"They're both top dogs in their clubs. It looks to me that De Bruyne is not happy playing second fiddle to Hazard because when there's the option to give it to either, the ball goes to Hazard. I think De Bruyne finds it hard to accept it."
"They come back from two goals down so it may sound stupid to say it now. I still question the attitude. I don't think this is a united team. In fact, if you take De Bruyne out of the team, they may actually benefit because I think the way they do play, there are other players in the squad who can do a better job than he does."He feels that the same problem that plagued the England national team is now affecting the Belgians. They have loads of stars, but they aren't meshing well. With that in mind, he believes De Bruyne might have to be sacrificed from the starting XI.
"They talk about a golden generation. I think we had a golden generation in Egnland who never did an awful lot... The problem, I think, with the generation in them days with England was that the managers picked the best players rather than the best team. And I think he's in a similar situation now." "The way they do play, I think it's a better side if you bring somebody instead of Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne's been an outstading player for City. But, you've got to pick a team where people compliment each other and want to play with each other and work together. I haven't seen anything."https://twitter.com/RTEsoccer/status/1013880487431958528
