being flogged and shite signings like Romeu are having further impact than his awful performances and can barely rest others.

EV knew last night could put three men on them and Kounde/Araujo/Balde could be shown ball and targeted.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Great match from Gundo!

 

[BJJ]

He must be wondering why he came to such a dysfunctional and disorganised club. Absolute contrast with City.

 

[vuji_31]

Only midfielder in our team that you can except him to score, assist, and control the game.

Every other lacks some part of this game.
