I really wonder how Manchester would be able to do without a star like Kelvin De Bryune because whenever he's in the pitch of play, there's this confidence that Manchester city players normally have in them. Just look at the impact De Bryune made in tonight match this shows that he is really an important player that Manchester city cannot afford to lose. He has a distinct way of controlling the midfield without mistakes most of the time and the ability of the strikers to score is dependent on the coordination of the midfield and Kelvin De Bryune is always equal to the task
You are right that in the first half of this season, Manchester City lost their leader on the field because Kevin was injured, but in the second half of this season, Kevin De Bruyne returned to the Manchester City squad after recovering from his injury. He returned to the field as a substitute in today match but he managed to make this match go quite well because he contributed one goal in bringing Manchester City to victory in today match.
Apart from that, Kevin is really needed by his teammates because he is able to control the midfield quite well. For this reason, Manchester City really hopes that Kevin will not suffer another injury because this season the competition for the title has been very fierce because Liverpool and Aston Villa have appeared quite consistent so far. But unlike Arsenal, they have experienced setbacks recently. Now Manchester City is only two points away from Liverpool who are at the top of the standings, of course that is quite close if you look at the remaining matches this season.
