Pep Guardiola has urged Kevin De Bruyne to go back to basics in his quest to rediscover his best form.
The Manchester City midfielder is widely regarded as one of the best players on the planet but, after missing two games through illness, has attracted plenty of criticism from fans for his sluggish return to action.
Guardiola has confessed to needing to speak with De Bruyne at half-time of his return against Forest because the Belgian was being 'too passive', but the 31-year-old followed that up with a sloppy showing against Newcastle which saw him hooked on the hour mark.
