Genuinely what can be done to get tus in line with the clubs ambitions to be the best in Europe. Last night was I admit it I cannot be arsed with this I am up at 5.30 today and fucked off at 9.30. Loads were exiting also btw. I am as guilty as charged I just have no interest in it, can't even explain it. Mates said as I left not like you. I have no regrets and if I never attended another CL game as it stands I would not bat an eyelid.

The truth is he unbalances the midfield because he does hide from the pass rather than actively present himself for it like the two Silva.
Fern gets left with far too much to do on his own.

I've just watched the first half back due to this post and I'm sorry but that's completely inaccurate, Gundogan was showing for the ball far more often than either Silva.
Walker and Delph were horrendous, bad decision making and sloppy passing, Walker particularly guilty on the passing front. Fernandinho and Laporte guilty of some really sloppy stuff too.
Couple of occasions I'd be critical of Gundogan was on one attack he passed backwards when we were well placed to work a clear chance and on another occasion he was outmuscled for the ball in the centre which led to a counter. No hiding.

But he is the current whipping boy. If he has a good perfomance it doesn't get a mention as others will be highlighted but if he blinks in the wrong direction he gets slaughtered for it.
I felt the team and the manager got it wrong v Lyon and yes I wouldn't have played Gundo alongside Fern. I would actually have rested Fern and played Gundo in his role.The individuals just made too many simple errors and leading the way were Fern , Walker , Laporte, Delph and even Merlin!

Not really. He had a good match the other week and everyone was sucking him off.
People are allowed an opinion on him without him being the "whipping boy". FFS is he being booed like Edgy? Is he getting the stick Goater got when he first signed? Is he getting verbal abuse from the first row like Kolarov every match? No.

When was this?
Nobody is stopping anyone having an opinion or voicing that opinion. Nobody suggested he is getting verbal abuse at games either.

Of course 24 hours later it's still there and of course City deserve plenty of criticism for a weak performance but the stand out player wherever I have looked for getting abuse , criticism , whatever you want to call it is Gundo ( with a bit of Jesus thrown in). 3 City fans websites, twitter wherever. You might not like the phrase whipping boy but that's how I see it .
