Problem wasn't KDB.. we need our fullbacks ASAP..

These three centre-backs and young lewis aren't delivering as much as Cancelo-Walker duo delivers,
which means that opponent has 2 less players to worry about and therefore, dedicate all the concentration
and effort to stop other ones..

I wouldn't play Bernardo and Grealish together, both of them are great to control the ball, but in terms of creating chances no.. You should have either Gundo-Grealish or Bernardo-Foden, so that in the final third you had enough players to make you attacks more dangerous..

Today we had Haaland, KDB and Mahrez.. Everton with a bit of luck, managed to stop that.. If we had Gundo and Cancelo and Foden in addition to that, maybe we have created and scored more..

KDB delivered more than enough this season already, he can't be perfect in every fucking game..

There is a difference between expecting him to be 'perfect' every game and expecting him to be at least basically competent. That was one of the worst performances I've seen from a City player in while.

The problem with Kev, is that when he's bad, he's bloody awful.

I think it's fair to be disappointed with him today, he's still the best player in the league and we still love him.
 
being overplayed. How on earth he stayed on for the whole match was baffling. I know he’s capable of one moment of magic but it really didnt look like it would happen for him today and he gave it away so many times.

I think the reason he was kept on, was because he's had plenty of those games this season, but then managed to create one moment of magic

That didn't happen today, so we are just left with a shit performance
 
Too much reliance on him to do everything. When you looked at the lineup today, where did you see the goals/chances coming from? It was only ever really going to be kdb supplying Haaland or we create virtually nothing all game, we got the latter.

If we wasn't so reliant on him being the difference maker everytime he touches it, he might not be so poor when he's off it, he knows the others aren't likely to step up, a seriously shit and off his game kdb is still our best hope of creating a chance, that's an issue for the team, others need to start contributing or Pep needs to get players in the side that do.
 
Not at his best today, he misplaced passes and gave away possession more than usual.

Are we managing his time as well as we could ? He should’ve come off earlier against the dippers and when we were 3-0 up at Leeds
 
After being flogged to death with Rodri for 3x 90 mins in 9 days, I can imagine both of them have now got their work cut out now that we have actually got some tough games over the next couple of weeks
