17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

[K-Bo]

stop shooting at a certain point, if every single one is miles off target, pass the ball.

It's not about Kev, age still is the thing in football...

Needs to be rested more, doesn't matter he accepts that or not...

He is 31.5 now, Aguero was same age - when the club decided to let him go, even though still could score some amazing goals and etc.

Our worst player today. At his age and with his injury history, today should have been a day where he was nicely rested ahead of the CL game.

This is either a joke or you’re a generation Alpha.

Neither , I’m a 40 year old man who’s just watched one of the highest paid players in the league not be able to pass the ball, have about ten shots off target and not be able to run for the last 20 mins

 

[Turner92]

His drop off has been massive can barely do a 5 yard pass these days shouldn’t be starting for us anymore

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

He wasn’t great on Wednesday either bar the chip …. Sorry he will never be mentioned in the same breath as Colin Bell or David Silva by me.

Unless we’re on the counter and he gets a second wind, he basically just stops running from around the 70th minute. It’s a bit like Toure in his final years, you know there’s a moment of magic in those boots, but when you need all players heading up and down the park, you’d be better turning to the bench.

Frustrating, but I think he had a good game. Some good runs, some really good crosses that should have ended in goals (Rodri twice and Laporte) and good combinations with Phil. Gis shooting was awful though. Tough match

 

[Akira]

Dross. The shooting aside, even the passes he attempted were not coming off for him.

And Yaya was 32 in the 15/16 season when his ability to get up and down the pitch effectively for a full game really fell apart. It's definitely a concern.
