Kev does his defensive work, Leroy was lazy and often threw his arms in the air or hands on hips when the ball didn't arrive, maybe you were looking at your phone or something but he did it a lot. Listen, he was superb running in behind but he was lazy and you got the distinct impression pep had enough, on his day as good as it gets but his days became more infrequent, he has continued the same attitude at Bayern which is why they are frustrated...a very firm no from meI dont ever remember a game where he did that. There was Burnley away where he had a face like thunder because Laporte and Zinchenko’s passes to him were shit and kept going out of play through overhitting them or passing them nowhere near him. But it’s a myth that he used to throw his arms in the air all the time.
de Bruyne is constantly throwing his arms in their air and moaning at his teammates but nobody ever says a dicky bird about that.
Sané didn’t and doesn’t have an attitude problem. Another myth.
He also wasn’t particularly bad defensively and he was nowhere near a liability. That’s a proper exaggeration! He had one stand-out poor moment defensively against Leicester and even then I thought Pep overreacted on that one.
He also hasn’t been particularly shit at Bayern like others have said. Hes adapted his game to play centrally a bit more at times, although his overall quality has just kind of stood still. But he hasn’t been shit.
