17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

[toffee balls]

Two bits of absolute quality won us the game but think it's time to accept he's lost that x-factor.

Right at the start of the second half, Haaland won it wide left and played in into Kevin for a one two in behind and Kevin underhit the pass by about 10 yards.

He used to make those passes in his sleep a few years ago but he just can't do it any more which is such a shame.

You should post more

Some of the disrespect on here to KDB.

Out of form yes perhaps, but finished absolutely not.

It’s an annual thing on here. Then he pops up with four goals at Wolves or a game like last night to shove their recency bias nonsense up their arse

Out of form yes perhaps, but finished absolutely not.

After last night I'm thinking of changing my description of him (a la the old Music Hall days) from 'KDB.. a smile, a through ball and an assist..' to 'KDB.. a smile, a through ball and a wag of the finger..'

Just when you think you couldn't love the guy much more, he does that with Arteta!

Come on, Kev.. guide us to a third in a row!

I completely disagree.

KDB sucks.

Just look at the stats.

Christ almighty! The guy needs to be benched!

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

8 more assists to equal the most in a Premier League season, 15 more games to play.

Excellent last night

He has been frustrating at times recently because he know the quality is there and nobody is better when he’s on it, we just need to see it as regularly as we once did.

But to me in the past couple of games it looked like he had a bit more fire in him and he needs that.

I expect him to kick on with his form now.

The usual......anonymous and a passenger for much,but a moment or two of brilliance.

Lol

It seems like he's judged by a different standard to other players for some reason. I guess it's a consequence of the incredibly high levels he has set in the past. He wasn't at his best in the first half (not many were) but improved after half-time and once again provided two big moments in our biggest game of the season so far.

I remember people writing him off last season and then he pretty much single handedly carried us to the title when Liverpool came from nowhere and were breathing down our necks. If we want to come out on top this season too we'll need KDB at his best and I'm confident he'll start to go through the gears now the stakes are getting higher.

I genuinely thought he was out with a pain in his jaw, possible tooth problems, and was at a dental surgeon.
Can't think where I heard this from

That'll be from all his whinging....
