Been shit for weeks but so many are afraid to say it probably because of his Brilliant first few games.
That's the problem though, he hasn't been 'shit' by any stretch. He's not been fantastic every game as some try and make out but he's certainly been above average for the most part and exceptional in one or two games.
There's definitely been enough from him to be genuinely excited for the future. He's just not going to be wonderful each and every game and we have to accept that. Calling him 'shit' is as much an overreaction as those comparing him to Silva not long ago.
 
The way he plays is always going to split opinions. He's so fast in moving the ball on that it causes havoc for other teams, but equally results in a lot of risky plays that lead to us losing the ball. When the team are firing it's great & makes us much harder to deal with, but when we're playing poor & the movements poor & don't have enough possession it can be detrimental.
 
It's not bollocks, if you think De Bruyne was up to the standard he set earlier in the season, or up to the standard set for him, then you have low expectations of the man who was the figurehead of our attack last night and was completely outshone by his opposite number.

I'll rephrase. In my opinion it's bollocks and in terms of standards, you have standards that are MUCH higher than mine. Nothing wrong with that, but it's why we often disagree quite strongly on issues like this. I don't need 9/10 every week. But I can't deal with 0/10 either.
 
We played better when he wasn't in the team against Sevilla .

He`s a good player .

But his forms gone down hill since the derby a month ago .
 
one of our better players again yesterday on a shit day

I'd like to see him playing less deep and less left more often though
 
Some of his passes were fantastic. There is plenty of criticism of DeBruyne & Sterling on here but they were playing in a shit team. If they had been playing against us instead Liverpool would have scored fucking ten.
This. He put in at least three crosses that if Sterling or Aguero were on their game would have tucked away easily (one Sterling should have just tapped in). He gave away the ball on a few occasions but those were more down to misunderstandings with his teammates (a player would start a run just as De Bruyne passed to them or the opposite).

Everyone was off but De Bruyne certainly put in a shift and tried to pull as through. There are several other player much more deserving of actual criticism.

His form did dip but that was due to that old sod running him into the ground & playing him when he should have been rested. He was clearly struggling v the rags.

Don't undrrstand any criticism of him yesterday. Not sure who would have looked any better in that shite.

he wasn't close to 9/10, I'd say he was on 5/6 form yesterday. You can expect your £50m man to deliver more, without expecting the moon.
 
For a guy who has such a good pass on him he doesn't half give the ball away a lot.

It's a shame our 2 more skilful possession attacking midifelders (Silva and Nasri) are out at the same time because we badly miss a player in their mould. Sterling, KDB and Navas are not good in possession at all.

He played a very good game regarding the circomstances. I"ve watched the game again last night. Liverpool was pressing a lot , they played like we played Sevilla.
If 2 of his 6 assists went in he was the hero.

Hmmmm who to believe.. You Ray (who said he was shit) or Lampard and Carragher who said he was amazing yesterday.....

He wasn't as good as usual but many of his balls in were dangerous. Shit was yaya, mango, mdm, nando, the list goes on.....
 
By his own standards he was bang average yesterday but by the standards of most of his teammates he had a decent game. At least we knew he was on the pitch.
 
If you give the best chef in the world some beans and some bread, you're still just going to get beans on toast.

Don't care if he gives the ball away to be honest, on another day he could have had at least three assists. Even when he's not on form he serves up some mean through balls to scramble the opponents defence. He needs better ingredients at the top of the pitch.

Damn I'm hungry.
 
Remember when some fans on here were saying he's better than David Silva?! Bwaaahahaha! Football fans, bloody hell.
Do you just wait around for matches where he doesn't get a goal/assist & recycle this post or something of a similar ilk?

Unless I'm mistaken this is relating to an argument you had that must have been many weeks ago now - it makes you come across as though you're rooting for him to play badly now so that you can prove a point to someone who was being an optimistic supporter. Seems a little childish (and negative) & probably worth giving it a rest.
 
Cannot understand the need to criticise - there were plenty deserving a slagging off but whilst KDB was not on top form he was one of a very few that offered anything creative
