It’s obvious. Consistency. Those figures camouflage massively fluctuating performances.4 assists in 7 matches since the world cup including a man of the match performance in the very first game against the scousers.
The team as a whole isn't playing at our top level, I don't really know what you are expecting more from him?

Very good as always.
What excuse do the others have then who have no figures and also fluctuating performances.It’s obvious. Consistency. Those figures camouflage massively fluctuating performances.
Remember the statistician with his head in an oven and feet in a bucket of ice? “On average I feel fine”.
Whether he’s in good enough shape to deliver more consistently is another matter.

It was a question not a deflection.Good attempt to deflect (well moderate anyway) but I was answering your specific point about KDB.
Dave is ripping it up still !He's sadly on a similar path to David Silva as he got older. The magician wasn't creating his magic so often and it's the same with Kev. As somebody mentioned his stats are decent but his overall play has dipped. He gives the ball away a fair bit and his stamina is waning. Our midfield needs a refresh in the summer but where do you get another Kev and David Silva?
Now you are deflecting to BM.It was a question not a deflection.
I don't believe there is any issue with Kev, he is the only one in midfield delivering any assists or performances (outside of Rodri) but now all of a sudden there is an inquisition into his fitness and mental state. Only on BM.

He has done really well there tbfNot exactly,if he was he'd still be here. He's doing okay in Spain where their league isn't as intense.
I am using my eyes, then backed it up with stats. If you want to hold up some different standard then you are welcome to do so.Now you are deflecting to BM.
Use your eyes. Kev’s fitness/injury issues have been apparent for a lot longer than the last couple of months.
His worst performances recently have arguably been his worst ever in a City shirt. Has he ever given the ball away so often?
It’s amplified by the fact that Grealish has taken a long time to settle, Gundo’s not on great form, Bernardo and Foden are out of form and favour, Phillips is persona non gratis and Gundo’s maybe past his peak.
He‘s still a world beater on his day. Nobody can deny that. But I can’t think of anyone else whose performances fluctuate so wildly.
