I think what we saw tonight is just what KDB is these days.
A younger KDB alongside Merlin was a level we are likely never to see again. Two number 8s who basically had everything. A perfect storm of two players in their prime. We’ve lost Merlin and unfortunately KDB is now at a different stage of his career, where he doesn’t have the consistency he used to. That doesn’t mean he isn’t still a fantastic footballer, who can do things even now that others can only dream of.
Dare I say it but KDB these days reminds me a little of the 1st season of that ugly, rat-faced, moaning **** from United. Average for long periods, but then comes up with the goods. Kev isn’t as good as he was, but he’s still better than the vast majority.
