Experienced players have 'big responsibility' - Gundogan
Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan says the experienced players in the dressing room have a "big responsibility" to help the younger players and new signings through the difficult spell the club is enduring.
The 2-2 draw with Brighton on Saturday damaged their hopes of reaching the Champions League next season and Gundogan believes the onus is on him and others to get City over the line.
"I've been here several years and there are quite a few other senior players who also have a lot of experience," Gundogan said. "There's a responsibility.
"Even though we experienced mainly positive things together throughout almost every season and achieved things, we always knew that this point would come where things would get tougher.
"Everyone else is getting better. The hunger to beat us is just increasing.
"I don't think everyone else wants to see us winning every year so it's normal. It's a challenge, especially for players like myself who are experienced. We have a big responsibility, not just to the young players but to the new players who joined the club.
"They have joined us because they have seen us playing on TV and wanted to play with us. We need to try and expect the best from everyone every single day. It starts from training sessions."
