He's not really like Iniesta at all though, doesn't play like him, doesn't have the same strengths and plays a completely different role for Pep.

But apart from that,....... would you agree he's our Iniesta?
 
Looked a bit off last night to me especially with his passing. I'd bring YaYa and Silva into the team on Sunday with KDB dropping to the bench along with Garcia
 
I thought he was playing too deep most of the time. He's much better around the box. His free kicks and corners are ok though.
 
Great post in the matchday thread about Kev.

I thought Kev had a great game. It seems like he loses the ball a lot because every action he's trying to make something happen. Played a lot deeper last night but I thought he controlled the game for us. Great player to watch, not just his passing but his technique when turning on the ball is majestic. Always gives himself a yard on the defender, and he's how old? What a player we've got on our hands.

Yes. I applauded that post also. He has adapted brilliantly to the New role given him by pep. It is much more demanding than the wider role he had previously. He has much more work to do, has to challenge, pick up second balls, start counter attacks,feed the 2 wingers as quickly as possible, killer passes etc. Against a pressing team there will moments you lose possession in this role. Shame some people can't see that. If he played the Toure position he also would not lose possession.
 
Nice touch by Kev at FT today;



I'm assuming that, going by the location in the stadium, that they're Mackems. Nice one Kev. I doubt it'll get mentioned in the "mainstream" media somehow.
 
He hasn't been on form for a few games now. He can't be exhausted he didn't play that many minutes last game. He's not as agile as before though.
 
Worst performance by KDB in a City shirt ever. Shockingly bad. Couldn't pass to another City player to save his live.
 
I really dunno what's happened to him. He puts in the odd great delivery but where is the Kev from last season that was winning us games by himself? Scoring loads of goals?
 
Worst player on the pitch and probably the most responsible for us not winning today. Squandered a lot of great passing opportunities, took bad options and struggled to even control the ball. Very strange player as he has days like today where he looks like Rooney at an international tournament, but then the rest of the time he's a world beater?
