17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2022/23 Performances

[youngbob]

He's only 31...sometimes you guys talk about him like he's pushing 38 like Modric.

We still have several seasons left of him at his best.

Very true. But his ankle injuries have been bad, his form has been patchier during parts of the last couple of seasons, and Kevin's even admitted that he nearly did himself in playing with those painkilling injections during the Euros. Plus, he's had two serious knee ligament injuries in his career that look like they slowed him down a bit prematurely. But he's still out there swinging and producing nights like last night.

5 min postmatch interview on US TV with Kev ...

One of the most informative interviews, what you see is what you get from Kevin. Wonder if he'd make a good manager. I put my money on it!

I think when Bellingham comes in, we're going to see him take a lot of the defensive workload off KDB and we'll see more games with Haaland and KDB close together and Kev will get a lot more goals and assists.

Don't really think of KDB as a goalscorer but he's 8th in the PL all time goalscoring records for midfielders now.

Don't really think of KDB as a goalscorer but he's 8th in the PL all time goalscoring records for midfielders now.

KDB has third in the all time assists in sight. 2 assists and he'll pass Pugface (103), with just Fabregas (111) and Family Wrecker (162) above him. Mahrez is 27th with 56 assists.

Big game player , make him mad helps as well

So far from finished it is a ludicrous statement by some , plenty left in the tank

 

[BlueTG]

If Haaland brings up 60 goals for the season, and Kev brings up his City 100 goals, we’ll have won the lot.

 

[mrbelfry]

He has an unbelievable drive and ability to make extremely hard stuff look very easy. Genuinely a player that would be one of the best players in whatever team he played in.

 

[freshie]

Absolutely extraordinary that anyone can have a go at De Bruyne on current form. He was good tonight, very composed and got us up the park.

Well there's no shortage of idiots on here

 

[Chi-town blues]

That pass Midway first half near right side touch line was insane. Man is playing 5D billiard . His presence of mind and vision is out of this world .
