Kevin De Bruyne - 2018/19 performances

[Dax777]

He has to play from the start. Cant bring him on and then have to replace him.

Depends on how healthy he is.

I would start him, hope Pep does. He's such a great player.

me 2 , but think maybe starts on the bench...to ease him back and then play the FA Cup Final

 

[oldius]

He shouldn't start. He is a phenomenal player but he has been injured a lot and always takes several games to get up to speed. Why change a winning formula with the line in sight?

 

[Gabriel]

He’s come back and broken down/been injured too often already this season. Put him on the bench and bring him on if need be, but let’s not jeopardise a prolonged return.

 

[Barcon]

No way I would start him tomorrow.

Never understood the logic. Surely if he's fit then he's fit to start. Then once we get ahead in a game he can be subbed. Alternatively we start with a weaker side. Then bring him on if we end up chasing the game?? It goes agaisnt Peps own logic of starting at your strongest 11 every game.

No way I would start him tomorrow.

Why not if he's fit enough? Crucial game.

 

[Barcon]

Why not if he's fit enough? Crucial game.

Because he usually takes a while to get up to speed after a lay off and I think we have enough quality to win the game without him.

 

[Achillias]

I would start De Bruyne. It's the last game of the match with the title on the line. A much more important trophy than the FA cup. Pep should take the risk because De Bruyne is a game changer and let us play with more desire and pressure in front of the opponent's goal.
