17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[RayCTID]

A little bright spot in the overall result even though the title is near enough over at this stage hopefully there is something left in the tank.

Has Pep said why he didn’t come on until 75 mins? He was warming up from half time. He kept looking at Pep, but the call didn’t come for ages.

Is it fitness or the naughty step?

Give him the Messi role. Let him walk about but get him the ball in dangerous areas.

Did more in 10 minutes than anybody else on that pitch today. All by essentially being stationed at right wing.

You need players that are willing to do the running for him off the ball.

He's another that looks finished physically. I don't see how he starts anywhere other than false 9.

Agree he’s past his best physically but actually think he could still be very good a bit deeper. He’s lost that burst to play higher up in terms of going past people. Still far from a cart horse though. He’d look electric against our midfield 3! His range of passing and physicality could help us at the moment a bit further back in the team.

We all know KDB isn’t the player he once was but he doesn’t need to be if his competition is Gundo. Bernie and Rico.

You're right, he did more in 10 mins, but was gassed for the rest of the time he was on the pitch

Only bright spot today. Clearly rusty but still produced some great moments and created a good few chances in 20 mins he was on.

60 mins on Tuesday then ready for the dippers
