#17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2021/22 Performances

[Phil1]

Said it in the match thread; his brain is a split-second ahead of his legs. Once he gets himself fully fit he'll be unplayable.

He always come back to form eventually but those getting up to speed games are nerve wracking.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Belgium with potentially just the one game - against France this Thursday, so I am sure Kev will be heavily involved.

It's the semi-final of the Nations League.

Final on the 10th Oct.

Edit: the 3rd place game is also this Sunday. Didn't realise there was one.

He's been crazy injured since the end of last season. Rudiger broke his face, got scithed down at the Euros, still played through it in the Euros. Only been in training for a month. He had some misplaced passes today yes, but damn he came good at the end. You know how many players blast those over the bar and into the Kop, amazingly clutch.

Only thing is I feel Pep shouldn't play him entire halfs in the midfield. Move him into the false 9 at in the second half and put someone with more legs in there. I would like to see Grealish more in the midfield in Gundos position.

It's scary. I hope to fuck I'm wrong, but it looks like he is done

 

[OB1]

Reasons like that goal is why you keep him on for the full 90

Yup. His ball to Foden was exceptional and then he runs from around half way to put the ball in the net.

He is one player that you allow to play his way back to form in the first team.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Very inconsistent. Moments of total shit followed by pure class. Whilst there's no gundogan he has to be on the pitch because he's one of the few that can produce from nowhere but the second gundogan is back, he's not guaranteed a place in the starting 11 with this kind of form. That might not be a bad thing. Just needs a period to regain fitness and find his rhythm.

 

[14aguero]

He has not been at his best for a long while. Since the March international break last season, he has had spells of injuries and has been inconsistent. He, though, is the one player in the squad who comes up with these magical moments. His goal away at Chelsea during the centurions season set up the league championship. Hopefully, this goal, although for a draw, would do the same this season.

 

[oldius]

He needs all our support, that's for sure, because playing so much after so many injuries has taken its toll.

He isn’t fully fit yet (not that he’s still carrying an injury, he’s just not up to top Premier League fitness levels yet), he looked absolutely spent in the second half today.

He did miss a fucking sitter with that header! He dived for the header two steps too early, bloody nutter!

But even with all that, he was so dangerous on the break second half in the game and scored the point winning equaliser (deflection or not).

Kevin has started only 2 league games so far, at Chelsea and Liverpool. He needs several games to get up to speed. Will be class again.
