KdB missed 18 PL games in 2018.

City still won the league.

Your team is arguably weaker without him this year than it was then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course but he hasn't scored a goal in open play this season.

Their next 3 games are West Brom, Burnley and Sheff U I think they could probably play with 10 men and still pick up 9 points, let alone just bringing Bernado Silva in.

The kind of fixture list that gives Klopp nightmares.

Plus your title rivals were not at the exceptionally world class level of the current league leaders.

Don't think you can deny though that he is still your best player and set up a lot of goals.

Against Sheff United City will be ok but if WBA and Burnley shut the doors it could be a struggle without their best creative influence.

That was the 18/19 season he missed 19 games. He only missed 1 in 17/18 season and 3 last season. Look at how many goals Man City scored last season. He has been key to Man City smashing the smaller teams. His presence alone means defenders are scared of his angled passes so have to retreat.

City were better then without De Bruyne than they are now with him.

KDB has 10 assists this season. Their next best is Sterling with 3.

City have Liverpool Spurs and Arsenal in the next month.

City still have bundles of talent without him. B Silva still not fully firing yet, Mahrez can step up also.

Spurs do aside Kane, and Utd without Bruno but they are much weaker without them. Likewise City, esp. now as some of your regular big players are not quite firing or injured.
