17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

Didn't think he was great today tbh but the guy makes things happen regardless. That's why he's the best midfielder on the planet. Brilliantly effortless goal.

I feel like he's taking things a bit easier since Erling arrived at the club, in terms of him running the show and carrying the team. That's probably a good thing for his longevity. Save the scruff of the neck performances for the big games.

Just seen his goal. Cracker

Awful game? KDB created 5 of our 7 chances.

- Grealish great pass, Grealish decides not to shoot passes back to KDB who's shoot would've been a goal but a defender deflected it.
- Haaland's penalty comes from KDB run in behind and good pass to Haaland.
- Haaland's best chance other than his goals came from a KDB pass.
- Mahrez sitter comes from KDB run and pass.
- His brilliant goal.

How can you say that a player that creates 5 clear chances and scored a goal was awful? KDB is not at his best, that's clear, and still he is the leader in assists, goals created, key passes, chances created, runs in the PL with a significant margin in most of those areas. Again, not only the leader for Man City in all those areas, but for the PL. Add to that that he has one of the best shoots from outside the box so he is a constant danger for the opposition. If he was awful, then who played well? Or who created more? Or in general who creates more? Some of our fans are ridiculously unfair with KDB.

Spot on

my advice for KDB : it's time to leave Man City for another club where you will get the appreciation you deserve

Wonderful goal and generally good on the ball. But bloody hell does he look tired or what?!

I really don’t want him to go to the World Cup.

It was time he retired from international football after the Euros last year. It’s too much for him now at his age with all the terrible injuries he’s had in his career.

Since those Euros, the two injuries he got in them, the operation, he’s physically looked like he’s aged five years in one year. The ability is still there obviously, he’s still a fantastic football player, but he looks fatigued in games like his body and fitness levels are a struggle for him at this level now.

It’s going to end his career a year or two earlier than world football deserves.

Kev, please retire from international football!

World class goal.

About it though, poor otherwise.

Last week KdB was partly blamed by Pep for the Salah goal and yesterday we were told "He can improve". Unusual for Pep to publicly criticise any of his players.
