17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[CΛL]

Come off what? What the fuck have you been watching?

What is he creating, other than chances for the opposing team with his mishit passes and inability to get the ball under control.

 

[Blue2202]

Shouldnt be anywhere near starting the last two games. Sentiment has cost us enough already, he's just a passenger now. The problem is Pep has been so persistent with him others have barely played and aren't in form either.

Literally put Oreilly and Echeverri through on goal bro. Even if you were right, everyone else is even more shit.

 

[Blue2202]

To fair he did help us get back in the league game against Palace

Over a month ago, not done much since. Woeful today, worst of the lot.

 

[shemnel]

Was ok today, set up Haaland, OReilly and Echeverri, and had a 20 yard pop just wide. In fact probably the 3rd best player for City?

 

[snorky]

Kev is one of our greatest, and I am shitfaced and I don't give a fuck

No

 

[blueballs84]

Sad way to see it end without a trophy.

I don't think I've seen ever seen an elite player decline so rapidly though.

Doesn't even look 1/10 of the player he was just 18 months ago.

 

[shemnel]

No

Who was better? Who created more?

 

[Dazzle84]

Baffling decision to play him for 100 mins. These games he's playing are painful - everyone is sad that he's going because he can't do it anymore - problem is we're being shown that every week

He was horrendous mate. His inability to even control simple passes into him was sad to watch from the great man. In the last 2 games he’s played about 3 good balls out of a ridiculous amount of possession. Like watching Bruno Fernandes where by the law of averages he’ll get the odd one right eventually with basically a free pass to do what he wants on the ball

 

[decmancity]

The final pass is still there majority of the time but his game was built on power and tearing down midfields and defences, that is what's deserted him.

Palace players went past him with ease today.

It was like watching Steven Ireland in Kompany’s testimonial

Its not. It really isn’t. Its there 1 in 6 at best. Gave it away so often with even simple 5-10 yard passes.

His work rate is top but he’s lost the quality on the ball.

 

[skillman]

Another post-game interview in which he’s hinted at moving to another team in England. Shame it’s got to the point where childish public comments are happening week after week.

Unless he’s taking a massive wage cut and it’s a mid-table side then can’t imagine a top, top team is going to pay top whack for a player so obviously done at this level.

Final pass is there, just about - I’m not sure if it actually is or whether it’s because he’s the only fucker in the side who dares to play one. But nothing else is now. Unfortunately. Best I’ve ever seen in a City shirt but so obviously time to pass the baton.

 

[Taylor]

Still has a final ball in him, however he played 5 dreadful passes second half.

It's not good enough from the club captain after losing a cup final. End of story.

I agree, he was piss poor. But I’m saying without him, regardless of how poor he is, there is zero creativity if he doesn’t play.

I cant understand how he has lost the ability to kick the ball cleanly. I can understand his pace going, his burst, but his technical ability was so superior to pretty much everyone and it’s gone. Weird, you shouldn’t really lose that. I dont get it.

That’s why this summer is so important. We need top quality. Kev isn’t it anymore but still our most potent provider which is why we’re fighting for 5th.
