Many Sky Blues weren’t impressed with the performance of Ilkay Gundogan in the 0-0 draw on Saturday Afternoon against Southampton in the Premier leaque.
Manchester City came into the game having scored 17 goals in our previous four outings, but were frustrated by the Saints’ spirited performance at the Etihad Stadium.
Statistically City dominated but lacked their normal cutting edge, perhaps underling Guardiola’s point in midweek that his players would go into the Saturday encounter tired after their Champions League exertions.
Our best opportunity fell to Ilkay Gundogan, who headed over unmarked from six-yards after being picked out by Walker’s precise cross. Should have put City ahead in the first half with a close range header.
Many Sky Blues supporters didn’t seem impressed with his largely quiet performance today and believe they have seen him perform much better in the past.
He’s had better games for City, but the German gave away the ball far too often, and was far from his calm, precise best that has made him such am important figure for Guardiola.
Missing a big chance, Gundogan’s few shots off target also highlight his lack of edge in the attacking areas today (SofaScore).
Some Man City fans took to social media to express their feelings on the 30-year-old’s performance.
Gundo fooled us all with his quarter season purple patch una
