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?

Playing deeper and is required to help out more defensively and off the ball. His output was always going to take a hit.
 
If Gundogan was fit, Kev probably wouldn't be starting most matches right now. Great player, but out of form and low on confidence.

He still had two brilliant crosses which could have easily decide the game. He won't dictate your game as Silva does obviously.

Yep. He's certainly not a replacement for Silva & I think most have seen this for a while. Alongside Silva he works great, but without we're not able to dominate a game as well. A top player but needs help to be at his best.

High risk high reward player, was pretty poor for the majority of the match but then probably should've won us the game with 2 assists late on; just a shame Iheanacho/Sane didn't capitalise.
 
I think people who look at KDB and think he should control a game like Silva are going to be disappointed. He is a big moment player, he creates moments in games and tonight was a prime example of that, he had a relatively poor game overall but he could have easily walked off the field with 3 assists with better finishing from his teammates.

very good point there. he can play shit all game, but he comes up with match winning goals/assists
 
He seems to be trying too hard at the moment. Had a big chance to slide Sane in and gave it way that said he still produced two amazing crosses that should have led to a goal. He'll be ok and will be a vital player for us for a long time. Also he needs more runners and tonight we were once again too slow in build up and too static.

Said that to my lad at the game.
 
He's been on and off for a few games. He struggles without Spanish Dave for whatever reason.

As much as it pains me, he really was very poor tonight and people whinged about Navas,who at least put in a better performance.Just one of those games for Kev,but unfortunately not for the first time over the last few games.

KdB's radar has been faulty for a few matches now. You can see what he wants to do but some of the execution - the corner, or was it a free, last night straight along the ground to the defender, was a shocker - and he seems to be in two or three minds as to what to do with the final pass. The one where he spurned the option to Sane was indicative of how he's been performing lately. But I still felt that he could put away one of those free kicks. It'll be our kind of luck that he will do it when we've already chalked up a couple of goals.
 
Said it before and will say it again,when he's on fire he's bloody great,but when he has some off games,he stands out like a sore thumb,and as of late he's been off,just not good enough at present to warrant a start really
