Pep Guardiola claims Kevin De Bruyne needs to focus on getting "the simple things" right as he faces time on the Manchester City bench.
The Belgian started as a sub once again on Saturday evening - the third time in the last seven league games he's been left out of the starting XI by Guardiola. De Bruyne has, for so much of his time at the Etihad, been the team's leading light, but his displays have not been at his manager's desired level.
The 31-year-old currently sits top of the assist charts in England's top flight as the champions chase a third straight league title. Guardiola is in no doubt about De Bruyne's ability to score and provide for his team-mates, but wants him to do the basics first.
