Again wouldn't be surprised to see him get Gotzed under pep. Supremely talented player but he's not the type of player that will thrive in Peps possession heavy, space devoid style. He's a counter attacking number 10 adept at playing in transition, anticipation and long balls.

Lets not degrade KdB here pls! He isnt a coward. He doesnt think he is Messi. And hes showing willingness to work hard. So if u want to hv a go at Pep, use better examples.

What about what I said is having a go at Pep? The fact that every single player's strengths don't fit into his system? He has 80M in two of the transfers he's made that haven't seen the pitch yet. They both play positions that KDB can play in and they both provide the type of play that Pep wants out of those positions.
Agreed. Think he'll be shifted out wide once Gundogan's fit. He doesn't look comfortable at all in the new CM role & was completely outshone by Silva at the weekend.Again wouldn't be surprised to see him get Gotzed under pep.

At one point he was the rightback blocking a shot for a corner!I think he was very good against West Ham. Got into dangerous positions, created chances for the team and did a decent work defensivly. Can see him getting better for every game.

Dunno where this critism of Kev is coming from, the lads class & has been very willing to put in the hard yards under the Pep regime. His vision & passing range is amazing, he sees things quicker than virtually every other player, can score a goal from open play or free kick, is there a player out there with a better delivery of a dead ball?

I'm kind of forced to agree with you there mate......Gundogan & Sane (if used centrally) will bench him, I have no even the slightest doubt. My opinion hasn't changed after the last game. Wing or bench - that's the question. Nasri's possible revival makes it even more complicated for KdB.

If Kun gets suspended/injured for the next game, is it possible to deploy Kev as a false 9? He's got good positioning, an eye for the killer ball, and he can place shots from distance. Playing from central midfield has hampered his influence on the pitch.
He's going to be a key player, just not quite gone for him so far.
Once Bravo is in the team especially, a quick ball out to De Bruyne, then he will have so many options with pace and movement of Sterling, Aguero, Sane, Nolito etc, we'll be devastating.
