I was criticising KDB's game this time last season, and from when he started this season. It's clearly a fitness issue.
It's difficult watching a game on the TV but I had the impression last night that KDB was more energetic than he has been of late.
We know from last season that his form picked up as he got fit. The same thing will happen again. IMO we should play him back into form. I don't think he's that far away.
We should also play Sterling on the left.
The poor form of KDB is predictable because we saw exactly the same thing last season. It does though offer a massive upside. KDB is a huge potential source of goals / assists. So far he has zero assists in the League. Imagine what City will be like when he starts to click. He will.
Not so widely mentioned is the poor contribution from Grealish who has added very little to City's game (1 lucky goal and 2 assists).
City are doing well this season because of Bernardo, and Foden who have been on fire. This is good news not bad because is means we are not playing at our full potential yet.
IMO City fans should stop bashing Sterling. Why do you do this? He's playing far below potential but your job is to lift him.
