17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2023/24

Fucking cheek moaning about coming off after that performance. Also clearly still a least a stone heavier than before his injury and it doesn't seem to be shifting

 

[akrh215]

Have to disagree. I think the mistake was to wait so long to take him (and Alvarez) off. If we had another decent out-and-out striker, Haaland would have likely come off, too.

I am biased when it comes to KDB because he is my favorite player.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

He is probably the best player ever to wear our shirt.

Sometimes he’s not going to be on it

Today was one of those days. However I would have kept him on as he only needs one pass/one shot that can win the game

Endo was closing him down at each touch. Kovacic responded better and calmed our midfield

Could of took any of the front players off today but I'll say it again point gained today.

Agreed. None were at the races, unfortunately.

And most of us would have probably taken a point if it had been offered before kickoff, so I am not complaining that much about the result, more just concerned about the seeming lack of fitness of some of our most important players going in to the final stretch of the season.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Tough call. Probably right. You can't have passengers, against Liverpool, at Anfield. That said, I've always got this in the back of my mind — Kev can have a rank poor game (and he's had plenty) and then produce something that you can't quite believe you saw. That must have been a temptation to Pep to keep him on.

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Not his game today.
Spent more time pushing his blonde (ginger) locks back than he did threading decent balls through.
He‘s got plenty of credit in the bank but perhaps a high intensity game at Anfield so soon after a bad injury was a game too much.
Recharge and come back as we know you can do Kev.

 

[Damien10]

Disappointed with his reaction. He couldn’t get back he looked knackered!

 

[eastmanc]

He'll be ok.

If i saw Alvarez playing absolutely dogshit and giving the ball away each time he got it... only to be taken off at the same time I'd have been angry too.

 

[Revolver]

Didn’t play well. Couldn’t argue with being subbed.

But no problem with him being annoyed. No
great playerlikes being subbed.

 

[Damien10]

Watching some of the second half back. He looked like he had ran a marathon.

 

[Kippax77]

Great against Luton not so today.
Please cut the mop Kev.
Everytime he tried to pull some pass off that didn't he was running his fingers through his barnet.

 

[sh249]

Pure frustration at his own performance. Miles off it.

 

[yeseye]

He’s not fit enough for 90 mins atm.

 

[Barcon]

Only a fanny would be happy about being substituted.

 

[Brewster's millions]

I would have been even angrier if Bernado stayed on instead of me as well, who did the square root of fuck all today.

That said De Bruyne really does need to get his hair cut.

 

[WestGorton]

Our best ever player possibly but a skinhead and shed a couple of pounds for me or is it the kit?. It makes a few look like that!

 

[Iassel]

As with Haaland he’s clearly nowhere near fit and worst of all he seems to be completely lacking the ability to create separation right now. He was never the quickest but he was able to turn away from his man and make half a yard to pick a pass but right now, understandably after a nasty hamstring problem he’s moving through quicksand.

Needs a long quiet summer that he won’t get with the euros.
