I feel like Pep doesn't even put Kevin De Bruyne into his tactics, like he probably tells everyone else what to do, but then just tells KDB to go out there and do what he does best and just lets him be. You can't really "manage" a player like that, he knows what he is doing and he is just going to end up with doing what's best in that position.
totally wrong, pep knew what's best for him. It would be better for Pep to save KDB for the upcoming games instead of continuing to play the game with all of his emotions. I remind you that there are around 10 matches remaining and city needs to ensure that club can take three points from all of remaining matches.
Some hard fixtures are awaiting Manchester City, and this should concern all fans. Pep did what's best for the club. I think that you can put your perspective to be the same like pep. He knows what's coming soon. So, the better for pep to get draw in one matches but get perfect results till the last match in EPL rather than get good in one game and sacrifice the rest of games in EPL. There is also chance for arsenal and liverpool to bottled some matches. Winning the rest of games in EPL became pep's main concern to make sure club will able to get trophy this season.
You can't tell him to not run wide, if he thinks that would be the best choice then he will run wide, you can't tell him to go inside for a header, or stay out, or go to corner taker when there is a corner, he will check the defense and read it and do whatever he thinks will be the best. So I just think, even if it wasn't Pep, no manager could manage him, you gotta let him be.
Pep's mindset is a few step ahead compared to us. This makes sense that if i value his decision to have very big impact to the club. EPL is the battle of consistency and it's not make you winningthe trophy when you were able beating your main competitors.
It's caused by the chance for the competitors to surpass you will always there. Pep is not willing to take the risk of it by giving the key player full time to play.
