17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

[FromPollockToSilva]

He’s like Haaland. I’m not too arsed what else he does if he keeps creating goals every game

 

[01cravend]

Has these type of games quite often... seems to always contribute to our scoreline in them though so it's not a drama.

It is a testament to just how good Kev is that this was arguably his worst overall performances this season and he came out of it with two assists (leading the league).

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

KDB moves up to 7th for most assists in PL History

1. Ryan Giggs 162
2. Cesc Fabregas 111
3. Wayne Rooney 103
4. Frank Lampard 102
5. Dennis Bergkamp 94
6. David Silva 93
7. Kevin De Bruyne 92

It would be great if that stat also contained the number of appearances made too

I didn't think Kev had his best game today, but still he contributed with two assists. That is is great habit to have.

Football evokes various emotion and a lack of balance with some.

I recognise Kev's unique ability and genius but i can also see his flaws,which are becoming increasingly frequent.

His occasional brilliance,like the 2 assists today,is masking his overall contribution .

He was bobbins today for 85 mins,yet he won MOTM for many.....thats where we are at.

When he’s bad, he’s very bad - noticed it on Wednesday and was bewildered he got MOTM then. Today was on par.

That being said, though, he absolutely is the best player we have and his positives far outweigh his negatives. When he’s on it, which is more often than not, then he controls and wins a game by himself.

This is literally typical Kev lol.

And it's just who he is. If he creates a goal (assist or not, a goal we expect our players to finish regardless), then he is fantastic.

But if his passing is off, or he doesn't get chances to score either, then the rest of his game is analyzed and in comparison to Gundogan and Bernie is definitely inferior.

It's a trade-off. His 2 assists were trademark Kev crosses.

 

[bobom]

But if he hadn't had those two moments, we'd have been struggling at 1:1. It's not as if the rest of the team are creating chances on an industrial scale

 

[ninjamonkey]

Only needs moments. Overall game wasn't great but who cares when you're putting it on a plate after 55 seconds to put us in cruise control and then wrapping it up later on. Do that every game and I'll be delighted.

 

[wolfie1988]

Miles off it. Again. Holding on to the ball far too long and looks like he is running out of puff.

Two assists though so, today, it really doesn't matter.
