Former footballer Tony Cascarino believes that two Manchester City players, Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker, are not performing at the level they once were. While some may argue that City’s players are still superior to many others in the Premier League and beyond, Cascarino’s assertion is bold considering their recent success in winning the treble during the 2022/2023 season. While players like Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake have shown glimpses of their previous brilliance, the overall standards at City remain sky-high.
Cascarino’s comments focus mainly on De Bruyne and Walker, who he feels are not the players they once were due to their age and possibly declining performances. While Walker’s decline may be more evident in his positioning and decision-making on the field, De Bruyne’s injuries have affected his form this season. Despite this, De Bruyne has still shown moments of brilliance in games against top teams like Newcastle and Real Madrid. Cascarino’s assessment of Walker may be more accurate than that of De Bruyne, as the English defender has made noticeable errors in recent matches.
While Cascarino’s claim about De Bruyne and Walker not being at their best anymore may seem premature to some, his observation of Walker’s decline is backed by his recent performances. De Bruyne’s injury struggles have impacted his form, but he has still shown flashes of his exceptional talent. It remains to be seen if these two players can regain their peak form and contribute significantly to City’s continued success in the future.
