17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

[malg]

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.

He certainly wasn't awful.

Unusual? He did this with Leroy, Raz and Sergio and Gabby to a certain extend. He is using the same tactics against Kev now. Is he pushing out the last player he didn't sign?

Yes I am sure Guardiola is trying to push out the best midfielder in the world because he didn't sign him...

He certainly wasn't awful.

I've said a few times up the FOC eyrie in CBL3 - Kev's not on his game today, and then OOOOOOOH. a thunderbastard from outside the area, or a pass that totally eclipses the entire defensive back four and there's the man he was aiming for and it's 'tap' - goal!

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!

He wants to win World Cup so bad in lastest interview when given chance winning world cup or champions league, he rather win world cup over champions league. So there you go as long he thinks he is fit enough playing at higher level he will not retired at International Games.

Cheers. Always thought that was one of the finest performances i’ve ever seen from a City player

He certainly wasn't awful.

Even on his worst days, Kev is far from awful. He's a tremendous player.

 

[Kadour75]

That is simply stupendous. Very underrated and should be mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Zidane, Rivaldo, Scifo …as midfield legends.

The greatest.
