17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2023/24

His workrate was excellent but that killer cross or ball was never on show yesterday.

Aside from the one he put on a plate for H that you or I would have buried.

I think Kev should be given a deeper role using his quarter back skills to deliver killer passes. Having him chasing down full backs is an utter waste of his remaining games for us.

A deeper role will require even more energy and workrate. Look at how much ground Bernado needs to cover when he plays next to Rodri. It will kill kev. Kev needs to play close to the box

Makes sense as to why he didn’t come on as the game was crying out for him second half.

Why the hell even on the bench then ?

Should be nowhere near the team for Bournemouth give him the extra rest ..

Because he's better looking than Scott Carson.

Agreed, we need him fit and feeding Haaland in March.

It keeps the opposition manager and coaches on their toes, keeps the opposition players wary. Having him on the bench as opposed to out the squad is about marginal gains. If the Brentford players were told he was not in the squad before KO it’d have given them a boost.
Was a good decision.

Chelsea was a slog on a very wet and probably heavy surface. Hes probably really feeling that. Good hes aware and being managed. Kid gloves cos we need him v the rags, dippers, arsenal.
