Pretty sure it was those early free kicks that had everyone scrambling to place a player on the ground behind the wall.

Wasn't his first one in a rout against Bournemouth at the Etihad? Think he waved over to the coaching team after it went in to acknowledge how they'd spotted how high the Bournemouth wall always jumped.
 
According to Pep only the second best passer of the ball he has ever worked with ffs. No surprises who the best is.

Who’s the best goalkeeper you’ve worked with Pep? Messi

Who’s the best holding midfielder you’ve worked with? Messi

Pep is wrong, Kev was a better passer than Messi. He had a bigger range for a start.

I watched his assist video and this one back to back, fuck me we have a hell of a job on our hands replacing him. What a incredible player!

I know. I feel very sort of sad and empty now he has gone. I know he is only a footballer, but what a player and there are far more important things in life, but I'm definitely having a minor grief session over his departure.

He literally is irreplaceable. I was in tears watching his 30 minute interview. So glad he agrees with us all that the goal v Chavs 2017 when they were Champs was one of his best. And also at the 1-1 Bernebeu ( which I considered very important) now we know the circumstances of what was happening with Michelle's grandad and Kevs grandmum that week makes it even more incredible.

I miss him x

(Ps am a female so allowed the odd tear!)

Don't worry, been on the verge of tears numerous times myself. Guy next to me at the Bournemouth game kept leaning forward and looking at me (presumably to see if I was crying). Doesn't help how I feel he's been treated and forced out.

Everything I'd want in a player representing this great club. Genuinely world class, no ego, unbelievably driven and competitive, selfless, doesn't seek the limelight and clearly has a deep love of the club. Obviously meant a great deal to him whenever he put that sky blue shirt on. Irreplaceable.

Just got a notification from the Club about a new book on KDB

£60 plus postage - is it just me that thinks that’s a bit of piss take ?
 
Where the fuck’s his mural gone?

That’s something that should have been permanent.

Some of the worst graffiti in human history is a permanent feature across Manchester, yet they take down something like that?

They played against worst teams than today. Remember when Barcelona embarrassed that united squad in the champions league final.

I don't necessarily agree with that. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi were magnificent. It was predominantly all intricate short range passing based on movement though.

KDB's passing is next level even to those guys in my opinion. Threading balls through from miles away, knocking balls in dangerous areas first time before defences have the opportunity to set themselves, hitting balls on a sixpence whilst running at full pace etc. Attributes that were very unique to him.

Complete waste mate, I agree. Should have done a smaller scale one like the Pep one closer to the stadium that could stay up permanently.
