Has always been over rated but Rodgers has completely killed him. Looks a shadow of last seasons player. 

[funkyrobot]

He really struggled to track back yesterday, he was bypassed pretty much every time. On the ball he was slow. He didn’t move into space with any real intent to show for others when a teammate had the ball. He occupies such a limited space for a central midfielder. Not switching with Tielemans or even coming central much. Just ploughs that inside left channel. Presumably that last bit is down to Rodgers, a manager so rigid in player’s roles and positions on the pitch.

Struggling at the moment - swap him for Praet

Ndidi needs to be swapped for Mendy

Swap Ward for Iverson

Kel and Daka together

Has been shit, but right now he and most of the others have plenty of 'credit' in the bank. Let's see what they can do when we (finally) get rid of turkey teeth. 

He’s only had half a good season tbf. Not sure he has the same credit in the bank as the likes of Barnes or Ndidi. Plenty of average players are great for half a season, not saying he won’t come good, but I don’t think you can say he’s playing well below his proven and established like you can with others.

I've always found him to be overrated to be brutally honest.

He is overrated by our fans. I think we wouldn't look twice at him if he was at another side like Palace or Southampton.

 

But at the minute he looks worse, slow and constantly turning to use his left foot which slows everything down.

[ithuriel]

Quality player but just like Justin, trying far to hard at present and thus making mistakes they would not normally make, lack of leadership on the pitch.

Hes serviceable in this division and nothing more. 

 

For a lad from Shepshed to make it as a PL as a regular starter is incredible. 

 

But he is not a world class player by any stretch of the imagination. And you're right about him only using his left, that is very frustrating.

People blame Brendan for players bad form - KDH, Ndidi, Justin etc.

i am sure a lot fans will be disappointed how all these players will perform after Brendan is sacked

Everything is not Brendan's fault 

Point is - KDH is bang average, just like Justin

A lot of people suddenly saying “knew he was overrated all along” 🤡 

 

He is a top player, who’s engine, battle, ball winning skills and ability to drive forward with the ball is invaluable to us. 
 

Sadly, he’s coached by a muppet, that sends a side out with no shape or cohesion. We have no balance in midfield and as a result none of them play well. 
 

Quite frankly we are a mess and to hammer a young local lad is the last thing our fans should be doing. If he was signed from the French league and was big and strong but completely useless you’d all be saying that he should start and that’s he’s underrated. 
 

Keep faith in the lad, he will come strong again under a proper manager with strong leadership skills.

Just a “runner” I’m afraid but you can still have a good career, Jordan Henderson being the obvious example.

He’s 24. Same age as Justin, Barnes and only a year younger than Maddison.

And?

He only broke through and got in the first team at 23.

Players develop at different speeds and rates.

And in comparison to them, he has far less playing experience than them. So relatively young still in terms of experience and his career.

I know but he wouldn’t have got into our better sides anyway.

He’ll do well to end up half as good as Jordan Henderson 

[An Sionnach]

It makes me laugh people running down a fine player like KDH . This is Leicester not Real Madrid and not even Brentford right now.

[ronnup]

He's absolutely as good as the hype, he's developing and will have quiet patches.

There is a common thread though that is it seems the longer a player is coached by Rodgers, the worse that player gets.

 

[An Sionnach]

At the moment our whole team, bar Maddison, is performing way below bang average. My main gripe is why perform to orders that they as professionals know , are illogical and failing badly. What in the hell can Rodgers do to them if they tell him to stuff his orders where the sun don't shine. He is going anyway.

Maddison says the players totally respect Rodgers

He’s not going to come out and publicly slate him, are they? Only Rodgers does that about the players, Maddison won’t stoop down to his level.

[Facecloth]

Let's add KDH to the list of players, including Tielemans, Ndidi, Justin, Castagne, Fofana, Soyuncu, Schmeichel, Vardy, Daka, Barnes, Thomas, Maddison at times, Evans, Ward, Praet, Soumare, Perez and Iheanacho, who have all supposedly regressed under Rodgers coaching. I wonder what the one thing that links them all? 

[SafewayFox]

KDH when isn’t playing at a high tempo/covering lots of grass is pretty much a passenger.

 

However, he has all the ingredients of a player who will be very much needed when we get a more disciplined coach in.

 

Curious to see how well he plays for a new boss.

The conversations in the dressing room will not be so polite. I suspect Vardy has already told him what he thinks of his tactics. Our players should ignore his redundant game plan and play the way they want to. To his credit Guardiola has just said managers are overrated. He is one of the few that I do think can make a difference. The majority often ramble on cluelessly until they disappear up their own backsides and get sacked.
