What does "Gundogan" actually do?

[FA cup winners 2006]

Am i the only one who thinks Gumdogan has been playing well. Carries the ball very well. Two excellent quick feet. Always has his head up looking for a man. If its on he drives forward, if not he will turn back and keep possession. He is just getting used to where his teammates are around him. Once he settles into that familarity and works on his finishing, he will be has effective as yaya was for us over the last 5 years

He had a quieter game but he is improving. A very tidy player who hopefully will become capable of more. To me Saturday highlighted our main difficulty(apart from the cup for cockups) and that is we are weak and weedy. Romeleu, the worst technical player on the pitch dominated the game, kicked Kev out of it and made sure we didn't break through midfield without a battle. Pep doesn't seem interested in this type of player if current transfer rumours are to be believed. He may even have been behind Barry's being sold which would be a tad frightening if true. The Premier league is what it is and these players give us a hard time.

Fuckin idiots some of you. You can't actually read what's in front of you! No one has mentioned the basic errors that are being made in this thread. It's our attacking play that's been effected.

I'll break it down nice and simple for some of you:

Has our play slowed down (for whatever reason including he's just coming back from a long injury) - Yes

Since he's been starting has our system changed - Yes

Are the basic fuck ups that individuals are making that are costing goals Gundogan's fault - No

Is he a quality player - Yes

You can't argue that our attacking play has slowed down since he's come in.

This.


And this:

As I see it, the combination between Gundogan and Fernandinho hasn't really clicked yet. I think it will. If it doesn't for a while, they can be rotated for a bit, study the other's game and so on.

He's a good player but neither he - nor Fernandinho for that matter - are helped by an over-congested six-man midfield, a system none of our lads are used to, except perhaps Silva who has played it a little bit for Spain.

Thank you lads for saving me the time to type that.

Not all critical discussion is spoiled or knee jerk.

I think the main issue short term is that nolito had to make way. He reallly made things click imo.

Don't think Nolito making way had anything to with Gundogan's inclusion mate. Sanè has started the last two league games ahead of him.

On Gundogan, he hasn't hit his straps, he's not effecting games as well as he's capable of but I also think it's fair to say that Fernandinho and Silva's performance levels have dropped recently too and that ain't helping in the centre of the park.

[Beefymcfc]

2 goals, what more to say?

There is more to say. This guy can be our new Yaya, playing the game but at a more higher tempo. How old is this lad, 26-27 years old?

More than happy with him. Takes a while to integrate, he's just showing for the future.

Nolito played. Everybody happy.

Nolito is class. Unknown to me when he came in the summer, but I think he's going to be useful for the next few years.

[london blue 2]

Nolitos interplay is class but his temperament is questionable. Some smart blocks from a WBA perspective as well.

Gundo is class. He tires at about 70 mins though. Gotta be careful with better oppo.

[Blue In Bolton]

I think that he will be a real asset next season after having had a full season to acclimatise to the rigours of the Premier League.

He's better than Kolarov

He seems to fit in really well in Pep's system. Bargain

Two Stellas watching the game in Kennedys Bar with the hundreds of City fans ( well 2 of us really, the rest were asylum seekers coming in out of the cold , sharing a coke between them)

Followed by one glass of a light red Swiss red wine with home made pizza .Highly recommended!

I've started to go down the homemade pizza route now. They taste better than any dominos crap.

Of course they do and are easy to make . Keep seeing these programs on tv about people buying everything prepared for them at the supermarket. Awful food , stodge .

local eggs, meat and veg is all we get here . Even make my own pasta.

Its all shit!!!! Food made hundreds of miles away full of chemicals so they can transport it... Errr..... Fresh???? Yeah right!!! All these kind of places are shit. Them there Toby Caveries are the worst and folks just flock to them like sheep. A whole Sunday roast made down South and bagged up and just reheated by people who claim to be chefs.
