KDB is awesome when fit - unfortunately he's a glass cannon.

 

[Dialog]

No way kev will survive in Saudi Arabia. Pale skin, ginger hair, he'll look like a boiled lobster after 10mins in the sun.

I laughed so hard reading your post, because that's so true. I am gonna lie.

He has won a lot. His such a special player.

 

[Frankie lad]

He had an off game and got a bit mouthy with Pep.Prior to he was ripping it up.
KDB could operate in a circle of three metres in diameter and still be the best player in the league.
For sure if we are to do it again or even come close KDB is pivotal.
IMHO it wont happen without the guy.

He was poor the week before in the derby too. He’s brilliant but does look to have lost a yard or 2. Understandable at 32 and after all his injuries. Would have more chance with him obviously but certainly wouldn’t write us off without him, we’ve done very well over the years in many big games without him.

Kdb could go on like pirlo for another 3 years easy as he doesn’t need to be the fastest player when he can ping 50 yard precision passes . Players like kdb go on for ever because the ball never gets tired and that is their pace

Was much better coming on as a sub when returning that during his starts, luton aside.

More often than not he's taken his time to recover his full match speed/fitness.
The good thing is we know it's about to arrive at some point soon.

 

[applejuice]

We need to find a way to control the game more if he wants Kev to play more meaningful game time. No good for his legs playing a basketball game like Vs Chelsea or Liverpool

Fit, hopefully.

Let's hope he puts in a similar performance to last season's home game against Arsenal.

 

[TrentGrisham]

We desperately need a big performance from him on Sunday. He came back with his hair on fire but has been underwhelming versus Chelsea, United, and Liverpool.

He has been carrying an injury , him and pep say, stop thinking he is superman

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

He's not the same player he was anymore.. the pace is gone. Last year he was running past Arsenal's defense and this year not even close.

Love him but I think we need a younger player as a 10.

 

[TrentGrisham]

He looked so slow out there... Came back with his hair on fire, but has been poor versus Liverpool, Chelsea, United, and Arsenal now.

So why did he start again ? I'd rather bring him on later against tired defenders.

 

[Trojan1962]

Surprised he stayed on the pitch. I would have kept Phil on.

 

[decmancity]

The only one who drove forward with the ball, delivered the best chances we had e.g. Ake. No one else looked as interested as he did at actually taking it to those fuckers.

Same here as I have said on a number of occasions. I would play Foden in his position against stronger teams and have KDB ready for the 2nd half/last 30 mins, except against weaker teams where perhaps he and Foden can play centrally together ahead of Rodri.

Not sure he would accept it but think it's for the best at the moment.
