Kevin De Bruyne - 2016/17 performances

As with Aguero he is a square peg in Peps system. Great player gone backwards under Pep.

I'm a massive massive fan but this season been way below par.
Was worst player on the pitch last night by far.

The 1st half he looked like he was frightened of getting hurt and pulled out of tackles

Maybe he knows who Mbappe is RN. =)

Not the wisest comment lad.

has he gone yet

Don't know what's wrong with him but this season he's been well off the boil. Seemed to have more of a free role under Pellegrini

Like I said, the new Robinho.

Starting to think you may have a point here. That was as dross as I've seen him last night. Once again he goes missing in difficult circumstances.

The more i look at KDB the more I see him as our new Yaya both technically brilliant both can score goals both very important players. Now it seems that both only play when they want to play. KDB is getting to the stage were he thinks he is undropable and can play to whatever standard and he will always be picked in Peps team. Yet this season KDB has been a big disapointment for me. He should of kicked on again after a great first season but he hasnt. The last few weeks his form has dropped off from the edge of a cliff.

Maybe i am being harsh on KDB. I rate him highly but he aint showing much to Pep I wouldnt be shocked if PEP is looking at him and he will be the next player to get the kick up the arse and be dropped for a few games. IF Gundogan wasnt injured he be out of the team already with Yaya taking his position. Also I dont think he is a Pep player.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Harsh on Yaya. He's been brilliant in over 90% of his matches this season.

Perhaps he has played too much this season and requires a break; perhaps he's carrying an injury. With Gundogan injured, we simply don't have players that Guardiola rates as good enough to replace de Bruyne. However, from what we've seen before, the worry about running players into the ground like this is that it has a knock on effect in followings seasons.
