Hardly surprising, he is carrying that midfield

Could KDB have said no to Belgium?Belgium playing Kevin in the EUROs with ankle ligament tears and pumping cortisone in is the reason Kevin isn't able to deliver his best for us at the moment. He's lost some sharpness temporarily as a result. Suggesting he's on the decline is a comment that might come back to haunt you - if you know what I mean.
The answer is yes, he wanted to play for his country so your argument is void.
KDB last season for the player he is was average, he was very ordinary at times with flashes or pure brilliance.
His performance away at Arsenal was magnificent, he was unplayable, but since then we have seen decline.
No one is doubting his ability, but physically he looks done, and both club and player needs to seriously think where and what needs to be done, otherwise his career at he very top level will be over.
I would love to see him taken out of the firing line, even if it means losing him for 1/2 a season, because I fear without some R&R we have seen the best of KDB.
Sorry but that simply is not true, Laporte knew exactly what he was doing, terrible, lazy defending and he was forced into having to take out Zaha.Just seen sending of again disgracefull decision!
In the rules he WAS the last man and hence a straight red.
Marvin he has had major injury issues for the last 4 seasons, lets not forget he was not available during the fourmidables rum in, Bernardo came in and was magnificent.I suggested KDB had a major issue last season but he recovered so I don't see why he wont do the same this season.
KDB's injury/ fitness issues have a long history.
Unless the club get a grip of them, his days at the very top of the pile could be over.
He had given 10 years incredible service had become one of the leagues greatest players in history BUT he was finished.Absolutely fucking atrocious to let him leave for free and not be replaced. One of the worst decisions we've ever made.
The criminal part was the club were fully aware that a replacement would be needed up to 2 year previous, not to identify and recruit has simply not been good enough, terrible performance from the Execs.
But we do have history of not replacing vital positions.

KDB has been out of sorts since coming back from injury at the tail end of last season. I don't think he's really had a good patch since then. I'm still hoping for someone to step up like Ilkay did at the start of the year. We need more of that. Seeing our performances this season, it's crazy to see how we can be so excellent in one match and terrible in the next one. I still prefer this over our start last year. This time last year, all the flappers and moaners wanted most of the team sold.
Bernardo and Rodri have carried this team this season, but scarily but unsurprisingly they already look knackered as we witnessed yesterday.KDB has been out of sorts since coming back from injury at the tail end of last season.

When our best 11 is fresh, prepared and in the mood we are a magnificent side but the drop off is scary and there is no way we can retain the title unless we balance it out.

I am starting to think it is time for a rebuild of this team and a new manager since Pep looks like he is out the door in 18 months. As for this season to early to throw in the towel but it feels different from last year when I always felt we had that extra gear I fear we might get left behind.Bernardo and Rodri have carried this team this season, but scarily but unsurprisingly they already look knackered as we witnessed yesterday.

Laportes challenge was crap, but any competent ref would know Walker who is a yard away could easily overtake Zaha with his pace and put a tackle in
Laporte wasn't the last man it was 2 on 1.
Terrible reffereeing from a useless **** of a man
