Manchester City fans have urged Belgium to finish their Qatar World Cup campaign early in a bid to bring a beleaguered-looking Kevin De Bruyne back from the international stage.
A 1-0 win over Canada in the opening game day didn't fill anybody watching the tie with confidence as the Red Devils failed to create much, and would have failed to win if not for a Thibaut Courtois penalty save from Alphonso Davies in the first half.
That was followed up on Sunday afternoon with a shock 2-0 loss to Morocco, with De Bruyne especially failing to impress in what looked like a fatigued outing from the red-haired midfielder.
De Bruyne hasn't performed at the usual levels he does for City recently after supplying Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and more with chances galore. But that doesn't mean City supporters are upset with his World Cup form - in fact it's quite the opposite.

With Pep Guardiola's men currently five points behind Arsenal in the title race and a hectic schedule to contend with for the rest of the season, they will need their stars back in top condition if they are to win a third consecutive Premier League title.
And fans have all suggested that De Bruyne coming back from the World Cup early could be a good thing for their hopes of claiming silverware come May.
