17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

[eastmanc]

Poor again tonight. But again he wasn't on his own. He'll be alright.

 

[PragueBlue]

Great against Leeds and Liverpool, very poor against Everton and Chelsea.

I really don't like him playing up top though. He'll get loads of assists but not sure it's the right position for him or the team as a whole.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

I agree with Rodri though. KDB and Rodri are by far our most underrated when you compsre their output to the praise they receive from our fans. Gundogan, Sterling and Mahrez had moments when they were really poor for a long time. With KDB and Rodri they can have 3 exceptional matches and 1 poor one and it's terrible.

Anyway, what is important is that some of our other offensive olayers kmprove soon so KDB can be rested, whether he needs it or he is playing poorly.

Thankfully Rodri normally has about 15 great games before having a poor one these days.

The same cant be said with Kevin, its a coin flip this season whether he will be world class or it will be like playing with 10 men. That is a big gamble to take each week.

Looks overweight. Is a yard slow.

Injuries and time catching up with him?

 

[MikeF]

On his day, he’s up there but fuck me, he’s having a bit of a stinker at the mo.

Age is catching up with him and Gundogan but he still has genius in him and has still been out best player in 2 of the last 4 games. We are too heavily reliant on him.

 

[wolviedinho]

Pathetic. Again.

Needs to have a look at himself before the Derby

Fucking hell!

Ran his bollox off. Clearly struggling to hit the early season form.

Who needs enemies eh?

 

[Silva2021]

Like to see fully rested before OT.

 

[Stelea]

He was the only one running at the end.

 

[SamTheGuru]

He will take it on the chin. I think this year will be his year. Just a hunch...

 

[wolviedinho]

No retort to the actual argument is very telling. If you prefer replace Pogba with Arsenal Ozil, the same argument applies.

Hahahaha

What a whopper. Worst troll so far this year.

Can’t stop laughing that you actually posted comparing Ozil to Kev. Go home rag.

 

[Akira]

Dreadful first half. Got a wee bit better second half, mostly towards the end. Unlucky his cross wasn't hooked in by Haaland.

I think he might need a rest.

Lmao did I touch a nerve?

Neither you nor the other guy have given any argument about Kevin's terrible defensive workrate or the fact we have to play him in the front two to try and accommodate this.

As I said before, Kevin is uncriticisable for a lot of posters, apparently I am a troll for doing it ffs.

 

[supercity88]

Should have scored from the Bernardo cut back and should have had an assist but Haaland was a bit slow to react for once!

Not quite on it still, but class is permanent.

Touched a nerve? It’s a forum mate, wise up.

Kev can and does receive criticism for his up and down performances. What I won’t tolerate is the stupid comparisons you made. Also, he works his ass off whether he is playing good or not.

So take your trolling back to sadcafe. Well done you managed to talk shite and got called out for doing so. Keep up the stellar work.

You won't tolerate it? XD

It's a forum, I can post whatever I want to.

Perhaps use late City career Yaya Toure as comparison if Pogba or Ozil are too triggering for you.

Criticism where it's due. Kevin has not reached the standard he reached last season v Wolves! But having said that you cannot leave him out. I watched the highlights on the OS this morning and noticed yet again, for a player not reaching his usual high level he galloped away from one CFC defender and carried the ball deep into Chelsea territory. And where did Jack get that pass from? He didn't bring it from Villa - he's watched Kevin do it hundreds of times! He might not be on the level currently we expect but his presence on the pitch is vital. The spark will reignite the fire and defenders won't have a clue when!

I am done with this nonsense. Spout away, if you can’t handle a poster calling you out for trying to be edgy but in reality you sound like a grade A twat. How can you be bothered posting such nonsense? You must have something better to do? Maybe go for a walk and think about how you have got yourself into this situation.

I wish you success and hope you find the problem. As for your football knowledge…well let’s just say you have none. Thanks for the thrilling discussion. Made my day!

Of course we can leave him out. We absolutely should not be playing him every week, he should be rotated and fresher for when we need him.

He’s played 10 full 90 minutes in 17 Prem games this season, two further games where he’s only been subbed on 88 minutes, started 16 of 17 Prem games, played a part in every Prem game (the one rest he got he still came on for 25 minutes)… that’s not good use of a 31 year old who’s had a career plagued by bad injuries and who has looked absolutely knackered and even very poor at times this season.

He should be in the Chariman’s Suite with his feet up on a chair on Sunday.

Is this satire?

You went and had a meltdown because I referenced a player in my post and I am the one who needs to go for a walk!?

Give your head a wobble and either discuss the FOOTBALL or put me on ignore as I don't care about reading your deranged personal comments.
